First of all i am kind of a newb to dubstep i started about a month ago...
i am getting pretty good but am missing a few key elements i was hopeing
somone could help! I run fl studios and massive, nexus etc... the main issue
i am having is the "punching, Pulling and Twisting" bass that you hear in
so many dubstep songs i.e 1:27 - 1:42 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2cXDgFwE13g&ob=av2e
and any other random advice i am trying to figure out how to make them...

Bro.

Thread is hella ca$h.

huh?

Take a look at the How To Sound Like Skrillex & Make Skrillex Bass thread.

thank you i was looking at that but its difficult because
i use a different program than him so its hard to translate to mine.

if you use fl studio
amd dont mind helping me out
a lil please send me a pm i really
love dubstep just lack in the musical
background so lil things missing

The videos in that thread are for Massive. You use Massive as per your OP. They should be fairly easy to follow.

oh okay i was just a lil confused because i dont have all
the plugins hes using so im not quite sure how to do what hes
doing lol im not bad at builds melodies and beats but there
are certain elements of my drop/bass line just.. missing.

Bass between 1:27 and 1:42? What? Is that what qualifies as bass these days?

no im looking to find out how to make specific basses i really like.
there are 3 specific basses he does i really like would like to figure
it out and change it make it my own

You mean the midrange synth leads?

its possible.. i am talking about the
punching bass, the winding down kinda twisting bass
yeah like the ones that hit really hard is that what their called?

Watch all the videos in that Skrillex thread, they should give you a good starting point of techniques to try.

whats a midrange synth lead?

Midrange - range of frequencies generally found between the highs and the lows
Synth - electronic synthesiser
Lead - that bit of the tune you'll hum when trying to describe it to a friend

oooo ok.. see heres my issue.. i have a song
the bassline isnt bad but you know when there is
some really grungy bass drops there are certain
basses you hear in all dubstep a very hard hitting
bass its so difficult to describe thats why i used the song

basically my drop is either boring..
or its messy

My advice is: If you have no musical talent you can't make music...

So give up, please.
