I agree Rob Swire is skilled but he's really producing this for his wallet it sticks out like a sore thumb - I guess what's sad is unlike Mala, Goldie, Roni Size etc. he will never go down as like a genres pioneer because he hasn't grown. I see knife party as a huge step back for him - I was never a...

Hoping it's at home waiting for me

To add before anyone sez it - i'm trying to imitate him I merely want to grasp an understanding of his techniques to merge with my own

Thanks for the replies so far - really helpful
anyone know how he keeps it all so clean cut esp that sine?

Cheers man ...

Hello, I'm writing to ask if these kinds of shitty drops concern people for the genre? And what peoples' views for the direction of dubstep as a genre, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U18gtNpUOMA (skip to about 2.50 ... wait for drop) ... probs heard this one http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Edv8Onsrg...

Based on the fact that it's the one that got the ball rolling for most, despite this being nowhere near my favourite at all...

Hey, I'm having huge issue with my mixing and mastering I've gotten my track structurally and like tune wise to a good level. However actually getting it to a high quality without clipping and loud is nearing impossible. Now I use Logic Pro 9 and I've been down the limiting your ass off road before ...
