There isn't a formula... what is most important is that you make GOOD tunes, not that they be dubstep necessarily. I can't remember who said it, but get good at the program you are using first, and then make tunes second.

If you know how to use it, then making dubstep is pretty much as easy as just making it. Please keep it closer to 140, though... the sleepy stuff is getting a bit boring anymore, most times.

I think i should just buy a quasmadi 309 and pay off the rest of my radias and stick to gabber/breakcore.

And keep the dub as a side project. or just buy a load of dub rekkids and get used to it, and prepare for a long adventure :D

What I mean by that, is that there is no special way to make dubstep... it is what it is. You use the same methods as you would for any other genre, only you modify the way things sound a little differently...

It's not like there is a formula, is what I mean.
