How To Make A Skrillex / Deadmau5 Style Dubstep In Ableton Live 8.1.3!

[eArtrash]

This is a decent dubstep lol

[xNinj4xHD]

Kinda sounds like someone recovering from puking. o-o

[TeckNick83]

Btw if you don't know what happens to audio when you over compress it or smash it in to a limiter with the gain on blast you just lose certain artifacts and you reduce your dynamic range. If you don't get it read up on it. Especially if your into production.

[TeckNick83]

Well hardy har har! Your defiantly doing it wrong!! Skrillex is a little screamo kid and how is that cool? I bet you they linked via Tommy and deadmau5 showed him everything he knows. But hey thumbs up for skrillex for cashing in! Deadmau5 even once comment on skrillex saying that he smashes all his audio. Which makes it pretty tasteless IMHO

[d0ntan01]

u have all those plug ins and u cant do better then that....lol

[iZK12]

Obviously you've never fucking listened to Skrillex. His music sounds great. Especially with my sub system. This shit shouldn't even be on the internet. It's a disgrace to his name.

[TeckNick83]

then again why did this tut get so much traffic unless it was valuable?

[TeckNick83]

Skrillex would never be what he is today if it was not for deadmau5. you know why because most of the initial hits where based of the mau5 posting link to skrillex stuff raving about how much he loved his music. I liked to in the beginning but now i just find it rather tasteless and bland. maybe thats why i personally suck at dubstep. hardy har har! then again maybe i dont like it at all. my passion is house it just flows better. no hate, if you like it cool. i was just trying to show you a tip 

[TheAzv3]

@TeckNick83 That is how it works dumbshit.  If 5 didn't link it, someone else would of, because it is quality work.

[razorblazer1]

beep boo boo beep

[TheManZeph]

obvoiously whatever Skrillex is doing with his music hes doing it right. unlike you where your music will end up in the trash.

[iZK12]

@TheManZeph Haha! #realtalk

[TeckNick83]

I didn't know he got that many Grammyz hmm. You know why because I was 2 bizzy making my own bomb ass music! No hate though. I get it angry little trolls need angry music just like I needed KoRn and limp bizkit at 16. I get it mannn! But skrillex still has little hairy troll feet and tinny ass troll fingers! M-audio should make him a Troll-finger for his live setup on da Mac! :p

[TeckNick83]

All I'm really saying is that skrillex is a gay lil troll and he is deadmau5 fucking bitch!

Even deadmau5 hates him but he is banking of him to reach all the lil kid trolls that wanna be just as fucking idiotic as him! If there is anyone who thinks he is the shit he or she is wrong! Any fucking retard can program syn patches and smash all audio into a brick wall limiter.

Just face it's what the "kids" trolls whatever want. Deadmau5 is to skrillex what dr dre was to eminem. Live in the truth an

[TheSungeek]

@TeckNick83 Hahahaha what a loser.They are very close friends.They prank each other often and don't hate.Get your shit straight before talking.Or even better,don't talk at all.Is that why Skrillex nabbed 3 grammy's last night?

[Teenag3r]

Skrillex uses Massive and FM8.

[TeckNick83]

This is so 2011 fuck this!

[TeckNick83]

I hope this video fucking tanks so I can be entertained!

[TeckNick83]

I BTW all in favor to take this video down say I!

[MrShimato]

did you use keyboard? if not, you will make my day.

[holbachmusic]

Fuck these haters! Your song is dope keep doing what your doing!

[Party85050]

How could you possibly ever compare this to Deadmau5 or Skrillex? xD

[ShaneYnclan]

...hey at least i got the deadmau5 mastering chain (if it's even real)

thanks!

[zombieman322]

needs work, skrillex's music flows alot better, this is just too gritty.

[fnebroswilliamsbeast]

Skrillex uses ableton live...

[wattesutube]

wtf...

[Gullmyste]

I really don't know why you would make one video based on two completely different sounds of music. Thumbs down from me i'm afraid.

[SeriousJewish]

This sound pretty good but it could have been a lot better if you did not mention Deadmau5 nor Skrilex.

[carbongraphi]

The wobbles are pretty cool. Just the whole beep boop thing I didn't really like. But, other than that it was really cool!

[IkeProductions89]

lol i spend 2 weeks on all my songs at least. 3 hours to get the basic idea down, then start from there. thanks for the deadmau5 link though...

[jchanman911]

sounds like a little kid saying boop and beep to some mallets on drugs...

[NicolasPasqualis]

w t  FFFFFFFFFFFF?

[SoundGauge]

Skrillex/deadmau5 style dubstep? Skrillex sounds NOTHING like deadmau5.....and deadmau5 has only ever released 2 dubstep tracks out of hundreds of prog/electro tracks, one of which begins AS a prog house track....

[Geordan271]

beats r messed up

[spiderduck29]

Aaaa

[troymcnod]

Skrillex has said he uses FM8 for signature bass in a computer music special this month he also uses izotope trash.

[19KingLloyd]

ofcourse this is terrible this is dubstep :)

[rabg86]

Anybody talking this down hasn't got a fucking clue. Regardless of the genre, the description, whatever WHO GIVES A F*CK. Not many of you will know your arse from your elbow when it comes to making music or programming a VST.

You've obviously put a lot of work into this tutorial thanks man. Everyone should be grateful guys like you are doing this. Keep up the good work!

[billwaddle]

>Deadmau5

>Dubstep

You are so fucking retarded it makes me get a sense of residual retardation.

[pardonMEgoodSIR]

Also, If you guys don't like skrillex or deadmau5, then watch a video with pitbull(gangsta turned RCA records' dance/pop puppet) produced by david geutta(the dude who's ruining electronic music)

[pardonMEgoodSIR]

I don't see how anybody can down talk this. It's actually very catchy and diverse. If you idiots listened beyond the sample, you would appreciate this more. People who haven't studied music theory, sound theory, synthesis or daws such as ableton(my favorite) really can't tell the difference between creative art (such as used in most electronic music) and 4 chord pop songs that have some thug shouting about how much money he has.

Keep doing what you're doing, dude. It sounds good.

[TBirdx06]

All Dubstep is terrible.

[ThOrnton42421]

Beats good man, all the guys saying it sucks dont realize how difficult it is im sure. I just got ableton about a week ago, and i have alot more respect for producers now. Keep it up man

[DORKYBA55ATTACK]

@ThOrnton42421 Yeah, dubstep is really technical. There's a lot of music theory behind it that people can't seem to appreciate.

[djjadler]

at 2:01 did you take loops from the spongebob episode where spongebob thinks mr krabs is a robot???

[macaroni262]

I can dig this! Nice work.

[romelloWilliams11]

I see deadmau5's and skrillex, but i see the sausage fattner from dada life.... shoulda made a dada,ife tut.

[TroyPassmore]

David Cross fails at Dubstep :P

[digitalbeat666]

How to make your own style?

[jackekolasnubben]

uuuh

[NaujAKAJuan]

@AeroACDCFan

Look up Raise Your Weapon and Dubstep Thingy by deadmau5.

[DJironflow]

Fucking sick! :D

but i wouldn't call it skrillex/deadmau5 like, look how all the hater and Skrillex "Fans" came and spamed the video full with bad comments! ;)

[norwedgianawesomenes]

Can you make a tutorial on that perfect kick sound? Really punchy shait right there.

[lakenear12]

Skrillex uses Ableton, Massive and FM8

[AeroAcdcFan07]

Deadmau5 is not dubstep... period

[Charmo89]

Lol, the sausage fattern by Dada Fuckin Life!

[clubincofficial]

You say aam ALOT!

[DropDead2k]

Please Make A Damn Tutorial video on how you did this. And i bought Massive before i Bought Ableton, does anyone know how i can Put Massive into Ableton? Thanks

[rounce55]

@DropDead2k in ableton preferences search for vst plugins

[lomainzz]

woops, that only took 3 hours to make?

[lomainzz]

how long did it take to make that song? it's sweet.

[theyellowairplane]

lol, yea sorry, for all the amount of sounds used in this video, and everything you know...

this sounds like sh!t...

[TeckNick83]

@theyellowairplane hmm yeah maybe i should make another 1??

[MrShimato]

@TeckNick83 you must apply to sony music or universal studio whatever. BECAUSE U ROCK!

[TeckNick83]

@MrShimato I work there how did you know you fucking troll?

[TeckNick83]

Dude Deadmau5 fucking made skrillex what he is today! Signed him and everything skrillex was a tweaked out screamo kid! Now you would take it up the butt just to be exactly like him. I'm just emulating a sound look it up! Cry me a fucking river JT! If J Bieber was the next best thing in dubstep you would probably be on his nuts 2, just sayin!!! So go suck it! All of you I could careless! I'm starting to judge your intelligence!

[byouno93]

@TeckNick83 meh to be honest with Skrillex's uniqueness he would've made it with any other label. And relax, music isn't a competition. Just do what you like.

[0Jebus0]

@TeckNick83 I have no idea how much D5 actually taught him, but yeah he did promote him and got him into the music biz for real. Skrillex' early stuff sounds mediocre so maybe there was more than just simply signing him etc.

Anyway, I'd try to use less reverb and sometimes it gets a bit messy. More stereo space could work too if you're going for the Skrillex sound. Excellent kick.

[uclalaker2009]

@TeckNick83 yo man fuck what theyre talkin about man you made the video just to show that you can make it sound like him and you accomplished that. great job!

[SaVaJeBoY]

@TeckNick83 Skrillex is extremely obvious better, he would still be just as big as he is now, which is waaay bigger than DeadMau5... i mean look at him... 5 Grammy Noms 4 TV commercials.. song for the WWE, games wats next for Skrillex?

[DORKYBA55ATTACK]

Skrillex does mostly dubstep though. Deadmau5 has a bigger variety in his sound. He has some really dubby stuff, but then he has some really Housey tunes. If you ask my opinion, Deadmau5 is much more well-rounded.

[SaVaJeBoY]

@DORKYBA55ATTACK DeadMau5 isnt dubstep at all.. the CLOSEST to it is Ghosts n stuff and Skrillex isnt MOSTLY dubstep nearly every 1 of his songs is elctro mixed with dubstep, thats y he is so famous, Datsik Excision and Rusko are strictly dubstep

[carbongraphi]

@TeckNick83 What the fuck? Judge your own intelligence first. Because that made no sense. :P

[buraiallanstarforce]

@TeckNick83 Deadmau5 made Skrillex? Nah, Skrillex made Skrillex. Don't disregard his hard work.

That's like saying, for example, that George Martin or Parlophone made the Beatles. It's just incorrect and rude.

[curtiscurt]

@buraiallanstarforce goon

[cyberslick18]

@TeckNick83 Can you say that again in english this time?

[TheNathan777xx]

@TeckNick83 take a nap bro..

[M4RkJamesMusic]

@TeckNick83 dude skrillex would be where he is today whether or not deadmau5 signed him to his label.

[NaujAKAJuan]

Skrillex/ Deadmau5 style? Their basslines dont even sound REMOTELY ALIKE. Go listen to Scatta and Raise Your Weapon and tell me that sounds the slightest bit similar!

[ZergaProductions]

sorry but this sounds nothing like skrillex

[xIFreakzZ]

what the fuck is this..?

[sykkesay]

this is so terrible.

[Alxbeginner]

I just feel like its the same sound looping over and over again? Im sry but thahts waht it hear :P

[TeckNick83]

@Alxbeginner You dude its an simple example video. I'm not gonna sit and make a whole song just to demo it on youtube. I'm not boyinaband! My heart is in all types of EDM but right now stimming has my ears so all my productions are melodic house and tech house.

[jailbreakir]

you have a lot of information, but that song wasnt a very good example

[TeckNick83]

@jailbreakir please respect my style of music.

[SPIDERMANBATPIG]

how does this sound like skrillex?

[SPIDERMANBATPIG]

@SPIDERMANBATPIG cool vst though, did you code it yourself or did you use another program?

[TeckNick83]

@SPIDERMANBATPIG synthmaker bro!

[TeckNick83]

@SPIDERMANBATPIG he uses the same settings in the song reptile.

[SPIDERMANBATPIG]

@TeckNick83 Well I know for a fact that he uses FM8 predominantly, he said so himself plus I've made very similar patches to his. But anyway, the VST looks pretty cool I might have to try synthmaker out since reaktor is so god damn expensive.

[dekolbe]

sounds like... nothing

[DJOnesNzeroS]

Dig the beat

[TeckNick83]

@DJOnesNzeroS Thanks!

[GoldenArc]

sounds horrible

[gibsonguru15]

i would deffs work on ur dubstep sounds a little more, and break up the regularity and at least give it the impression of not repeating.

[gibsonguru15]

@gibsonguru15 not a bad song, just a little friendly criticism from one producer to another ;)

[LightningTits]

LOL this is fucking horrible. BEE POO BOOPIE

[ANGELO13111]

evening. 

[smit1442]

hey, back the fuck up people hating, go make a better song if you're so inclined.

[shmorider]

this good i liked it

[ThePS3GamerXX]

This doesn't sound anything like Sonny's work.

[OfficialGolden]

sounds like pee pee boo boo poop poop...gay

[malatia7575]

The gay cop had his uniform on, while he was jerking off, his boss came in the room and he was caought in the act. Too late to apologize, the faggot was already jerking off, shrillex slash Deadmau5cunt musik was playin lound....

[malatia7575]

Gay porn musik, a fat cop faggot get screwed in the ass, while suckin cock, that's the kind of image these sounds gives u!!!!!!!!

[malatia7575]

Absolute Skrillex cock and cunt sound, these kind of sounds are good for porn soundtracks - that all I have to say!!!!!!!

[vukeidge]

nice slideshow :p

[Seneta0fficial]

the sausage fx thing is fuckin shit why do people use it?

[TeckNick83]

@Seneta0fficial Hey man, its to make sounds stand out in a mix. Sometimes I use it to make a bassline stand out. You could do this with eqing and compression in ableton but its a short cut. Its all great for moving low freq in the mix. If you move them in the spectrum rate while cutting the lows a little. Only a little but, ok. It can have a huge impact on your mix. Remember everything in a mix has to fit. Its like fine tuning it. Or making the perfect stitch in your music. Just dont over do it

[TeckNick83]

@Seneta0fficial please don't use the f word! show some more class. Music now days is about quality. If you don't have it your out of the game.

[Seneta0fficial]

@TeckNick83 lmao fuckin idiot.I use whatever i want,not my game? learn some real production instead of buying shitty vst fx

[glsmaster]

Modular 'n' Stuff.

[huhjustin]

terrible

[bulletinthewind]

@TeckNick83 Hey man....Skrillex uses Native Instruments, FM8 not Massive.....cool vid...cheers.

[TeckNick83]

@bulletinthewind I think he uses both?

[bulletinthewind]

@TeckNick83 Nah bruz...there's an interview where the interviewer asks him about all the cats on YouTube trying to replicate his sound with Massive...he gives credit to the folks trying to get it with Massive but says he specifically uses FM8...check it out...it's around here somewhere. Keep cookin' those sounds though mang...peace.

[PrAggro]

I listened and listened, that sounded horrible, needs a lot of work man, without sounding so harsh, I'm sorry if that sounds offensive but does need a lot of work, mainly timing issues. Hope you figure that out

[TeckNick83]

@PrAggro Please recommend a better tutorial in this style music! You didn't get my point. I demonstrating how to make a dynamic mix! please listen to one trick pony - deadmau5 he uses a moog but its choppy like my bassline! If you have better work please show me.

[PrAggro]

@TeckNick83 Oh right well if you're just fully demonstrating the mix and bassline then I suppose you're sort of on the right lines, it's just your timing is well off and needs a lot of work.

[Creepernator]

in all seriousness. You need to be a real DJ

[TeckNick83]

@Creepernator Thanks im working on that. my soundcloud is soundcloud/ youthoric

[dubmonkeyaudio]

hey man thats sounds nice :D good job btw. do u think u can send that file to me but only using Massive so i can actually see what u did and learn from that???? please man, it would make my day.. let me know in here and then we will find a way to do that.. CHEERS !!!

[TeckNick83]

@dubmonkeyaudio sure send me your email

[dubmonkeyaudio]

@TeckNick83 ok man thanks alot :D i have send you the email in a private message, let me know if u dud get it.. CHEERS!

[RohanS882]

u sound a bit like cleveland from family guy, lol

[TeckNick83]

@RohanS882 lol ok :p

[thoraht]

ey oh, how do u make the sound wich sounds like high metallic scream stuff i guess its the Blue part called VE and how do you controle it?

[TeckNick83]

@thoraht Glitch VST, Omnecide distortion or however you spell it.

[dmoates420]

Did you really just use a total marketing term straight from the website, "It sounds real greasy", lol that was a joke on their part playing on the sausage theme, how do actually describe a "greasy" sound. haha I'm just sayin'!!!!

[MrAntHeezie]

@dmoates420 People Prob Said The Same Thing About Describing A Lead As Creamy Or A Mic As Warm. Shit, In 2035 All The Hot Tracks Are Gone be Greasy As FUCK lol

[TeckNick83]

@dmoates420 Yes i did however any money i make will good right back into making the best VST products and music software. My goal is to float it and not lose money. This is america!

[Yonarous]

Great sounds man, just try to put work up the timings of things, it's a bit off tempo

[JDeMuse]

its hard to recreate skrillex sounds in reason.

[tjnovak27]

its alright could be better good tho

[ThcMadness]

Skrillex uses FM8 idk how he does it lol

[SrRusne]

@ThcMadness Skrillex uses Nexus 2

[ThcMadness]

@SrRusne oh theres this interview look for it he says he uses fm8 for roars idk i may be wrong ? (:

[SrRusne]

@ThcMadness lol, idk i read on his facebook about some nexus 2 issues, maybe he uses fm 8 for some roars and nexus for another sounds

[ThcMadness]

@SrRusne ehh both cool soft synths

[alexanderehmann]

ahh ... ahhhm .... ahh ...

[djgravitate]

Seems very dry sounding, almost too synthetic... Needs some more ambient noise or FX's on the drums loop..... Its well composed though :)

[TeckNick83]

Good call man didn't think of that. I don't get people when they say dmau5 don't do dstep? Uhh have you heard one trick pony ft. Sofi? It's pretty epic and has a dstep chugging beat and bassline? No hate towards Sofi but I wish mau5 would realizes that no vocals would have been better but whatever.

The mau5 could make any type of music because he is tallented and thinks outside the NI Massive box and uses moogs and modular stuff.

[eleckson]

@TeckNick83 ANY kind of music? Really, think about that.

[1wimeo1]

@TeckNick83 do you have any idea how much a moog costs?

[bigfoofingers]

sounds like borgore.....

[TeckNick83]

Hell yeah brother!

[TribalSMD]

you can do this without vst and buyed sound. just ableton + your voice!

[craparoniandcheese]

I'll fatten your sausage

[mw2king89]

Deadmau5 doesn't make dub step, might wanna change the title. no hate though..................

[TheOfficialInception]

@mw2king89 You've Never heard Raise Your Weapon or One Trick Pony have you?....

[mw2king89]

@TheOfficialInception Ok, well i stand corrected, lol.... but he doesn't really make heavy dub step, makes soft dub step and he HARDLY ever makes it

[TeckNick83]

@mw2king89 ok?

[mw2king89]

@TeckNick83 yep

[TeckNick83]

@TheOfficialInception That what im saying...

[RealizeStudios]

@mw2king89 neither does skrillex



[mw2king89]

@RealizeStudios Then what would you say he makes? Besides electro, because he makes electro and dubstep... dub step = drums, build, drop, bass

[TeckNick83]

@RealizeStudios rolls eyes

[Cookiepoee]

I can masturbate easily to your beats.

[TheCaptainjose]

kinda sucks how you have to spend a whole heap on NI products, like massive, to get a good tone :/

[TeckNick83]

@TheCaptainjose i hear utorrent makes good software

[TheCaptainjose]

@TeckNick83 tried it man. all torents are broken. the sound fails.

although if you have a working one...

[J4YM5]

@TeckNick83 :-) nice pwnage there

[dragonsidney]

@TheCaptainjose maybe a little bit to late but you don't have to buy NI stuff. Just get the Software that fits your workflow, you get the "good tone" by experience and much a/b-ing.

[coutnerstrike1]

Is it for Mac

[TeckNick83]

@coutnerstrike1 yeah

[GeoAl09]

deadmau5 doesnt make dubstep...

[DjSmilez2k11]

@GeoAl09 yea he does Raise your Weapon dont,post if u dont know ass hole :)

@DjSmilez2k11
