i wonder each time i check out new releases i hear exactly the same bass sound on every record.
that is why i don´t buy any of them it is just too boring.
could some of the so called heads tell me why?

Oh wow.

These threads just keep popping up don't they ?

Exactly the same bass sound ? I wonder.

To answer your question, perhaps it has to do with the fact that quite a few producers have the same modus operandi in the studio ?

And... emulation is not specific to dubstep. Look at the history of hip-hop, reggae, drum and bass, etc.

In before : if you don't like it, don't listen to it mate

And : don't start a thread like this for something you don't like

B2B : you have to hear them on a big rig mate.

don´t get me wrong
i like dub and i also like dubstep
i also like to mix it and play it out but whenever i check out the new vinyl releases on juno about 90 percent of that stuff is just crap!
all the same bass sound - it seems like the producers are using the same presets and plug ins.

and don´t tell me that it needs a big sound system - a shit bass is a still a shit bass sound!

there are two very easy ways round the problem

1) do something (relatively) novel and only play out tunes that you think are worth being played out.

2) start producing your own thing.

yes there's an awful lot of repetition in dubstep and an awful lot of nonsense, but if you look hard enough there are some truly beautiful songs out there to find.

have a listen to pangaea's 'memories' for starters.

yeh, and whilst we're at it...northern soul uses too many trumpets and xylophones all the time, rock uses too many bigg muffs. Blues...too much use of the pentatonic scale. roots dub...too much use of high pass guitars and delay. f*ck em!

I bet this guy thinks that the cream of dubstep is what is in the top 10 of beatport or trackitdown.....

Do some fucking research, if you don't like it what you hear find stuff you do like, there's plenty of alternative stuff out there!

what do you mean: where is the right place to buy dubstep on vinyl without having to sort out all those crap?

lets say: what if not juno?

you could go backwards and check out older releases...

check out gravious, geiom, boxcutter, luke envoy, mala, digital mystikz, forsaken, kulture, matty g, loefah, vaccine, elemental, reso, pinch, darkstar as well as i'm pretty sure those guys don't just use all the same bass sounds
