Forget Massive. Serum is going to take bass music by storm.

Been working on this one for awhile (track in my sig). Give it a listen and tell me what you think!

Cheers!

Thanks peeps. Sound advice that I'll keep in mind!

“Nobody tells this to people who are beginners, I wish someone told me. All of us who do creative work, we get into it because we have good taste. But there is this gap. For the first couple years you make stuff, it’s just not that good. It’s trying to be good, it has potential, but it’s not. But y...

Ham is by far the best.

sometimes i just have to step a away after it playing for so long Its always good to take short breaks and give your ears some time to reset. We have a knack for killing the "magic" of a song listening to it over and over ad nauseum. So if you find yourself just looping the same thing ove...

Since you're using Ableton I'll direct you to the Auto Filter in the Audio Effects folder. Then take the advice of the previous posters.

Cheers!

Not to mention they have hundreds of free videos online: http://www.youtube.com/user/dubspot

I would dive into my synths and start doing sound design. This is creative murder. Understand the relativity of that statement. Tracks can be inspired simply from tweaking on a synth, or layering a few sounds together. You have to find what works for you. These hard and fast rules are ridiculous. E...

Typically for remixes (be it from an official competition or the producer knows you and wants you to remix a song of theirs) you'll be given the stems of the song. Stems are essentially what you're curious about, the separation of instruments for the entire track, each instrument would be in a separ...

Glad to see DSF on the ill.methodology workshop! I payed for the full workshop on his site a few weeks ago and he has absolutely mint advice for budding producers.

I've never payed much attention to his music apart from his collabs with Bassnectar but he certainly knows his way around EDM production.

thx guys ya i kinda figured chords in basslines would get a bit jumbled but i got a nice atmospheric chord progression goin on in one of my tunes. could anyone throw down some scales that go good in dubstep and glitchhop? I mostly use f minor and f#minor but jus curious what everyone else is doin. ...

If you're a perfectionist. Stop it. Your tunes are not and may never reach a point where you can say "wow, I'm EXACTLY as good as I wanted to be". When writing a tune (and this took me too long to get over) sound design should be left until the end. If you have a melody in your head, put i...

Your basslines have to make sense when you're stitching them together for the "drop". Doesn't matter that you're working with hugely wonkey and distorted sounds, its still got to have something driving it forward. Rhythm. Flow. Listen intently to the guys already pumping out tunes that you...

Madeon is a great example of exactly that imo (at the 2:30 mark)

He's got a lot of good thoughts. have no idea who this guy is, but totally agree with everything he says../ Absolutely. Some people just need a serious wake up call. If your he...
