Right guys, I'm new to the site but I'm not new to dubstep. Been listening and involved about a year now. But I'm new to the whole producing thing.
I've been composing music since I was about 11, but can't seem to throw together a dubstep track. For my final GCSE Special Event composition I wanted to create a dubstep track. I've been trying and trying and just cant seem to nail it.
Any help, guides, advice would be extremely appreciated!
Cheers, Crash.

The whole lot really. Cant seem to get the drum beat right, cant get a bass line that works or fx for that matter. I have idea's in my head, just can't seem to produce them on the pc.

The Dubstep, or the flaming...I'm taking a wild guess it's the dubstep.

i have been playing guitar in bands for years but started making electronic stuff about three months ago.
my advice is to read as much as you can because producing is a lot more complex than i imagined.
my other advice would be to make sure you spend enough time getting the drums right before adding other tracks. Start with a simple beat, leave lots of space. Reverse cymbals sound good imo.
That should get you 10% there

Just a quick question then mate, what do you use to create your drum track?
And if it's on cubase, dont suppose I could cheat and ask you if you could throw a pre-made one my way, just to help me on my way. 'Coz it now turns out my teacher wants to see this tomorrow...
