to all you dubstep producers!

[Sirius]

all i used to do when i started was learn how the synths worked & tweak them to fukry. then i would layer them up & get some nice sounding shit. i have always had dramas with drum programming. My music has come along alot in the last 6 moths since i made the switch to logic! @ course i am starting to produce on pro tools, get alot of organic shit going on. i have never tried to sound like someone else & all my shit is OG as! like ODB.... there is no father to my style! CHEA

Meh, its something what just comes to you one day, just keep writing and slowly you'll get your own sound and your own workflow.

Without sounding arrogant, I don't think ive made track what isn't banging for about 6 months.. But thats obviously subjective!

my bass sounds had been eq'd to remove bass frequencies, i'd cut out the mid sections in my snares I'd bump up the high end on a kick

Not that there is anything wrong with doing any of these.

I don't think I'm a good producer yet, but I remember feeling exactly as you did when I started OP. I actually made a thread kinda in the same vein as yours when I started on these forums.

I think as long as you keep reading threads on here, and experiment and watch youtube tutorials and read everything you can get your hands on you'll improve. It can feel pretty hopeless but if you put the work in you'll get rewarded. My style mightn't be what everyone likes but i'm making music I want to hear and it's mostly thanks to this forum's help in directing me and pointing me in the right direction.

I used to get torn apart in the feedback threads for my tracks, I did everything wrong, my bass sounds had been eq'd to remove bass frequencies, i'd cut out the mid sections in my snares I'd bump up the high end on a kick. But with each track I put up I learned something because of the great and honest crit I'd get on them, and now I don't make any of the mistakes I used to. Each time I put up a track the number of criticisms with regards to the production value went down, because with each track I learned something.

Make threads, ask questions, join in discussions, start talking one on one with guys on this forum (nobody will mind, everyone's friendly), put your tracks up for feedback and one day it will just click.

If I'm honest I still don't really understand a lot of what I do but I can make the sounds I want in my head now because I've learned by trial and error what works and what doesn't when trying to make certain sounds.

It eventually comes naturally, because all the reading and learning and the trial and error eventually embeds itself in your head.

yeah bigup mste loving the tune in your sig i told tripwire that lastnight :D:D




Yeah thanks guys for all your tips n support might sound a bit like im a fruitcake but its nice to like know ur not just some retarded person who cant make music n that people do remember being where me and im sure alot of other people are haha obviously i dont wanna ask too many questions coz i think its orite trying to find the answers yourself but when i get stuck and cant find anything anywhere i will big up you lot bless!
