How To Make A Dubstep Beat. In this tutorial, I will show you how to make a Dubstep beat in FL Studio or how I created one. Now, to be honest, Im not an expert in this genre. In fact, the example beat youre about to hear is my first ever Dubstep beat. I managed to put it together by listening some commercial Dubstep tracks on Beatport and made notes what are some of the most essential elements in this genre and based on that created my own. Heres the beat audio http howtomakeelectronicmusic. Dubstep Beat Example. Xosc Vst Plugin' title='3Xosc Vst Plugin' />Ok. For a Dubstep beat, youll need to create a syncopated drum rhythm using punchy kick, punchy snare with a touch of reverb big snare is important in good Dubstep beat, plus some hihats and a modulating wobble bassline with wall shaking sub bass tones. In my example beat, I used some really cool third party plugins all free Glitch by Illformed, CMT Bitrcusher, Rough Rider by Audio Damage and Le. Le. Pou. Also, I didnt create my own drum samples. Instead, I used a commercial sample pack for that Deadmau. XFER. Alright, lets get this thing rollin Choosing The Drum Samples. Xosc Vst Plugin' title='3Xosc Vst Plugin' />Ill start a new FL Studio project and set the project tempo to 1. Dubstep, tempo is usually around 1. Next, Ill pick the drum samples. First, the kick Ive found that a kick drum with a power and punch in around the 1. Tutoriel dbutant, regroupant de nombreux tutos vidos et autres trouvs sur le web. In this tutorial, I will show you how to make a Dubstep beat in FL Studio or how I created one. Now, to be honest, Im not an expert in this genre. Hz area and not too long sub tail works well in Dubstep. I mean, those 8. 08 style low hip hop boom kicks doesnt seem to work very well and theres most likely going to be some mixing issues as the 5. Hz and below area will just get too crowded as the bassline is going to be ruling that frequency range. The kick really needs to be punchy, short, sharp and hard hitting. Punch is the key. I couldve also created my own kick drum by using layering check out my tutorial on how to layer a kick drum or search more on Youtube, but Im happy with the samples I found in that Deadmau. Ok. After finding a nice kick sample, I drop it to an empty Sampler Channel and rename it to kick and also Im gonna use colors to keep things organized that is done by right clicking on the Channel in the Step Sequencer and selecting Rename color from the menu Next, the snare. Right kind of snare is very important for a hard hitting Dubstep beat. It needs to be punchy mostly in the 1. Hz area. A hip hop hand claps and I mean those sloppy ones or short and too dry snares wont work as good. A6Uo6LwXO0o/WT9SvmD6dDI/AAAAAAAAAwQ/gobW7iG1Z60pFQbMV7m7WTuV4f9gMHTLwCK4B/s640/sonic-anomaly-transpire.jpg' alt='3Xosc Vst Plugin' title='3Xosc Vst Plugin' />I found a nice snare from the Deadmau. XFER pack. I couldve used layering with the snare as well layering two or three snare samples together and mixing in some claps too and boosting slightly the 1. Hz area a bit with a peaking filter with narrow bandwidth wouldve most likely given me a punchy snare sample Im after for. Moving on. Ill drop my chosen snare sample to an empty Sampler Channel, rename it to snare and use the same color as with the kick. Next, I need a closed hi hat sample. FL Studio anciennement connu sous FruityLoops est un logiciel de cration et de composition de musique lectronique cr par la firme belge ImageLine. A standard short closed hi hat will do fine. I picked mine from the BHK Essentials Vol 3 sample pack btw, that is an awesome sample pack for Drum Bass as well. And finally, the open hihat ride cymbal works well too. Im relying on the Deadmau. XFER sample collection again and dropping the sample to an empty Sampler Channel and renamingcoloring it. Few words about choosing the drum samples Usually, when I start building a beat, I firstly throw in a basic set of samples, build a basic, rough drum sequence and press play. Then, while the beat is playing, I start replacing the samples Im not happy with on the fly. Sometimes I end up replacing all the samples I originally choosed for. The thing is, there needs to be a some kind of drum sequence playing to be able to hear whether the samples work together or not. Of course, any sample can be made to work together via proper tweaking tuning, EQing, compression, etc, but Ive found its much much easier and faster to have a rather large collection of samples, cycle through them and use replacing to find a working combination. Filemaker Pro 4.1 For Mac here. Or Im just lazy. Anyway, this was the method I used to find the samples Im using in this tutorial. Alright. Now, I assign each sample to a free mixer track. Heres a tip how you can assign them all at once in the Step Sequencer, right click on each Channel Selector so that its green. Open the Mixer and right click on a Insert Track and choose Link Selected Channels Starting From This Track or press SHIFTCTRLL and the Sampler Channels will be automatically assigned to Mixer Tracks starting from your chosen track. Now Ill start building the drum beat Creating A Syncopated Drum Beat. Ill add a new pattern to the Playlist, Rename it to drums and open the Step Sequencer, place a kick on steps 1 7, snare to step 9, closed hi hats to steps 1 5, 7 1. I think this is one of the most basic drum patterns in Dubstep Now, the volume levels between the sounds arent in balance so a little tweaking needs to be done Kick will be left to 0. B. That is what I usually do with a kick. Then I mix everything else so that they support the kick and not compete with it. Snare volume needs to be dropped slightly, to 0. B to be specific, and boost the 8k. Hz range by 2. 8d. B using the channel EQ to add some sparkle. Closed hi hats will be set to 6. B I also panned it 1. Open hi hat works with 1. B volume settings I panned it to 1. Ok. This is how the beat sounds audio http howtomakeelectronicmusic. First Drum Pattern. Cool. Now, while the snare sounds ok, it could be better so Ill drop Rough Rider to its effect slot for some quite extreme compression. Heres the settings I used Ratio to 5. Attack to 1. 0. Release to 2. Sensitivity to 4. BMakeup to 2. 9d. B. This kind of compression shapes the character of the snare quite a lot. It boosts the volume of the quieter release part the tail a lot making it sound fuller, bigger and sort of like pressurized if you know what I mean. Compare the difference. First the snare without compression audio http howtomakeelectronicmusic. Snare No Compression. And with compression audio http howtomakeelectronicmusic. Snare With Compression. Im also going to use reverb to make it sound even bigger. So, I drop Fruity Reeverb 2 to the snare Mixer track effect slot and move it up so that it comes BEFORE the compression in the effect chain as I want the compression to affect to the reverb signal as well. Heres the settings I used in Fruity Reeverb 2 Decay 0. Damping OFFSize 8. Diffusion 1. 00. High cut 1. Hz. Low cut 9. 10. Hz. Stereo separation 2. Early reflection level 0. Wet level 1. 0Listen the results audio http howtomakeelectronicmusic. Snare With Reverb. And heres the whole beat audio http howtomakeelectronicmusic. Drum Pattern Ready. Next, I will add a little variation to the drum beat so I go to the Playlist and copy paste the drum pattern few times over making it 4 bar loop and make each copied drum pattern clips unique right click on the top left corner of the clip and select Make unique Then I modify the drum sequences on each copied pattern audio http howtomakeelectronicmusic. Drums Four Bars. Sweet, but I want more variation. I copy this 4 bar loop and paste it. Now I have an 8 bar loop. Ill add some variation to the last two patterns of the beat bars 7 8 first, making them unique of courseThis is how the whole beat sounds audio http howtomakeelectronicmusic.
