Re: Basslines too weak

Just through a compressor on the bus, set the ratio to 1:10 and pull the threshold down to -48 dbs.

Works every time.

Repeat 5 more times for extra punch
Thanks for putting me in your sig :D I have to admit, I don't have too much music theory knowledge.

And thanks for the all the other ...

Basslines too weak

Hi,

When I do a bassline It's typically all there, drums, bass and midrange. And yet it still sounds like a lot is missing. It often sounds powerless and feels slow and kind of boring compared to professional tracks.
I often find myself turning my tracks up to 180+ bpm to make it seem more ...

Re: How to Become a SoundCloud Superstar, For real.

I got almost no comments/followers on my own soundcloud. On my label's uploads of the same tracks I got hundreds of plays on the other hand. Don't know how to get them on my own soundcloud.

Re: Improving Workflow & Ethic?

I have put out 3 EPs already and I can barely listen to any of them because I find mistakes all over the tracks, but that's how it is if you get better at it I guess. If I would work on every track until I'm 100% satisfied I would have almost no output at all. So it's sometimes better to call ...

"Brostep" Sub-bass

I'm talking about the real low basses around 0-300hz. As far as I know there are 3 possible ways to do this:

1 - Lowcut on the higher frequency basses + sine wave
2 - Lowcut on the higher frequency basses + 808 Kick
3 - Don't lowcut on the higher frequency basses

What's the best way to do it?
I ...

Commercial sample CDs

Hi,

Assuming you want to make the typical Beatport-Top10 DnB/Dubstep-Drums... I know there is a lot of layering involved but can anybody recommend some good commercial sample CDs as a start?

Collaboration

Hi,

Maybe some producer here is interested in making one or more tunes together or just learning new stuff from each other?
Considering the best case you should...
- be making dancefloor oriented tunes, no skrillex or too poppy-stuff but definitely 'filthy'.
- be at least on the same production ...

Cyren, I will personally pay you to change that logo.
What's wrong with it? I'm not doing deep dubstep, so i think it kinda suits my music style. Got a better one?

Mix Volume Chart

Hi,

I found a chart some time ago on the internet that showed on which volume level every element of the mix (hihtat, leads, bass etc.) should be. Somebody still got it, or maybe something simmilar?

Arranging Dubstep

Any tips for arranging Dubstep? How do you work? How about differences arranging filth/brostep, deep dubstep or dubstep with vocals?
Let me know how you do it!
