This is why you stress test your build once you build it. If you get BSODs then something is wrong and you go sort it out. It should be part of your building process imo especially if you're doing any tweaks such as overclocking Yep! There's lots of tools available out there to do the job. If you a...

Blue screens are usually a hardware configuration error. Well when your maxing CPU usage to high, that your CPU can't handle it, it goes into a bitch fit and BSOD's :lol: Definitely a hardware issue. If things are working fine your CPU should not be causing BSODs just because it's being maxed out. ...

Wheeee, free plugins ftw

When making electronic music the CPU usage goes up fast. If I'm doing more of a rock / metal tune not as much since I'm tracking more of the instruments.

Oh, the bass growl sounds good, no doubt about that. It just doesn't fit the 'context'.

Haven't tried Boogex for a guitar amp sim. Got any sound clips? I've used AcmeBarGig's headcase suite which is pretty awesome (pre-purchased it a long time ago when it was still shred 2.0). Although, after getting my pod hd pro I haven't had much use for amp sims. Can't spare any of that precious CPU!

Gotta crawl before you can walk or run.

@SMOR3S: https://soundcloud.com/smor3s/dubstep-with-derpy I like the idea of the track. But, I don't think the bass growl fits. It sounds really badass, but I don't think it works well with how the track started off. Cool ideas in the track, though. Been rearranging a lot of stuff in my house so I ...

@ParaTroxic: https://soundcloud.com/paratroxic/mr-reggae-man-preview Sounds good! Need to change it up a little bit though since it gets a bit repetative. It'll be interesting to hear in a full song! @Boman: https://soundcloud.com/dsfasfgaweasfasffgag/wont-be-lkong I like this so far. The synths sou...

Just noticed this thread. I'm 27 years old. Run my own business, but music is my main passion :D Mostly been hanging around the production forum just trying to learn about different aspects of production. I listen to a wide variety of music with metal and electronica (industrial, psytrance, dubstep,...

I do both. I use samples when I'm not sure what kind of element I want to add to a certain part of a song. So i'll just listen to random things and throw them and see what happens. Sometimes the sample will need tons of mashing up to make it fit, other times just a slight EQ or a tiny bit of distort...

@RARRR_: http://soundcloud.com/djrarrr/hater-hop This sounds pretty good so far. But there's not really enough yet to really critique too much, haha! Post up some more soon. @Living_Tragedy: https://soundcloud.com/official-silver/dubstep-wip Sounds pretty good! Did a good job on the mix so far I thi...

@RARRR_ thanks for listening! :) Yeah, Infected Mushroom is definitely one of my inspirations for going this direction with my music. But, I'm trying to find my own sound / style. So, I'm actually glad that it's not exactly what you expect :) What parts sound like trap? I'm not one of those guys tha...

I use ATH-M50S right now. II like them so far ! Can't argue with the price point.

@mthrfnk http://soundcloud.com/spectrafunk/find-your-way-wip-ideas good tune! i'm really enjoying it! listened to the updated version. really great song! @almostskate100: http://soundcloud.com/unimode/flow-right-through I like what you have going so far. needs a sick mellow bassline to carry it or s...

Thanks for taking the time to listen :D @axxessdenied: Intro is quite cool - I like the guitars although they seem a little muddy, maybe try scooping some mids out and adding more high end distortion. As for the kick, it sounds a little too boomy at the start, but definitely hits hard enough - maybe...

Never stop learning!

I don't know if it's been mentioned already. But, you can search any specific site with google very easily right from the google search bar. Just type in your search term and then add site:dubstepforum.com or site:whateverdomain.com. It will only return results from that site.

Some people are just absolute monsters when it comes to mixing and mastering and have an amazing ear. Others need to work hard at it, study hard, practice hard!

Thanks! That's awesome!
