Nah, he is just trying way to hard to be cool man.

trolling is contageous...

its like zombie virus..

if u see someone doing it, even if he/she is ur homie, back off... its too late..

nah but seriously its all luv

If I did have $500 dollars I probably would spend it on these "tutorials". I bought a subscription to sonicacademy once too... what a joke that was.

sonicacadem sucks dolphin gonads imo. that is why i didnt buy a subscription.

dubspot however doesnt suck like that.. ive found some pretty useful tips + they actually explain what they're doing... and use the daw supplied stuff instead of some shady third party app (however i do love sylenth)

i do not own live so it wouldnt be the greatest thing for me to subscribe to that... but they already give away plenty of stuff for free.. u cant spit on that.. i only use it to get better at live for when im at my friends house... but i still feel like they're being nice to me

isnt a point blank class 500 bucks too?

I just contradicted myself. What a coincidence.

Thanks everyone for your feedback! Got some great ideas already from you...

[2]DAY_- -- mastering, yes, awesome. We'll be working on that soon. We offer a mixing and mastering course here in NYC too (I'm actually taking it next week myself!)

palo56 -- song structure/arrangement - awesome, yes. We'll work on that and also for each genre (dubstep, techno, house, etc...)

VirtualMark -- definitely - we're always keeping up with different synthesis techniques. If you have Ableton, I would check out our "Dubstep Wobble Bass Part 2" video. I myself use Operator and have found you can get all types of sounds from it, from Caspa-sounding to that Chasing Shadow style you're looking for (it sounds like Chasing Shadow seems to use a combination of chorus and reverb with an FM synth.)

There's also our part 1 wobble bass video that works with samples. I use this all the time and really love it - I still use it for sub bass.

Hope that helps in the meantime, and we'll continue to post new synthesis videos as new sounds develop.

upstateface -- on it! We have a 3 part side chain compression youtube series you might want to check out. I got a lot of use out of it, and started noticing the technique in a ton of tracks, including West Coast beat producers (Nosaj Thing, Flying Lotus, etc.) Using side chain compression subtly has also helped me clean up the mix of my tracks, so my bass kicks hit hard without interfering with the bass (really important for dubstep.)

Sharmaji -- big up! haha

mks - thanks! And yeah, Kiva rules.

P.S. We just posted a "Follow-Action" tutorial video yesterday. This is an awesome technique used by West Coast beatmakers to make automated, randomized moments that still follow a groove. I started messing with this technique myself haha

I liked the logic bass tutorial that is older, even though I don't use logic, I take the general principles and apply them to my situation.

Hey everybody,

We just posted a new video on the Dubspot blog. It's an Ableton Live Tutorial on how to make Dubstep Talking Wobble Bass w/ Operator. This style of Talking Wobble Bass can be heard in current Doctor P, Rusko, and Excision tracks, as well tunes from other upcoming producers. Mike Hatsis, aka !banginclude develops the sound using a blend of Ableton's Operator and Ableton's Redux filter. The Downsample filter on the Redux plugin adjusts the "speech" aspect of the effect, and Operator's Frequency, LFO, and Coarse filters change the tuning of the synth. Check out the video below and see for yourself...

For more information, check out our blog post about it:

Any questions? Let us know.

Also it'd be great to hear any tracks any of you make with this technique. Feel free to post them on here, on our blog or as a YouTube video reply!
