Make your own Dubstep!

its super cool try it out.

it will show a tutorial video and have a box next to it saying loading at first then something like: click to start (click it!)

I hear fruity loops works well, too. I really like the FL9 demo, but I also just use it for fun when I'm bored.

I'll try out that link soon.

 

I use ableton live 8 and a few awesome VSTs. Mostly Native Instrument's plug-ins, but i got some freeware stuff too. This link is kind of useless to me lol.

 

I used to have Cakewalk Pro Audio 9, I really liked that program, although I mostly used it for sheet music stuff and rarely for midi or other types of files.

 

Try acid studios and soundforge they are awesome! I always use acid and all these loops my dad gave me its really fun when your bored..

Also there is a program called reaper and a lot of famous people use it apparently and they will give you a copy of it for like $60 or something if you can prove that your not a player in a known band.. Don't quote me on the price.. I honestly forget how much it costs.

 

reaper license for non-commercial is $60

its an awesome program with great potential.

 

I would love to start making my own shit, but I find those programs hard to use. They are really confusing to a newbie.

 

Download Fruity Loops and Massive as a plug-in for the wobbles. It's what most of the DJs for dnb and dubstep use

 

Please do not encourage this type of behavior! :hippy:

 

Just like a foreign language looks hard to use and confusing so do DAWs plug-ins and the whole universe of audio gear and software when you first look at them. A good place to start is by using video tutorials on youtube and elsewhere. I would be lying if I said it's easy. It has taken me years to get where i am in Reason 4.0, and then my hard drive died and i had to start all over again in Ableton 8. It has completely absorbed my life for the past few months and ive become something of a hermit because of it. Don't be discouraged it is very possible that you can learn to produce just like everyone else, you just need drive and willingness to sit for many hours twiddling with knobs and arranging clips in a sequencer. It is addicting as hell. Also expensive. if you actually go as far as to buy a full setup complete with midi controllers, studio monitors, headphones you can drop more than a grand easily.

Massive is popular but you need a few extra effects plug-ins to really get the sound that many popular producers use. Massive is often bitcrushed, reverbed, compressed, and distorted to all hell to get a nasty bassline. Also It's very daunting to pick up if you are a beginner. Not an easy VST to master.

 

It's hard to find what you want but it's easy to discover what sounds good if that makes sense. Just playing with it I usually find five sounds I like in a half hour. But yeah, it's really hard to make it work WITH you haha.

 

Agreed. I can discover a new sound easily just by opening presets and reconfiguring them or by working my way up from a basic sine/squ. I have the hardest time in the world trying to engineer a particular sound from scratch. I guess thats why I'm not a massive guru yet.

 

sound design is what I find highly interesting. developing new sounds, making beautiful, lush, universal music that people from egypt, china, usa, and europe can all get down to at the same time! I wish I was as smart and techy as some of those guys. My favorite producer, Deru, now based out of LA but Seattle in the past, is the biggest gear nerd ever. He has probably 30,000 + dollars worth of stuff in his studio at home (read an article on him a while back), and he writes scores for plays and also did a few commercials if im not mistaken. the dude is a true musician, and all 3 of his albums are straight haunting because of the emotions they create.

 

thanks

 

I have used FL8 and 9 Producer Edition to make progressive trance songs. I have always found the programs easy to use, but that's just me. I haven't attempted dubstep yet though.
