What do you mean you used sends to make the mid growl? How would you go about that...?
I used logic's test oscillator set it to around 40-50 hz so had a nice warn sine wave sub.Sent this to a bus then added bitcrusher just to create overtones then logic's auto filter for some band pass growl nonsense.Sounds quality.I also sent the bus output to another buss that i added guitar rig too,added more overtones to thicken the sound up a bit then mixed the levels to taste.Very simple yet sounds fucking heavy.

yeah, i used to do some of my midrange synths in a similar manner... was just distortion plus reverb tho... it can get you a pretty nice sound

It is a really good technique,not only does the sub sound absolutely booming when you do pitch edits if effects the mid pitch too obviously.It is a quality effect that i think people should try,takes mins to set up and no fanny assing around with any synths.

Hey. Can you add me in the "roster" for next week? I would love to try this out. I might even give it a go this week and finish a song in a couple days! But I will next week for sure!

hey OP can the next week be hip hop style? I want to have a go at making a hip hop beat/hip hop influenced track, but I really only have time for one track a week, if that.

Only if others are interested, but would a lot of people be interested in a hip hop style track??? That'd be cool

surely you could produce any style or genre
why limit yourself to dubstep?
levitation, vocals, etc. all can be in a hip hop vein.

Probably won't be able to finish up a tune for this week, just a heads up. Loved your guys' tunes for week 1 though, killer! Can't wait to see what you guys have ready for this week. :D

....did I ever say I was going to limit myself to dubstep?
I think you misinterpreted my post, I was asking to do a hip hop sort of thing next week, NOT dubstep. :?

Oh I gotcha, fair enough, I was just wondering if others were interested so we could make it universal and everyone would do something like that, not that it matters hugely
