Dubstepforum.com

I've watched countless videos but I have been trying to find a site that also goes into detail on techniques and everything through reading and all. Any good sites out there to read and study more or maybe a site that covers music in detail through videos as well?
Anything helps. Thanks guys!

PS. Advanced tutorials and reading is preferred.

You know Ravenspiral? If not, google it

read some of the computer music or music tech magazine man there some preety good tutorials you can get them free in pdf format if you search the web a bit,

By study music do you mean the production or the note choices?
If you want to study production aspects just listen to songs and take notes of every single thing you can think of. By production I am referring to arrangement, when certain elements are taking out and in, morphing of sounds, what repeats when etc.

For note choice and theory and anything in the lines of that I say take theory classes. It seems that you have a pretty good understanding, but you don't have to start at level 1 theory. If you don't like that idea you can find countless theory books as well.

From what i've found, advanced stuff is rare. If you're looking for someone who can teach you how to make a noisia bass, think again. A music production place like point blank could give you a good foundation, but you'd still need to find your own sound.

Best thing to do is just keep practising, watching tutorials, learning synths etc. You'll get better and better.

Oh I'm already aware of that. And ill have to check out point blank. I've been saving up for dubspot. I know my way around synths and stuff, it just feels like I'm missing something.

lol yeah I know how to arrange and fading in and out on time and breaks in between basslines to make glass shattering drops but is there any where you've seen that teaches arrangement for the genre? Or just in general. Cause I know for a fact a lot of dubstep strays from normal song structure. At least mine does thats for sure. Not noticeably unless you count beats. Kind of like skrillex's first of the year. After the drop it goes 8 beats then goes to 9 beats but what sounds like the melody that is apart of the same bar is actually the start of the next one. Which is crazy I dont know how that goes unoticed but it does and sounds fucking sweet.

I've been at this for awhile I just want to step my game up a notch. My weaknesses are Texture/Effects design. Groove. Bassline arrangement.<----I can make interesting basslines but I'm trying to go for that WUB WUB WUB WUB PEW PEW PEW PEW type feel like different sounds clashing with eachother in one bassline.

Thanks!

Get into a bookstore, Barnes & Noble if you have one there.

There will not always be something covering your specific needs that day, but keep coming back. Believe me, the technical information I learned in a bookstore its WAY more professional, authentic and up-to-date than forums (although i’ve learned a plethora on forums too).

If you mean music as in music theory, try reading up on the circle of fifths.

Stumble trough the forum and soundcloud, look up new producers and help them out. Listen to there track, comment on it and give tips and how to improve there sound.

While you are doing that, you will look friendly to the community, listen to a lot of tracks so you will always learn something from it, and sometimes it can give you inspiration for a new song. And an other plus is that people on soundcloud also will check out your stuff, comment on it. So you get to know better also

Its a win-win situation!

Thank you guys! Wow the circle of fifths is kind of a doosy. Going to take awhile to figure it out. I'm guessing some sort of music theory would help lol. Yea I'm trying to attend dubspot. Orr attend fullsail for production. In the meantime was looking for something close to an alternative. A higher education than youtube lol yea know?

google the overtone series.

my dorm room and Harmony and Voice Leading (4th Edition) by Edward Aldwell and Carl Schachter is pretty good
