How can you make a filthy, dubstep bass in Garageband?

Post by dread874 » Wed Nov 11, 2009 9:54 pm

I am kinda new in the world of producing Dubstep, and I have made some attempts at dubstep and posted them on
my Myspace: http://www.myspace.com/dread1994

I was wondering... Is there any way to make filthy sounds of Cookie Monsta, Suspect, Rusko, etc. on Garageband? and if so, How?

adobe flash is down so I can't check the myspace.

I've only used garageband a few times but it wasn't for me AT ALL. i'm not gonna slate it though.

and to be honest I doubt you're gonna find more than one other head tops on here who uses garage band.

alright, thanks for commenting. I was just curious if anyone did know of anything.
Any software I should check to make filthy dubstep sounds? :)

To be fair, it's a lot better than what i expected from a Garageband track.

What bass are you using? I'm sure in GB you're able to add all the typical effects used in basslines (Bitcrusher/Filters etc) to help you on your way. I'd advise saving up and buying Logic if you're serious about this though (Express is around £130 last time i looked?)

Step 1. Learn basic synthesis.
Step 2. Practise and experiment.
Step 3. Repeat Step 2.

Thanks :)

I basically mess with the settings of the analog mono synth, and i use automatic filter to achieve the wobble.
Thanks for the suggestion, I will definitely look into Logic.

yo.... try demos of the following

logic
ableton
digital performer
cubase
reaper

basically if there's a mac version demo that shit. you'll figure out relatively quickly what suits you the best.

one person can't tell you which one is the best...experiences, yes....but that's all
