How does it compare to other daws?

you can make dubstep with any program

its hard to compare daws really, you are best just doing the research yourself with demos and videos. because obviously the reason dude is going to say reason, and the fl dude say fl and i will say...

...get ableton

Watch videos of DAWs on youtube and decide what works out for you best. Download demos and try them out too.

Jason

Reason..... haha jokes.

Yhe mate juss get demos, go to a friends house who already has a DAW and try producing on his system, etc. In the end it comes down to personal preference, I've tried switching over to Ableton but the VST's eat my CPU alive.

ableton is straight garbage.

inudge is superior.

big up ableton, it's the tits

nuff said, check it out and you'll see what i mean, just bring some good VSTs to the party

FL - a modern tracking app that can run many plugins very well, very easy to use and make beats
Reason - no chance of being distracted by endless plugins because its all internal
Ableton - modern daw designed with electronic musicians in mind for a very good workflow and easy recording
other daws - probably shit innit

yeah ... i dont really have a problem with glitching myself,i use a laptop with ASIO if i get overruns i just boost the samples until its clean again, and i only have 1.5ghz/1gb or something

oh big up these guys too https://www.dubspot.com/ they're ableton and dubstep checkem out on youtube if you give it a go

Ah cheers guys, just deciding between reason and ableton :S

bear in mind im a noob

you get "virtual wires" with reason.

i'm just playing....


i'd suggest you go for anything other than reason....

fuck with the demos

Reason is the past dood. Don't even fuck around with it. Ableton or Fl Studio or Cubase. Werd.

ableton ableton ableton, and i use cubase! Ive used both and Its MORE intuitive for a beginner (and reason will stop you in your tracks after about 6 months) i think

Ah wicked. Anybody know a source of good ableton tutorials (dubstep themed)
Dubspot only has a few :S
thanks!

all im saying is that if you learn how to make sounds, making a dubstep sound will not be an issue

if someone tells you how to make dubstep sounds specifically, you will get frustrated in other areas and start looking for help there in tiny batches

how do i make pads, how do i make ____

just learn the basics first and you will figure out the rest i promise!

Drop a sine wave into simpler. Twiddle knobs. That's all you need to know.
