What do you mean you used sends to make the mid growl? How would you go about that...?
I used logic's test oscillator set it to around 40-50 hz so had a nice warn sine wave sub.Sent this to a bus then added bitcrusher just to create overtones then logic's auto filter for some band pass growl nonsense.Sounds quality.I also sent the bus output to another buss that i added guitar rig too,added more overtones to thicken the sound up a bit then mixed the levels to taste.Very simple yet sounds fucking heavy.

yeah, i used to do some of my midrange synths in a similar manner... was just distortion plus reverb tho... it can get you a pretty nice sound

It is a really good technique,not only does the sub sound absolutely booming when you do pitch edits if effects the mid pitch too obviously.It is a quality effect that i think people should try,takes mins to set up and no fanny assing around with any synths.

Yeah I added you to this week. Just send me a private message with the soundcloud link whenever and I'll put it up Friday.

We're trying to add vocals of some sort for this weeks "theme"

Hey. Can you add me in the "roster" for next week? I would love to try this out. I might even give it a go this week and finish a song in a couple days! But I will next week for sure!

hey OP can the next week be hip hop style? I want to have a go at making a hip hop beat/hip hop influenced track, but I really only have time for one track a week, if that.

Only if others are interested, but would a lot of people be interested in a hip hop style track??? That'd be cool

surely you could produce any style or genre
why limit yourself to dubstep?
levitation, vocals, etc. all can be in a hip hop vein.

Probably won't be able to finish up a tune for this week, just a heads up. Loved your guys' tunes for week 1 though, killer! Can't wait to see what you guys have ready for this week. :D

....did I ever say I was going to limit myself to dubstep?
I think you misinterpreted my post, I was asking to do a hip hop sort of thing next week, NOT dubstep. :?

Oh I gotcha, fair enough, I was just wondering if others were interested so we could make it universal and everyone would do something like that, not that it matters hugely

I think Im over analyzing. I like the ideas, I just feel like it needs SOMETHING else.
