it sounds really fucking good! But don't forget to put a few powerfull drops in there, any good dub step has drops

original dubstep wasnt about drops, but i definitly prefer nice drops in mine too! =D

well, i like drops, if done right, makes the spine shiver that much more

this^

Definitely working on one! Still a long way to go on this track

Breakin mah fuckin jawbomeo

tytyty

keep on truckin

love where that is going :D

Thanks :3 that's reassuring!!

Love it so far. If I could nitpick a little, I think the bass could use a little more oomph, but either way, you've got my attention~ ;3

Yeah, I agree - I'll try to fix it up more!

haha xD now THIS is my kinda dubstep lol

It's a trick that they carried over from DnB where you lace the LFO bass with a sine wave to give it more, well, bass. The LFO/Wobble is actually more midtone range where the sine takes care of the sublevels. Sounds very cool, bro! :)

Hmmm...I'll see what happens
Thanks for the tip :)

http://www.youtube.com/user/dodgean...../1/Hhvw5OopK-s I think this is the right video, it's Dodge and Fuski explaining this in three full Massive layers instead of doing it the old DNB way; it's gotten kind of complicated haha.

I swear your music is boss! Keep pumping em out :D

I love that hoovery melody, reminds me of nu-style gabba melodies e.e

I'd suggest some M/S compression on it to bring out the sounds on the stereo channels a bit more so it fills it out, but I say that about everyone's music haha.

It'll give the illusion of oomph on the bass, since the actual bass is ok

The intro is a bit loud too, maybe -3db that shit down so the drop hits harder?

actually the bass could be a bit higher, yeah u.u

Oh shit, I just saw these comments I didnt think you used FA anymore haha
Dude I blow at sidechain/compression whatever how do you do it teach me :C

oaaahhhh yeah I came back, recently. I like, sperged out on learning mixing and mastering and stuff.

If you use Ableton to make your dubstep, you absolutely have to learn how to sidechain the subbass channel using the kick.

I usually have the SIDECHAIN input as the kick @ -12DB provided the kick peaks at ~9DB, and the EQ input at the absolute peak frequency of the kick @ 12Q which is the most acute and highest Q it allows using the Ableton Compressor.

I then set the Ableton Compressor's threshold to whatever will make the subbass's gain reduce by about 3DB or whatever keeps it all clean.

The settings should be FF1, and the attack at the lowest setting, and the release about 55ms or however long you think the attack of the kick is.

Maybe do the same with the normal bass / wobble /whatever channel's sidechain compressor at 0DB and the Q at .75 or something with less extreme settings or even not use it at all if there's no interference.

That'll make the kick come in clean over the subbass and not interfere. You can make something similar to this in FL Studio with the peak tool and an equalizer from what I've gathered but I haven't used it in a while to know that. I just know it's possible e.e

M/S compression is essentially sidechaining the sides to the mid, but it's a bit more complicated than that and you can find tuts on like, youtube for that hahaha.

Nup I use FL Studio fuccccccccc

well shit

Actually, Sidechaining is totally a thing in FL. Being a Ableton user, I have no idea how you do it, but still, THE TRUTH IS OUT THERE!

Also, nice track!

I'd also like to say thank you, ScreamFox, for being so thoughtful to all the people commenting on your video by thanking them for liking your song.
It shows that you care, which is way more appreciation than a number of suspect FA artist care to show.

^-^


Also, if you're having trouble with leads/sounds, I'd recommend throwing a limiter on your master bus/track/whatever it's called in FL, and experiment with maxing out volumes, sounds, etc. It's a cheap and somewhat unprofessional trick, but gives some nice results.

Also Kihu told me about how my leadups are louder than my drops on another track and i dont know what to do about it shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii

In gabber and hardcore techno in general, there's a trick we do that for the lead tracks like synths, drums, or anything at all that gets pushed down or back in the mix when the drop hits and during the loudest and bassiest sections, we just decrease the volume of it by 3DB and hard compress it all just for the breaks, such as the intro, breakdown(s), and outro. That way everything keeps even throughout the entire song, but it only works on music that is very heavily compressed.

You can't really tell the difference if you do it right! You want the quiet parts' peaks like the intro and breakdowns and outro to be at LEAST 3db LESS than the bassy parts, you should be able to tell by looking at the waveform that it's quieter during these parts, too.
