I learned from DubSpot's YouTube channel and various videos on how to use Sytrus and now learning Massive. But I didn't start out in Dubstep.

Anyone have any ideas? I'm using Logic Pro and I have Massive, FM8, and Absynth. I prefer to use the ES2 though, as i actually have some skill with it (unlike the other 3.)
Just be like 3 Saws, 1 of them an octave down, do a very subtle, but fast, LFO on the pitch, detune the higher 2 saws apart a bit, and there ya go. Tweak as needed.

I don`t mean to pick here ChadDub but you can`t link words together with commas and think it`s a sentence.
It just isn`t.

Sounds like a squeeky Dutch house synth. High pitched saw with lots of pitch bending.

FM8. Get it in the higher octaves and play with the envelopes while modulating sine or saw waves and you'll get something similar rather fast.

He's also got control of the pitch with an envelope.

I made a Sytrus preset and processed it and got pretty close. The last part of this soundcloud thingy is my remake of the intro of Scary Monsters.

SKRILLEX IS THAT YOU!?!?!?

Haha, on a serious note, there was a thread on here about the Skrillex snare. The samples in that thread were almost dead on.
