Here is my newest dubstep track, Conduit Matrix:




Enjoy!

Yes, this time it's REAL dubstep, unlike my other dub songs. Rokoshu, here's where you come in.

Woah, man. I don't like this kind of music, especially THAT kind of dirtiness.

However, I bet it was good! >_<

Well we all have our preferences... So... I take it you didn't listen to it?

I did listen to the first minute. Then I got a headache.

I swear though, I am sure that other people would love that song. I actually listened to Tech's Tetris and it was really good! You should make the improved version that you promised...

@Mato - Yes.

@Ian - The new project crashed a while ago. I'll have to start over...

nice work techy, do you use samples/loops? or is that wobble bass a midi synth with a nicely modulated LFO?

No midi. I created those wobble sounds from scratch using a VST external plugin. Then, I copied it a few times. On each channel, I set the LFO Speed to a different rate.

ah nicely done, I love recording loads of different LFO rates on top of each other, the harmonious rhythms never let you down

Yep. Never gets old. I learned that doing it like this is a bit more efficient than automating it, as you can't sync it through automation; it's custom.

Also automating the LFO rate can take some time, I find using different synths with a set rate can also give the song more variety, as having the same sound with different speed wobbles can get repetitive. Good starting point for producing dubstep though.

Lucky for me, the plugin I used for the wobblying had built in LFO Rates. For example, I could set it to 1/16, 1/8, 3/32, etc., instead of trying to find the exact right speed using a single knob.

In the song, I used... I think 3 different synths for the wobbles. The one at the start, then the more bassy-type wobble, and finally the heavy, dirty synth.

Next dubstep song I plan to add more rhythm to the wobblying.

Yeah my plug in also gives me the same option, very useful indeed!
In one of my dubstep songs, i thought i would be original and include polyrhythms to the various LFO's, leaving me with a wobble bass in 5/4 and another in 4/4 then another in 12/8. This technique can sound technical and beautiful, however its safe to say it didnt sound great in my production haha. I advise you try it, its an educational and fun technique to use, if you pull it off it could sound siick.
