Dubstep, anyone? - General - Facepunch Forum

Does anyone here listen to dubstep? I am obsessed with it - and create mixes. Dubstep is an electronic genre closely related to drum n' bass. If features slow hip-hop style beats without lyrics and instead with a gritty/wobbly bass. I got into it after listening to tonnes of drum n' bass and never stopped since. [b]Here is a mix I made and uploaded to youtube:[/b] Pt1 [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qH8-9utKjL8[/media] Pt2 [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DriTqvNC8LU&feature=related[/media] Happy Listening :)

Dupstep is nice. I wonder, is there any dubstep with lyrics? Maybe it isn't dubstep anymore then.

[QUOTE=Patjo_sweden;19327406]Dupstep is nice. I wonder, is there any dubstep with lyrics? Maybe it isn't dubstep anymore then.[/QUOTE] there is a quite a few dubstep track's with vocals in them, though most tracks tend to be just instrumentals because it's all about the bass hohoho

Erm some grime songs use dubstep

[QUOTE=Patjo_sweden;19327406]Dupstep is nice. I wonder, is there any dubstep with lyrics? Maybe it isn't dubstep anymore then.[/QUOTE] First song in my mix.

Those aren't really lyrics... [editline]02:16PM[/editline] Also: I love dubstep, recently discovered another person. Mt Eden. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uASt9QtAiGM[/media] [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CQxZKaVxfZw[/media]

Some Dubstep is nice. I like Skream.

dubstep is pretty cool sometimes. it's just really really really easy to make

Could you list the songs that are in your mix?

I'd like to find some new artists, I can only find a few. Nero for example.

Stenchman is good [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gzqWgGIWPvg[/media]

Talking about dupstep, this made me laugh. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F7xhsCzttGc[/media]

Dubstep is very pschedelic/mindfuck music for me ;). Quite like it.

May i recommend Reso. Some filthy tracks from him like Beasts in the Basement (below) [url]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vg9wQ0WBBSo[/url]

Mt. Eden is great they were even on hollyoaks the other day, they're not even signed on they got on a show as popular as hollyoaks.

This is some awesome shit. Any more recommendations? This is the kind of nitty gritty bass I've been looking for... [editline]08:21PM[/editline] [QUOTE=Van Gogh;19358483]dubstep is pretty cool sometimes. it's just really really really easy to make[/QUOTE] Show me how to make some?

[QUOTE=:-);19449233]Show me how to make some?[/QUOTE] The hardest part is making the "wub" sounds, and there are many tutorials on youtube (and other places) on how to make it with programs like Ableton (that's the main tutorial I remember seeing).

[QUOTE=mynames2long;19358686]Could you list the songs that are in your mix?[/QUOTE] Tried looking in the video description? But meh- Hide and Seek (Enigma Remix) Doctor P - Rasputin's Gold Datsik - Gizmo Vaski - Zombie Apocalypse Bionic Commando (Rusko Remix) Emalkay - When I Look At You Edit, here are my top fav tracks (That are not in the mix) Excision & Datisik - Ruffneck Remix (Filthier than giving a handjob to a chainsaw while giving a blowjob to a leafblower..) [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OtfjijsZznc[/media] KOAN Sound - Jump Suit Adventures [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fZfu44ext6M[/media] Dayn & Daladubz - FOG (More dubcore but still sick) [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zkwPAZMiR3g[/media] Rusko - Hammertime (pretty popular tune overall) [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vr21MblV0Bw[/media] Kromestar - Bodycount (old skool chilled dub =D) [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5vWMeHtLqmg[/media] listen to all - those tracks pretty much sum up dubstep for me :)

Also all those youtube tutorials are going to give you pretty shit wobbles. Here's a dubstep tune I started working on and haven't finished yet because I'm busy with work, pretend it's my credentials: [url]http://www.creattivox.com/greem.mp3[/url]

I mainly do dnb, haven't even actually finished a dubstep tune yet haha, haven't had as much time to do music stuff lately as I would like.

[QUOTE=KmartSqrl;19468557]I mainly do dnb, haven't even actually finished a dubstep tune yet haha, haven't had as much time to do music stuff lately as I would like.[/QUOTE] DnB is good too, I mainly listen to jump up - but down for anything really.. (even some darkstep >=D)

[url]http://www.creattivox.com/teeth.mp3[/url] That's the newest track I've been working on. Still not 100% satisfied with it yet.

Nice one - awesome bass, but the constant drum loops dont fit in with the rest of the song (it's a good idea to throw in some variation instead of having the same pattern over the whole course of the song) [editline]07:45PM[/editline] [QUOTE=:-);19449233]HOYL FUCK.

Yeah drum edits are the main part I haven't done yet haha

[URL=http://filesmelt.com/dl/dubstep.mp3]linkie[/URL][/QUOTE] This is really leading more towards hip-hop (unless that's what you were trying to accomplish) - the use of claps instead of snares is generally avoided in the world of dubstep - here we like punchy snares. - the bass has too wide of a sound spectrum (i.e. it includes the highs and the middles) - most dubstep tunes have a bass sound set to one area in the spectrum (easily corrected by using a parametric EQ though) - the bass is punchy (not common in dubstep) - the bass is interrupted by other random shit going on in the background (well at least the random shit wobbles >=D) Improvements to make: - replace the clap with a layered (2-3 samples) snare - remove at least half of those kicks - boost the kick at bass frequencies - boost the snare midrange - get rid of that bass, replace with a nice rough saw/sin wave mix (or just find some samples) - remove all the shit going on in the foreground. - optional: slow it down a wee bit Otherwise it would make a sweet video game track, but that's about it.

I'll make a revised version right now.
