theres alot of newcomers on here looking for advice on how to go about making dubstep. i think wobble is the best possible place to start (next to a basic beat obviously). like the reece bass in dnb, the deep heavy wobble is something thats really helped shape and define the scene. i personaly love the wobble bass, but the beauty of this genre is that it will never just be all about the wobble as so many people are taking influence from so many other scenes, which i think keeps things fresh

i can see why it does a few peoples heads in though, might have something to do with over enthused noobs posting up endless wobble tracks long before they have really learned the skills to make it work lol. but even so, in a way thats still a good thing, as the chances are people will tell you what your doing wrong

Ha, classic.

Seriously though, for me, wobble is still massive if its used in the right way.

I think its more to do with people who are more involved in the scene becoming bored with the sound and looking for different ways to produce dubstep. When I started to get into dubstep I thought the wobble bass was the be all and end all of a track.I'd say wobble bass has just become a convention of dubstep and some people are getting a bit picky.

Personally I love a nice dark wobble GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR

Keeping the DJ in mind, there aren't much you can do with wobbles cept load up the next one...or occasionally find two that drop together..which still can sound sort of funny IMO. I don't mind them, I play some of them. Personal preference is the slow wobs used sporadically. But I don't frown on them either. Past experiences in other music scenes tell me that when everyone starts hating on one kind of sound/sample/instrument that dominates a genre it for some strange reason A: doubles the amount of use of said sound/sample/instrument by people making the music, B: make people push said sound/sample/instrument to it's utter limits, whilst ignoring all of the other elements or noises that could be utilized, C: when some body simply does use a different noise, they are credited with creating a new type of sound all together, D: creates a whole lot of retarded arguments on the internet.

You guys ever heard "Top Shottas" by The Antiserum??
It's got some hard smashy overdriven bass hits, some pitch shifted/gated high end bass dives, and some wobbly wobbly.
They all come in and out calling and answering each other.
To make a long story short....if your creative you can use the wobble in your songs.

Just don't make the song around your wobble!!!

Rusko takes wobble to new level. I admit wobble can get boring but it can also be unique and new.
Kromestar's Surgery is a good example. As is his track Teleport.
Too many reason wobbles and presets out there. Never mind them!
