Mixing Dubstep with Pop

[SLASH]

I just saw this on youtube and thought it was funny and apropriate for this thread

Man you aint seen nothing yet. America is gonna rape dubstep until the whole fucking world is sick of it. Nobody knows how to rinse the shit out of an old horse like USA. They poison everything. Who cares though, there is always good shit happening in the underground.

It's true! And that's why I don't understand your guys anger! If you don't like the pop stuff, don't fucking listen to it! There's always great stuff in the underground!

This thread is bad and you should feel bad for making it.

[sargentpilcher]

If you don't like it, you don't have to take part.

Sigh, you don't get it. The anger's not because of commercial dubstep. You'll find a lot of people here who like it. The reason why people are getting pissed at you is cos you're openly admitting to exploiting dubstep as a business venture and you don't seem to even like it. You're talking about it like just another fad that needs to be taken advantage of before it dies. Your ignorance about the whole thing isn't helping either.

I'm sorry if I came off that way. When I make it sound like I don't like "Dubstep" that's just symantecs. I don't like 90% of "Dubstep", but I LOVE skrillex, and the way he does his music. Whatever you guys want to call that, I guess it's "Brostep". So sorry guys, if I could change the title of the thread to "Mixing Brostep with pop" I would, but you guys just can't get over it. If you don't like the thread, then get out, I don't want your opinion if all you're doing is shitting on the idea. Nobody needs that.

lol this so many times

OP, you say you're sorry if you came across that way, but in the very same post you continue to come across that way... seems like you came here expecting a bunch of yes men, but unfortunately (or perhaps fortunately?) for you, you met a bunch of intelligent people

After the last 3 - 4 days of trying to insert dubstep into a chorus, I'm closer and closer to agreeing with you guys. That's not to say that I won't still try, but I think the dubstep stuff will probably have to stay on a bridge or something. But, I mean, it HAS to be possible to make a bangin' chorus, even if you have to tone down the dubstep, there's gotta be something awesome one could do to make it sound awesome, it's just a matter of finding that awesomeness.

or alternatively you could just stop trying to cash in on the flavour of the month

im very interested in this kind of combination. check out the track in the sig and let me know your advice. i think dubstep will eventually return to a more chill vibe than brostep. as much as i love crazy modulated midrange, i would love to hear more tracks like rusko's hold on and magnetic man's i need air. any recommendations?

I'm sorry to be "that" guy but dubstep isn't something you insert into a track.

Its feeling, a community and a mindset. Just adding a womp here and there on a pop tune - makes it still a pop tune with a womp in it.

Maybe you should be looking in places what specialize on making pop music?


To answer your question though - its just a matter of using the right sounds for the track (just like anything).
Dubstep is a very dark and broody style of music, I honestly can't see how it'll relate to mainstream radio though, unless we gave everyone a free sub?

this.
