I am kinda new in the world of producing Dubstep, and I have made some attempts at dubstep and posted them on
my Myspace: http://www.myspace.com/dread1994

I was wondering... Is there any way to make filthy sounds of Cookie Monsta, Suspect, Rusko, etc. on Garageband? and if so, How?

adobe flash is down so I can't check the myspace.

I've only used garageband a few times but it wasn't for me AT ALL. i'm not gonna slate it though.

and to be honest I doubt you're gonna find more than one other head tops on here who uses garage band.

alright, thanks for commenting. I was just curious if anyone did know of anything.
Any software I should check to make filthy dubstep sounds? :)

To be fair, it's a lot better than what i expected from a Garageband track.

What bass are you using? I'm sure in GB you're able to add all the typical effects used in basslines (Bitcrusher/Filters etc) to help you on your way. I'd advise saving up and buying Logic if you're serious about this though (Express is around £130 last time i looked?)

Step 1. Learn basic synthesis.
Step 2. Practise and experiment.
Step 3. Repeat Step 2.

Thanks :)

I basically mess with the settings of the analog mono synth, and i use automatic filter to achieve the wobble.
Thanks for the suggestion, I will definitely look into Logic.

is ableton good for making dubstep? I always hear about it being great for djs performing live, but i haven't heard much it being used to produce much.

yo.... try demos of the following

logic
ableton
digital performer
cubase
reaper

basically if there's a mac version demo that shit. you'll figure out relatively quickly what suits you the best.

one person can't tell you which one is the best...experiences, yes....but that's all

This.

You can use AUs on Garageband though.
