also, is there an ideal compression ratio for them wobbles??
only in utopia, and that's an understatement...

keep your sub and the wobble seperated. Subs do not wobble, IMHO

I do even HiPassing on my subs :wink:

set the LFO-phase to 1, if possible

I use only hardware, so don't know about softshit. But phase or lfo-start is the key.

Sometimes it is called 'LFO key on reset', 'LFO trig' or 'keysync'


You can also use lfo fade in, to hide the wobble on the first 8th
good luck

really, dubstep is not different from any kind of music, if we're talking about pure reproduction of sound on a large soundsystem. EQ's are just used to filter out the room frequencies that are resonating. These freqs make it too busy and loud, in a negative way...

So you play a very VERY well ...

There is no such thing as 'best setting'!

It depends on the room. Delete standing waves and dirt freqs.
I'd like to cut rather than boost.

Maybe the best answer, to gain succes, is to ask a pro...

Virus B is good for wobbles. Yes, you can use it as a synth for trance, like any synth. But saying that a virus B is for trance is pretty ignorant, IMHO. The first thing to do is learn to program sounds and delete the presets from every synth you buy.

Anyway, I made very good wobble basses with ...

If you love your ears/hearing (and you do!), and are becoming a pro, go to a good shop and let them produce personal earplugs. This is way better than standard plugs, because you don't feel them, once plugged in!

It's worth the investment (80-120 pounds, I guess) and you have to do this once in ...

don't forget

when sampling from vinyl you are messing with analog vs digital domain. Like apples vs bananas. Digital is much louder. Personally, I record vinyl peaking at -6 dBFS, while 0dB on de analog mixer. But is still sounding quiet. In Europe somebody set a standard: -12dBFS = 0 dB VU, if I ...
