id like to know how to make good sounds for dubstep as well.
in particular i want to know how to make those "industrial" sounds(they sound like industrial equipment to me), such as:

Quick drum synthesis guide:
Simple kick drum: Sine wave, with a quick downpitching envelope in the start. Amp envelope with immediate attack and short decay. Then make another sound, No attack, VERY quick decay, and the high end. Then hipass it. It will be your click. Layer it with the other sound, and you have a kick.
Hihat: Hipassed whitenoise with immediate attack and quick decay. Open hihats have longer decay.
Crash cymbal: Lowpassed white noise, experiment with cutoff, lots of resonance. Even longer decay than the openhihat. I don't really know, it's kind of a hard sound.
Snare: Lowpasssed noise and a click like the kickdrum .Compression helps loads.
Just the simplest of the simple, other than that experiment with eq and compression and shit
Synthing drums is a waste of time unless you're actually trying to get really synthetic sounding drums.
Just use and layer good samples (i.e: take the bottom end from a kick with good lows, and EQ out the highs, then take a kick with a high end that you like and EQ the lows out of it and slap it on top of the other kick)
Maybe I'll do a tutorial on drum layering too.

Yeah but making your own drum sounds is fun and can give a cool feeling to a song. And yeah, a tutorial on drum layering wouldn't hurt at all

the industrial sounds are more important to me than making drum sounds, i just thought it would be fun and increase my understanding of sound design
Alright I'm actually going to do one of these today I think. Probably going to start with another one of the thousands of dubstep wobble tutorials out there since that's something I know how to do really easily and could blab on about for hours haha.
