Less is more?...

I like you're thinking OP. I actually just visited the dubs section of the forum and (no offense) every tune sounds like the same brostep I keep hearing everywhere. What's sad is that most people define dubstep as (brostep) and that is not what the genre is. Its about the physical and mental psychology of a nice deep dub hitting your chest, drums, and maybe some light weight mid's. Although I do like the sound of some brostep, it saddens me that dubstep is now the next phaze from metal. I keep seeing all of these screamo wannabe's put out "brutal" dubstep with god-forsaken massive and it just sounds like complete bitcrushed shit.
/endrant

fuck it just roll a nice big fat one up.

It really gives me a sense of pride that even though I fall into this category, I use neither massive nor the typical bitcrushing techniques, good to remind myself I know enough about synthesis that I can achieve those sounds without 43586582437653234856834576 tutorials and a filled plugins rack.


/feeding my ego

haha mind i remind you of resampleing hahaha

Amirite?
I've never understood it tbh, I've never gotten a desirable bass sound by resampling, I can tell the difference alot of the time too and IMHO I think it sounds shite if you do it wrong, and alot of people who come here saying "AYE WUNT DATSIK SOUND" learn what resampling is and further fucker up their work because they don't understand moderation. You can achieve most bass sounds on a capable synth without any rack effects added, Goddammit.


Maybe that's just albino though, I know next to nothing about Massive,

I use Albino, because I bought it like a year or so ago and only got it for ambient stuff back then. Treated me right for everything I've done and it's my only payware VSTI that I used more than a few months after I got it.


Another thing, Really really sick of kids warezing massive before learning shit about synthesis. I've said it before, but a shiny hammer won't teach you to be a carpenter, and it sure as fuck won't make you a better one.

those tuts on the youtube just make things worse IMHO because then not only do people not know but they don't even try to find out.

This. Tuts on youtube show you how to get a sound, not how to create sounds.
all they do is say set X controller to Y and Y controller to X and theres your sound, never have i seen a good tutorial say this controller does this so you want to set it to arund Y but if you change it, it does this... etc

start on 3x OSC ftw(fl studio users ofc), i did for like a year then moved onto the more developed built in Fl synths then when i grasped slightly more than basics i bought massive.been working on massive for like 2 years, and its fucking awesome, no point jumping in to the big guns, doesn't teach you shit. but hey, whos going to stop over eager dubstep remix fanboys ?
