DnB is a good example, most tunes have that same drum lick with the usual rhythm, then theres a catchy bassline with a completely different rhythm on top and often the melody will have a dif rhythm too....Sounds messy and uninspired...
Old skool Jungle used to have one solid rhythm, same as most Dubstep, getting that down is vital

PS sorry about YET ANOTHER DnB comparison

great comment...

as far as song structure goes listen to your favorite songs of all time ...doesn't matter if its Jungle Dubstep E-40 or Britny Spears.
Count out the beats to the build up, to the breakdowns, count the beats the choras, bridge, hook, whatever you can Identify with. You will most likely start to see patterns of 8 bars or 16 sometimes 12. Try to model some of your tracks after these same patterns

the great thing about dubstep is the boundarys are much wider so nobodys going to say " hey you really wrote that wrong " BUT

My favorite Dub tracks use a minimal amount of elements that are spaced out perfectly...almost like you know whats comming before you hear it.

yea, this tune i'm working on will most likey not be a roller. If I make a more dubby tunes then yea i'd want it 2 b a roller but I think i'm gunna keep i gangsta i'd break in the middle of the tune.

ps, on the e40 thing... that shit would be so hot!!! "suga suga, that's mah sistahhhhh... sprinkle me. sprinkle me..."

Ableton is wicked dont be listenin to tha haters! Its the most intuitive and adaptable piece of software out there. It gets dissed cos people think its just a DJ tool or "loop" software but that is crank!!! It can do all any decent sequencer can do eg:logic, cubase etc. but it also allows you to perform jam your music live. So when it comes to you logic fans doin a live set what yis gonna do??? (probobly buy ableton i'm guessin!) I think logic is a great production sequencer and its got good instruments but do not diss ableton because you are uneducated in its abilities! And if you actually are educated in its abilities explain your dissin instead of puttin people off great packages cos your genital warts are itchy r whateva!
