The "high" noises in dubstep..

Post by Benedict » Thu Jan 17, 2013 7:42 pm

Whaddup Wider Community, I'm requesting advice from the Dubstep Geniuses..

I'm new to making dubstep but within the last month, I've gone from merely foolish around with sample packs, to...

1. learning how to program generic wobble basses in Sugar Bytes Cyclop
2. discovering from the Going Quantum podcast that dubstep doesn't use wobble basses any more
3. dismissing Sugar Bytes Cyclop and wobble basses
4. learning how to program respectably amateurish growly, vowely reese basses in NI Massive using wavetable and phase modulation

Next, I'm hoping someone can point me in the right direction regarding the shorter, zappier, screechier noises which are often used to such great affect to punctuate the deeper, bassier noises.
(I don't know what this kind of sound is refered to as, so I hope these morkish adjectives describe it well enough)
Although these kinds of sounds are probably just versions of the same growly bass pitched up a bit, I can't make them sound right.

Any advice would be appreciated :?

Google or YouTube Skrillex/Knife Party/xKore Lasers.

A lot of people call them lasers/lazers or screeches.

If you have Massive the easiest way is to map an envelope to the pitch of an Oscilator with a value of +12.00 and then just play with the envelope settings till it "blips" how you like it.

Do you like music?

If so, why don't you just let the music come naturally?

Lol guys he's asking a simple honest question. He wants to know how to make lazers, how harmful is that of a question.

OP just go to Youtube and search Lazers + (whichever interface you're using ie: Massive)

Apparently I'm living under a rock, too.

I'm embarrassed. I'm soo far behind the times.

You're a genius! The Laserbass instrument in Reaktor 5 is like an Aladdin's cave of those kinds of sounds
