Ok so I'm pretty new to the art of producing Dubstep.
I use Reason 4.0 and I pretty much have real problems making raw, filthy sounds.
Used to make bassline but it all sounds pretty much the same nowadays,
So I got completely bored of it.
But I could make ANY sound I've heard in bassline tracks.
But Dubstep basses are a different matter.
Whats going on?? :(

It's more to do with sound engineering than producing.
Besides I'm not the worst producer I'll upload something to prove it in just a second :twisted:

Infact..
That helped me to a massive degree I've just created a pretty gritty bass.
I'll be happy to share it so look for it in the main thread of patches :)

Its all about the sweet spot on the NOTCH filter layered with some low pass filter.. Instant BIGG BASS...

Lol thanks ;)
I think I'll have to get a Myspace music profile up soon
Any ideas on a name, production wise?
I kinda like Elmo but it's taken by some grime producer :roll:

To get a full and broad sound you need to make sure there are plenty of oscillators all different octaves and waveforms, but all doing the same thing.

Typically I use sawtooth, square and sine waves.. these get you the nice gritty bass (obviously after you add distortion, FX processing, etc)
