I mean you when making the bass you can always make a long loop of you going down a scale and then chop it up after you bounce it... or sometimes c2 repeating can work..... You might be suprised how sometimes higher notes can affect the precieved bass note playing. Your could dump the bottom frequen...

Anyone been trying 80bpm out? Its really nice for some sludgy dark glitch hop. <3

Any tips on adding drums into a super deep atmospheric tune? every time i try the drums turn out sounding so synthetic or unreal.. Example: http://soundcloud.com/austincurtis/katsa I know it's my own song but I'm at a loss... There is some percussion in there already but thats also pretty much atmo...

Hey everyone(: I've been working on a slow dubstep track with a lot of funk and hip hop elements, such as KOAN Sound does in a lot of their tracks. I've had a lot of ideas go through my head, but I can't really think of what kind of baseline to make for this song. I don't want anything too complext...

It should be noted you can't polish a turd.... If your acoustic or none EQ'd drum sounds like shit it will prolly come out a bit better but not a lot. Also a compressor is not an insta-drum fix...

Telling my girlfriend I make music. :roll: For example, We were getting drunk with people today and the converstion shifts to the amount of college kids now a days trying to be dubstep producers. So my girlfriend outs me as one of the many... :oops: Although I would like to think there is a differen...

No, just..... Kick on 1,2, and 4... snare alone on 3... Leading up to that is a regular kick on each beat like you were doing, but when you incorporate the snare take the kick off the 3rd beat....

Just leave your kick off of two and four and start working with 8th and 16th notes and fill in your beat...

Well if I am understanding you correctly, you are still doing a Four to the floor beat. In dubstep you generally have a half time beat. Kick on the 1 and a snare on the 3, If your are going for the generic dubstep beat.

Tune it! is a free plugin that works pretty well.
