Hi im from the UK. Enjoy making music and would like to further my production knowledge.

Have a special fondness of dubstep and dirt but with some music also...also a sucka for a vocal.

Used all the main DAWs but have finally settled on Ableton this year, awesome. All my sounds are VST's and i mostly programme all drums.

Here to help and be helpped ;-)

Hi Everybody!

First post!

My name is Greg and I live in Oregon, U.S.A. I've been a serious musician for over 15 years, playing guitar/drums/bass in metal bands since I was a teenager. I've been serious into recording/engineering since I was about 16. I've always had a casual fondness for electronic music but never fully got into it until I discovered Chasing Shadows a year or two ago. Recently I've been starting to feel disenchanted with metal and rock music in general lately, because it feels like there are too many "rules" that can get in the way of just having fun and playing what you love. Writing and recording original music has always been my main passion, and I've come to a point where I just want to have fun writing again, without the bureaucracy of bandmates who can't agree on anything, and producers/labels who want you to play stuff that will "sell".

While I'm a complete noob when it comes to dubstep and electronic music in general, I do have years of experience recording real drums (though I no longer own any) and guitars/bass/vocals. I'm here to learn, but hopefully I have some knowledge that might be of use to others here as well.

Thanks!

Hey guys,

I got into dubstep a fair while back and have been following the underground scene for quite a while now! been consistently digging artists such as: Akira, Vylex, AD, Subfiltronik, Bukez, Martz, Suplex, Jam PRD, Spastix, TMP, T.A.R, Styn, Skeng, Knife, Vermin, LV, Flexa and loads more!

Got lots of time for those guys, its artists like them who got me into step and now have inspired me to have a go at producing! I'm learning everything myself, and thats why I'm here! Made a few tracks and got the feel for production, and thats why I figured now was a good time to sign up to DSF, so I could improve on what I already have! Fantastic forums though helped me out a lot!

Cheers!

Newcomer to the forum and newer to dubstep

Post by New2Dub » Sat Oct 20, 2012 3:15 am

So, i'm a newcomer to the forum, and newer to the sounds of dubstep. so please take it easy on me. i have spent the better part of an hour searching on this forum for a place to ask a question i had, and have yet been able to find the right place. so as a newcomer i am hoping someone can point me in the right direction, i recently moved from Florida to Montana, i got into dubstep a lot in FL and there were plenty of places to go to listen to new sounds. but now i am in montana and am clueless, i cant really ask in the events topics as my question will not meet the format. in the Q&A all i saw was some posts from producers and stuff but not really an appropriate place post. so i would like to know. i want to post a questions "where can i find dubpstep events in montana?" where would the appropriate place to post it? thanks to all,

@New2Dub you can check the Events section of the forum - http://www.dubstepforum.com/viewforum.php?f=40

I'm in Idaho and the closest any dubstep shows come to where I'm at is in Salt Lake City, Bozeman and maybe Missoula or Billings.

ReDead here, 17 years old been messing around for a couple years never really did anything other than a few stupid beats for friends to freestyle on. Actually starting to get a bit more serious with it, see what I can do. I don't favor any genre, I like jungle, drum and bass, dubstep, hardcore, trance, house, etc.

I was permitted to hear an incredible music ... i heard the gestation of the new world... the sound of stars grinding and chafing , of fountains clotted with blazing gems... music is planetary fire, an irreducible which is all sufficient it is the slate-writing of the gods.

Hi all,

looks like I'm the first newcomer who is using this thread in the last 6 years...=P I just wanted to quickly introduce myself and tell you that I am a social researcher who is writing her PhD on dubstep culture. So, I would like to invite you to a discussion about dubstep as you experience it if you are interested. If not, no worries. I'm not here to snoop around or anything. I'm trying to find fellow bass lovers who are keen to talk about what they think dubstep is all about. To tell you a bit more about me personally: My name is Laila and I am currently living in Auckland, New Zealand. I am originally from Berlin and will return there to do my field work in January 2013. I'm also gonna go to London in February 2013 to conduct participant observation and interviews. If you are interested to participate, please let me know. =)

Cheers!

Laila

This is interesting. From my experience, ever since it became mainstream in America it's gone from being chill music you smoke weed and hang out to to being the new death metal, complete with cocksucker scene kids and bros moshing and drinking.
Can't be alone in the thought that this new era of dubstep is only ushering in the new jungle scene (i hope anyway).

I hate to say it, but I think Coki and Rusko contributed the most to the American dubstep fuxplosion.

Nah, there's some good dubstep made in the States, but mainstream American music ruined and rinsed the sound. There's a Nerds commercial featuring the worst dubstep track I've ever heard.

...and became popular due to demand largely from the American market. No one's trying to place 100% of the blame on America, but don't act like you guys had nothing to do with it.
