I nominate this for the best reply of 2013.

Holy shit, my sides.

thanks for both of your help. appreciate it.

how am i an asshole? im just saying you come off like a proper prick. like your the best thing since sliced bread. yet you cant even put in the time to learn your tools. your full of yourself and talk a big game and show nothing but ignorance to back it up.

The sound at :33 seconds....it sounds like two LFO's....one much faster than the other.

Is there a name for this kind of synth?

i shit dubstep

Cool story pard. I've selected my highlights:

I taught myself how to program at 9 from reading source code
about 8 years ago...dubstep wasn't even invented yet
I literally breathe dubstep
I have been doing all this shit before it blew up in the US
over 30,000 dollars STRAIGHT cash
The ...

lol, well I can see you are certainly stoked. FYI though...we've been raving in the states long before dubstep exploded. We've been proper raving since at least 1990 (the US that is).
oh i know, but the general (retarded) population likes to think of this whole new EDM and molly shit as the ...

i masturbate to dubstep

Why did you buy a MIDI Fighter?

Shit has always appeared to be an overpriced gimmick to me. For the less money you could be buying a proper drum pad controller like a padkontrol or something.

I use my MIDI Fighter when I'm mixing. I got a DJM-900 running Traktor and I'm going to custom map my ...

Sell it and buy an MPK61.
Profit.
I have the MPK49 already...

Already winning?

it's pretty much just a different platform to tap out beats. If you already have the idea in your head, it's useless, but for inspiration and a new "take" on things it's interesting to have.

Basically just useful ...

On a side note, how important do you guys feel it is to stick to one genre or style when promoting yourself? I love all kinds of music and make all kinds of music, but I feel a bit like I should have one alias for dubstep, another for housey/technoey stuff, another for more chilled stuff.. does ...

I have a Maschine...should I just sell this thing? What could I possibly use it for? I already have Ableton 9, a Launchpad, a Midifighter...

Does anyone use a Maschine in their production setup? I can't find any reason to have it at all.

I don't plan on doing "live" performances or recording live ...

I saw a thread on here maybe two days ago about how you could buy "views". The guy bought like 30k views on a mediocre song. That still says a lot. If you're able to make tracks that sound just as good as a heavyweight producer and still can't get enough exposure I could see that potentially helping ...

Everything is exactly what I was looking for...thanks a bunch guys.

Subtractor's alright, Thor's good to learn with as well if the interface makes sense to you. If I were you, I'd just pick one synth and master it, aka Alchemy. Dealing with a complex synth will bump the learning curve up a tad at the start but it'll pay off when you've grown really comfortable with ...

The production bible is a good resource on here.

There's many types of synthesis so you'll be learning them in modules most likely. I'd recommend just getting a powerhouse synth and then learning what everything does bit by bit.

Start off with subtractive synthesis, learn filter types, amp and ...

I dunno a particular source but.... some of it is basic physics of sound, some of it is understanding the intricacies of the synth you are using, and most of it is knowing through experience what certain shit does or sounds like. Its like making a salad dressing, you can follow a recipe exactly ...

Is this kind of "dirty/grimey" bass like this only possible in Reason?
Soundcloud
The synth sounds like a distorted horn....I've pretty much mastered Massive, can't seem to get it just right. I think I might have to use another synth.

I'm trying to find a really good place/book/source to teach myself audio engineering basically...I feel that would be much more helpful to myself to know the technical details rather then watching tutorials on how to make sounds using a specific synth by turning some knobs. I want to literally ...

I'm trying to recreate the types of talking basses in this thread:
http://dubstepforum.com/viewtopic.php?f=63&t=271029

It almost sounds like the synth starts laughing....I recreated something extremely similar in Massive automating the rate of a phaser with the rate of the LFO and using the ...
