Just the ableton redux and CMT. I meant a couple

Been fucking around with bitcrushing and getting some crazy sounds. Just downlaoded TAL Bitcrusher gonna test that one out

I'll say this about crushing/distorting with resampling. It's easy to overdo it. The harder and dirtier you go, the less room you have to add subtleties and texture to your music [both of which will add loads of lasting value to your shit.] But if instant gratification is your thing, then by all means, crush away.

^^ that is true as well

Will someone please recommend a good plugin with downsampling feature that works on OSX? (we dont get cmt bitcrusher )Right now, I'm just using the re-dux tool in ableton, but i find that it creates too much of a 'ringing' sound... it is also very difficult to filter out this ring without losing alot of the grit of the original sound... Thanks

gnarbucks.. it is! free as well! tah

Didn't have the opportunity to try that yet but it seems like a pretty good guide.

Added to the bible as suggested.

Thanks for the tip sheet

alright, so im in FL, and you lost me at the link to 2 channels thang.

i get linking to one channel, just set the "FX" thang on ur plug to whatever number, but HOW THE HELL do you link to 2 diff channels?

totally lost on that. i see you said "for FL users, just click another tab further down" but i have no idea what that means....


would love some help, i wanna start tearing some shit up.

@bokatordubstep

Say your wired to channel 4, click on the tab where the arrow is next to it on channel 5. That should wire it from 4 into 5. It works well as it allows you to totally fucking destroy the second (or third, fourth etc) channel while still retaining elements of the original sound. As i said in the first post, once youve nailed a crazy sound, go back to the original channel and add something like a flanger or chorus (or even just turn the volume up or mess with the EQ). This slight addition will run through all the other effects you have on the extra channels so will completly alter the sound even with the slightest tweak. Also duplicating the synth patch and making different sounds on the same effects chain works well as it allows you to have shitloads of different bass sounds on the go with them all blending well together in a mix and not sounding disjointed. I did all the sounds for this remix: http://www.mediafire.com/?oy2z3uwmeng on the same chain, just resampling them to EQ and compress seperatly afterwards. Spose you could say its a slightly lazy way of doing things, but anything that speeds up the workflow and sounds sweet is a good thing in my book.

@ Daft tnuc
Its a true honour to be added to the legendary bible. Much appreciated mate! Thats made my night.
Cheers!

wow dude, badass remix
thanks for that


and thanks for the explanation, i shall proceed to fuck shit up

This is my first post, so nice to meet you all.

@dc_wolftown - That song is sick! I listened to it and I think I might put it on my iPod if it's cool with you. ^^

I don't know much about dubstep production yet but I'm learning quickly, so hopefully I'll learn a lot from posting here.

yeah go for it man! Have a go at setting up an fx chain like i said in the first post, all the sounds in that track i made with that resampling technique (and the comedy xmas track i did - http://www.dubstepforum.com/greg-lake-i ... reg%20lake). Best thing i recommend is once youve got a banging set of fx, try a few different sounds through it and see how it works with those. sometimes it sounds great with whatvever you put through it, sometimes it only works with that particular sound. The ones that sound great with every sound are the ones to save in a folder. then you can select the different patches when you have a sound that needs fucking up to see which one works the best. Also get yourself a good library of quality drum hits to select save trawling through loads of shit ones to find 'the one'.

How does the TAL Bitcrusher compare to the standard Logic one in terms of quality?

EDIT: Erm, strange question considering it lowers the quality of a sound haha, but I mean... How well it does that lol

How would i do this channel part in ableton. Would i use sends and returns for the effects? im a bit lost

I guess I'm confused as to why one doesn't just layer effects in one audio channel? is this so you can layer two or three bass lines on top of eachother with different effects and then mix them all out to anothrr audio channel which you then use as your new patch?

It's for fattening it up. You can make fat bass sounds using only one channel, that's just another way to do it.
Layering is a different process. You have to layer sounds that don't hit the same frequencies.

Hi im new to this forum and have only been producing for a few months and so far this site has been really help full. I only work with logic so any chance of explaining how i can get this effect in pro 9? im also having the same problem that using the bitcrusher that comes with logic im getting a high pitch ring that it really hard to remove with taking away alot from the sound, any tips? any help greatly appreciated !!
