rules to dnb? no rules to dubstep? wtf are you talking about?

i think there's much of different rules and no-rules in music making. you're quite right about the creativity, but i think it's quite stupid to try express yourself with no proper techniques in production or general know-how-stuff.

oi mate you didn't say this loudly enough:

what you on about. you can have no rules but still have techniques.

If you come at dubstep with a totaly open mind and just lay beats down coz if feels good not coz its such n such a bpm and the beats are this far apart n shit.

look, if the dnb scene didnt move into this whole rules or set procedure...it wouldnt be as fuckin boring as is it today.

intro -> buildups -> breakdown -> drumroll -> BANG BANG BANG -> change at 32 bars ->breakdown -> drumroll -> *silence* -> BANG BANG BANG.

bigups to people like breakage, bizzy b, equinox, chris inp, senses, andyskopes, fracture n neptune, alpha omega, seba, paradox, macc, 0=0, dissedent, fanu, too many names to mention

No rules, no boundaries.

edit heads inside!

do whatever you want, don't limit your music because people say it's not dubstep.

i describe this exact thing as: the overproduced, pastuerized-out-of-sustenance,
mindless and endless pursuit of... PAVLONIAN RESPONSE.

i have largely stopped paying attention to larger-name drum + bass releases,
because for the longest time, like pavlov's dog, i would hear the bell but be presented with no food.
sitting there salivating waiting for something that wasn't coming any time soon.

and then there was dubstep.

BOOM.

i really dont follow any rules of dubstep at all apart from tempo

indeed. ain't no use if it can't be mixed into a set : can only do so much with +/- 8%.

unless your name is something like Eight Frozen Modules.
then you can do pretty much whatever the bloody hell you want.

Free up the dubstep, death to formulas. Seriously, make your own definitions.

here here old bwoy

if it slow and jus a bi't wobblee n ye cannut quite figger out the tempo usin bog standard headbop but ye find yeself in a bit of a swagger and de reverb havin ya lost in de ocean... THEN IT'S DUBSTEP.

rekall just summed up my thoughts on dubstep perfectly.

As for the tempo, I posted a 105 BPM track ( http://dubstepforum.com/viewtopic.php?t=2228 ) and no one thought it was too slow, so I'd say there's good room for experimenting. Of course, if you're producing for the dancefloor it makes good sense to keep it within ±8 % of everything else…

either that, or have a long-enough percussionless intro + outro (pads pads ambience pads) and keep the overall length shorter so it can be dropped into a set all on its lonesome but without causing a major drop in pace.

and i repeat - unless your name is Eight Frozen Modules,
then none of these rules apply to you.

plus, there's a lot of snares of different famous dubstep tunes that don't match when mixed together.

Said all...
