The Sound Of Dubstep

I made a short demo track giving examples of how to get some decent synth/wobble sounds suitable for dubstep.

Be sure to explore the EQ settings and the LFO, VCF patterns.

What kind of drum kit do I use if I have lite?

I like Method, which is available to lite users! Also Late Sampler, which I think is for pro only.

Important tip: use both kicks layered together on the Method kit... The snares, too! Though you can use the snappy one alone for sweet ghost notes or for a lighter section!

The default drumset is actually what i use a lot of. I like the tones.

I tend to start with something like Late Sampler, but I move to whatever sounds most appropriate once I have more of the song written. Sometimes it gets a little unexpected. I think I've even used the British kit a couple of times. The trick is just to get some layers going. You want a tight, snappy top with a fat ass.

I USE 808 THEN CLONE THE KIT & TURN THE CLONNED INTO METHOD, NICE BASS 4 DUBSTEP, ALWAYS CLONE THE KIT 2 MAKE 2 KITS, THAT'S HOW YA GET THE EAR BLEEDING BASS LOL.
