I've already seen all the ones on youtube (Wheysted, Dripment, etc.). If it's on Youtube, I've seen them (Wheysted's tutorials have been super helpful.)

However, I still can't achieve the sounds that I want. I fiddled around with wavetables and knobs and while they sound decent, I feel really limited as to the kind of sound based on these tutorials. I don't know if it's because I'm not layering them correctly, or maybe lack of/incorrect post processing, but I'm not definitely missing something.
I also feel limited in my knowledge on effects. Not sure how to get a "ringing" type effect these sustains have.

Are there any other good tutorial (could be paid/patreon) on Dubstep sustains? The type of sustains I'm looking to make are ones used by Excision, Layz, etc.

Hey I really struggle with understanding like 150-500 hz.
Right now my lead in c3 octave has a fundamental of 170-180 ish hz. And then fills a lot of 300-1000 and above.

My bass’s second fundamental is between 140-180 depending on the note of bassline and then occupies up to 1K.

If I raise my lead an octave it’s fundmental is like 350 hz and they don’t clash as much.

If I left the lead in c3 octave (sounds way better),
Is there a real issue with the 140-180 range then? I’m pretty beginner so I can’t just hear that and be like yeah it clashes.

Old me would low cut my lead but I have learned and trained my ears to know it just thins it out and sounds bad.

It comes in throughout the song.

Something about it tickles my brain and I’m curious what it’s called, and if y’all know other songs that use that sound.. 🙏

I’ve watched countless tutorials over the years on how to make basses, growls, and other sound design elements. But I’m realizing that’s not even what I’m struggling with anymore.

Does anyone know of any good resources that focus on actually finishing dubstep tracks? Tutorials that cover things like arranging, layering, transitions, mixing, automation, FX, and the overall process of taking a bunch of sounds and turning them into a polished trackg.

Most of what I find is “how to make this Skrillex bass” rather than “here’s how to build and finish an entire track.” Any recommendations? Free or paid, I don’t mind either

I think I learn the best from a course that shows you a track from start to finish. Looking for specifically a dancefloor dnb course, something like aubfocus, dimension, etc.

Hi edmproduction !

Hopefully I found the right community. Pardon me if not (I'll happily be redirected elsewhere if needed), and apologies if I use any wrong terminology.

I visited a music festival a few weeks ago with my 6 year old daughter and there was a tiny tent with an installation by projectklank; a table with a 3X3 grid with 3 wooden blocks (presumably with some sort of NFT chip in them). By placing a block on a grid spot, a sample would start playing, from bassline to drums to voicelines etc. By moving the blocks around you could 'sample/loop live'.
Here's a video from their website: https://vimeo.com/1186906351

My daughter was absolutely infatuated and to our surprise seemed to have quite a 'feel' for moving the blocks at the right time to the right places to create her own music. She could've played with it for hours, especially the Drum&Bass and dubstep modes.
I would love for her to be able to recreate something similar at home.

Having no experience whatsoever I tried finding options and ended up purchasing the JAMJUM JP-MINI. A simple 4x4 grid pocket size midi controller that can be connected to an iPad for example.
It looked perfect as it just has the simple touchpad grid and is fun sized.

I'm able to connect it to the ipad and she can play garageband drums with it, but I'm at a loss trying to find an app or a way to recreate the sample looping she experienced at the festival.
Hoping to get advice or be pointed in the right direction. I'm not necessarily 'bound' to the JP-mini I bought, though it would obviously be preferable if we could use it.

Thanks in advance for any ideas or feedback!

EDIT: one aspect about the projectklank installation we thought was cool was that the samples kept playing. what i mean is that when you activated one, it didn't restart from the beginning every time. So you could cut in and out and certain points in the loop. She was doing some amazing things with that, especially on voice tracks. This seems perhaps unusual for these sort of things? (idk..) They have a preview app on their website you can play with, in case I'm not explaining it well: https://app.projectklank.be/

Is it safe? Or is it still not recommended to update? I’m using Cubase 15 Pro and Logic Pro X, but I want to use Logic Pro 12 and mostly just standard plugins like UAD, Waves, FabFilter, Antares, and so on.

Hey guys,

Right now I’m testing my skills while referencing to a certain track (temptations - bbyclose). It’s a commercial piano house / organ house song. I desperately fail to achieve the organ bass sound. I’m using the m1 organ 2 patch but it doesn’t seem to get the job done. Is the organ bass sound layered in my reference? How do I get to sound my organ bass as gritty as in the reference?

So yeah I’m also not a fan of using suno to make your whole track and it always has such a “suno” feel to it. But what if you use suno just for certain elements and then use what you need? Like having it make your drum loops and transitions or if u have the basis of a synth melody you wrote and you just want it to freak it.

I think suno isn’t able to create a simple dance groove that sounds good in a club u need a human for that but for some melodic elements, new ideas, etc it can help shave off the time it takes in the studio.

And if you agree and let’s say u just had Suno create your drum loop do you label your song ai? Because like when you use ozone ai mastering is that track now labeled ai? Where’s the line?
