hey i've been trying to make the deep dungeon vibe dubstep for some time also am looking for some production tips on it but can't find any

i just want to know how you make the basslines and is there a delay on them?

also how to make the bass echo? is that lots of reverb ?

everytime i try to do these it all sounds wrong to me..

so if you have any tip on dungeon vibe basslines and the atmosphere from it.

anyway thanks.

You don`t reverb or delay your basslines, never.
It will just become muddy and nasty.

Reverb and delay the occasional hat to create space.
Highlight your percussion.
Create deep sweeping pads.
Learn how to manipulate growls and create your own.
Create space and allow elements to use the space created.

I disagree. Reverb sounds very good on a lot of bass sounds.
I wouldn't recommend adding reverb to a sub cause that will get messy.

Good little thing I do is create a master reverb send with one preset and send lots of different things to it. Creates a great atmosphere within the track better than using lots of different reverbs

Yeh that was my point Reamz.

Ah seen. I thought by basslines you mean't mids. My bad

I tend to categorize anything more than a sub to be mid more than bassline.
I guess it`s my own description really.

You wont find many tips tbh. It's about vibe and groove. Work on synthesis i'd say and make your own sounds. That said there's a lot of long attack low passed synths consisting of sines and saws for harmonics going on. Your drums and percussion really need to stand out as well. Automating auxillery sends on hats and percussion is the key.

Imho, its just like producing any other form of dubstep, except there are elements which are more important than brostep, sub and percussion for example. Work on your sound design, if you want I can give you a couple directions in massive. About reverb and delay, always use reverb and delay through a bus if your gonna be using them on basses and the like, that way you can highpass/lowpass before your reverb and eq it accordingly, just make sure its 100% wet on the send. Hope that helps

This. and you can delay / reverberate your basses, just make sure you split then in at least two frequency bands, one with the lows that will stay mono and untouched, one with everything else that will be sent through a reverb.

This.
or the lazy approach is just putting an EQ or a filter in your reverb channel and cutting out low frequencies.

i prefer "efficient" over "lazy" thanks
