Hi guys.

I'm a bedroom producer from New Zealand, starting from when I first picked up FL Studio in 2010. Heck, it seems like a lot more than that, I'm pretty much a n00b, really. I just post my stuff to Newgrounds.com audio portal, but I feel that it's limiting me in some way because people there don't seem to appreciate the deep kind of dubstep I enjoy. Some of my favourite current artists include: James Blake, SBTRKT, Burial, Jamie XX, Shlohmo, Four Tet, Flying Lotus, Aphex Twin etc. Also Thom Yorke. Other artists I enjoy are

I also like hip-hop, soul, jazz, funk, disco, and french house. I like vocoded vocals (when used in taste), and cheesy synths that rise to a crescendo of great heights (see Todd Terje's latest EP), deep reverberations, minimalist fare, and soulful vocals (a.k.a people that sound like the old soul singers). I also enjoy bleeps and bloops and un-quantized drum beats (see James Blake's "Unluck").

If I were to create the music I liked, it would be me on a keyboard-slash-piano, creating amazing sounds on stage with/without a band (electronic probably). I want to make beats that people listen to in the rain on their way to work, or on their way to school, or sitting down in their room. But most of all, I want to make songs that resonate with me and how God has made me. I like to think that I'm a deep person, but there are probably plenty of people deeper than me. And does that make you a happier person? I don't know.

Anyway, things are getting depressing real quick (I hate that word), so I'll just talk more about myself. I'm 20 years old and studying to be a computer programmer to provide a stable job so I can focus on my music. Don't get me wrong, I love programming (it's my second passion), but I also want to make music for the world. I hope to fuse the two professions together by programming me my own synths, but one dreams :mrgreen:

Thank you for reading my very long autobiography and hope we get to meet real soon. Let's be friends. :corndance:

Hey guys :D

I'm just a student that wanted to find a place on the big ol' interwebz where he could discuss dubstep and other related things with like-minded people. I discovered Dubstep two October's ago through a CoD montage intro. I started researching and browsing the genre, and quickly fell in love. I went from a person that listened to angsty rock/alternative to a full-fledged EDM-aholic. Since then, my iPhone's just been chuck full of Dubstep, Drum and Bass, Drumstep, Electro House, all that good stuff!

I really look forward to spending time on this site. I'd love to get some song recommendations from you guys, and hell, maybe just get to know you guys as people. School isn't exactly looking up for me anyway, so who knows? Perhaps I'll try and make it big in the dubstep scene, and this seems like as good a place as any to get some feedback on tracks I make (mind you, I'm currently attempting to make my very first track, so it's guaranteed it won't be groundbreaking stuff :( )

Anyways, I'm glad to be here!

Hello everyone,

I'm new here (obviously), and i'm just looking for a friendly forum to read and post things, including my own works (i only have two at the moment). I've been into production (not electronic) for about 4 years now, released albums here and there (metal), and i just started making electronic music this year. I'm also not that well versed with dubstep artists and stuff, i only know/listen to a few, since in my childhood i was more versed with trance, hence the reason why i actually started my project.

So yeah, hi!

(I don't think this is the proper place for posting stuff either, so i won't).

Hey, been here for a while, but never introduced myself.. Hoping to get some feedback on my tunes, and find some people to chat with about dubstep/brostep to find some more producers I may never have heard of.
I don't know many people who are truly into dubstep, so I hope I can get some good feedback here, everyone else I know can only tell me "yes, I like it" or "no, I don't like that"
Which is fine and all, but I'd like to know what is bad about it, or even good about it when they like it really. Only been in electronic music for a year and a half at the most..
Been doing dub for about half a year, or maybe 3/4, but just now getting to where I think the music sounds right. Anyways, if anyone wants to chat or listen to my tracks, or show off some tracks add me on MSN at 420rangeraqua@live.com

Hey i'm brand new here, I have been teaching myself how to use fl studio, massive, and fm8 for the past month or so (so small task). I joined this site so I could ask questions on how certain things are done and also So that I could get some feedback on tunes that I create. I have a few questions right off the bat, first, I have a tune I want to upload on here but Idk how to do that lol. I have exported it into an mp3 file from fl studio onto my desktop but I cant find and attachment buttons on this site lol. And my second question is, when using massive, I often find that I want to use multiple sound settings between different channels. what i have been doing is opening a new massive channel each time I want to change the sound, so i end up with 5-6 different massive channels. Is there away around this? or any way to apply changes to the massive settings to only one channel? help with both of these would be amazing!

Answer to your first question: upload it to soundcloud and post it on here
Answer to your second question : frequency splitting if the wavetables are hitting different frequencies, routing to separate filters if they aren't

im the new guy that asked the question in the first place. iv thought of automation but disregarded it because im talking about using one massive channel for multiple completely different sounds. not just using an automation clip to vary the speed or intensity of the sound. say if i made a good bass line with massive....and i wanted to move on to a synth....using massive.....would i have to open another massive channel or can i do something to make it so that changing the settings of my original massive channel only applies to one pattern? hopefully that explains it better lol. plus here is my first track iv released. iv been playin with fl and massive for about a month and this is the first things iv actually pursued long enough to make it more than a minuet long lol. tell me how its going so far, its still a work in progress

Hold on, so you're saying you want to make multiple synths using the same module rather than making new modules? Why? I'm a Reason user so I don't fully understand how FL and Massive work, but that just seems like it'd limit your mixing and processing options. Just have different instances of Massive running through different channels, there's no harm in it unless you're really, really OCD
