I must say I agree with: There is only room for one Skrillex. Just do your own thing!

Question!

Does anyone know how to fade from one EQ to another EQ on the same track? would this involve instrument rack chaining?

what do you mean fade from one EQ to another?
you mean frequencies or actual EQ vst?

if you mean frequencies then you can just automate the curve to move.

yeh, that`s just a frequency change though.
Just a matter of automating the notch to move from vowel to vowel.

i think he was going for the automating the dry/wet of each EQ

Here is the tutorial:



I feel like this video deserves to have it's own thread, which should be promptly stickied and then closed.

Here is my go at the growl bass.

Used fm8 for the high end of the growl and moogv for the lows. Ill fire up a tut if ppl want to see how this was done.

Here is the linky, the growls come n go throughtout the track. http://soundcloud.com/citizenkained/dro ... ombs-promo

how the hell do you make the sub bass copy EXACTLY what the dubstep wobbles are doing???!

example : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YmCe3fg7B4w
(doctor P-Big boss)
Skrillex also does this

It's obvious that during the drop the sub bass moves with wobbles and you can here it sync perfectly... It is not just a copy of the track of the wobble track pasted into the sub bass track-> that would not lead to the wobbles being heard in the sub bass. There has to be some way of sending Massives wobbles to the sub bass. How is this done?=> preferably respond with how it would be done in Ableton w/ Ni Massive.

I know that few people probably know the actual answer to this... the rest are going to try and bullshit some sort of an answer haha but take a shot! (I have a feeling this separates great drops from average drops).

Take your wobble track, control/cmd+D that shit, take the duplicated track and leave the LFO's where they are, take off all effects, turn 1 oscillator only onto sine wave, transpose, profit.
You'd have to adjust the area of cutoff effect though because a sine with the same cutoff as some midrangey wank will sound like the sub is coughing
