Thanx for the feedback guys, I guess it's just a cruel joke lol, the perfect dubstep riffs with no ability to automate...It's like having Jessica Alba in your bed and you can't even touch or look at her

Keep Stepping homeys!!!

Itchy is awful... never got any decent sounds outta them. :|

Try hitting record, moving the rate knob about, going to edit events and then drawing in your LFO speed.

@Filthzilla, I tried that mate didn't wana budge an inch, you know usually whilst tweaking knobs, the vst automatically allows you to edit said knob at the bottom of the screen, but it just says none, rather strange.

as for the sounds, they are quite great in my opinion as you can tweak them to your will and they are rather crisp. the drugs on the vst's are rather disturbing lol

I don't know about the bro, but I can get all kinds of pads and atmos, and tensions, and just fucking odd little sounds/rhythms out of them.

They automate just fine in flstudio.

Try this...
In your instrument rack, at the bottom of the screen, click the little right arrow that opens up the icon thingy for that instrument (in this case your itchy synth). It should open up with a blank space next to it and offer macro settings n shit. There should be a button that says "Configure" I think. If you hit that stuff goes green. Now move your mouse onto the itchy synth knob you want to automate. It should bring a new field up in the macro section of your instrument. When you move the slider, it should change the parameter in the synth. You can automate that to your heart's content.

This might not make much sense, as I am at work and doing this from memory. If you don't get what i'm on about, let me know and i'll do screenshots when i'm home. Unless you've already tried it, then I fail lol

@zerbaman It's all good bro no worries :) I assume trolling refers to people that just 'loaf' on forums? I'm kinda new to this lol
some anti-trolling tips would be great bro

@Sparxy Shot mate!!! That totally did the trick, worked like a charm, now I can automate at will, thanx alot really.
I'm from South Africa This is my first time using forums and it's refreshing to see how helpful people can be, without even knowing the next person, in this world :) your track is siiiiiiiick bruv!!! This main riff is travelling through my skin here keep it up!!
