SKRILLEX UPSTROKE DUB/SKA GUITAR SOUND?

[lewislewislewis]

Hi,

Im quite new to dubstep production, however am working on a track and was wondering if anyone could give me tips/show me a tutorial for making the upstroke dub guitar sound that skrillex uses at the start of equinox - http://youtu.be/TYYyMu3pzL4

I have heard it in a few other tracks by other artists, i have MASSIVE, so could use that to achieve the sound,

Thanks for any help, like i said im VERY new to this

you're kind of answering your own question.
why not find a dub/ska guitar sample and go from there?
If its a real guitar sound you're after then you should look towards Kontakt, not Massive.

piano b2b high passed stacked saws pluck with a bit of white noise for the high end. Then bandpass, saturate a bit and delay -> reverb.

I'm about to blow your mind little dude.

Record a guitar stab, and then stick it between your kick and snare.

Seriously. This can be accomplished in 30 seconds. There's a 90% chance it will sound better than any attempt at synthesizing the sound. Sometimes you just can't beat the real thing.

I have a feeling you people aren't dancehall fans.

Not particularly no, but at the end of the day if you want a sample of an upstroke of a guitar chord, I think the most logical thing to do is record it on a guitar.

If you want a real recorded guitar i can easily record it for you (free). Just tell me the chords you want me to play and the tempo. Let me know.

This will blow your minds: they're not skanked guitar chords.

It's a violin that plays the staccato notes with a piano underneath.

I debated recording it myself, however thought it may be else like the last post states 'violin with piano underneath'

Cheers though i will try both techniques and see which sounds best

All I read was how do I synthesize an upbeat skank guitar. Guess I shoulda listened to the track haha. Haven't heard it in a long time.
On another note, the stems for make it bun dem had a little guitar chord track in there come to think of it. If you want that gtr sound for something. Just throwin that out there

I have a feeling the kid can't do it because he's too lazy.
