I've been making dubstep for 4 days now, (switching from classical techno) and I will say that you guys are insanely better than me, but ehhh what the heck.

4 Days, 4 tracks, if you continue like this, you will be damn good in a few months

so lets see, you got the basics, your drumbeats are surprisingly good for only 4 days of training!

Try to experiment with your sound, what suits your style and what doesn't.
the wobs are solid, but have a kinda "presetish" charakter.
Thats totally fine for 4 days of work, try adding effects like waveshaper, overdrive, and whatever you want to create your unique sound.
Maybe you can also add some musical content from your former style, to give your music more identity =)

Hope that was helpful, keep up the good work!

You don't even know how much that means dude.
Like seriously.
Haha, I know my wubs are pressetish, the first three were made with sytrus,
The fourth I actually fully made in massive, and I'm starting to get the hang of making my own sounds, hopefully that was apparent, I was also told I should practice sampling, so I just made a whole song messin around

Nice man, just keep practicing, thats the most important thing ^^
What i forgot yesterday: your drums need a lot more punch, they are also not loud enough, the drums schould always have the highest peak.
Also try layering the drums, especially for kickdrums and snares.

That basically means if you want to have a nice and punchy snare, get a nice snare sample and layer it with a clap and maybe with a little bit of white noise.
This makes your drumsounds more intens, they will cut through the mix muxh better.
Also instead of sidechain or heavy compression, try Equalizing to avoid that different instruments clash.
For example the main punch of a snare drum lies around 250 Hz. you wanna turn this section lightly down on your wubs, so they dont cover your snare.

PS: whats this intro sample of the third track? I mean the guy talking about darkness n stuff

Yea I know what you mean about the drums, I actually have been working on fixing that now. And it was a sermon by my pastor.

Your getting better and better much to fast

The only good advice i can give you by now: DON'T STOP, your new track brought it to a whole new level.

Did it really? ^.^ I really wanted to "Integrate some content from my older style" while also heavying up the drums and making unique basslines that are not so presettish

what DAW do you use?

Posted: **Thu Jan 05, 2012 4:38 pm**

Massive sytrus and 3x0sc (:

Sounds pretty good to me! Just try adding some build ups into your tracks and then it will sound like a full dubstep track to me. Also make sure the drop brings in new elements to the track.
