[miglafosca]

[a36120]

nice!!!

[cgraf83]

Hi Michael, do you have any vids of you making a whole track from start to finish by linking the different stages together to record ?

[DubSpot]

@cgraf83 For a more in depth look at these ideas check out our online school at dubspot.com

[encer00]

thanks a lot, this is awesome

[djayraj]

No, he sounds like the host from , "Silent Library"...Spot on....

[tex4568]

do you have any tutorials for creating a good bassline or know any good ones? This is that part I feel I have the most trouble with. Thanks!

[DubSpot]

@tex4568 check out our dubstep production tutorials on our channel. It's a different style but it ought to help you learn some stuff about basslines to apply to your own music.

[tex4568]

@DubSpot awesome! thank you so much, will do, I've been getting better with coming up with good basslines, I suppose with practice it'll come in time

[DubSpot]

@tex4568 definitely, also spending some time learning about music theory will help in choosing notes and patterns.

[MrRidisc]

@DubSpot and where to learn this??? online?

[MrRidisc]

btw i dont think the different is subtle at all!!!!

[rupertshean]

guys voice somehow reminds me of stallone

[NTFavorit]

it's also important to set your dry/wet knob always to 100% at return tracks, so that you only get the reveerb signal and none of the original sound into the return

[MikeTohr06]

Nice 

[DJTruthKassel]

Can you give me a link i need good free Sampler ?

[deluxehousecat]

very good videos. i wished there were more dubspot vids available...

[adrenerg]

The sound is really catchy, niice

[benoc1402]

thank you very much it helped alot. cheers.

[rigobeats]

great voice =D

[SparkySubie]

What's the reason for putting the first reverb on those shakers when you put on a room reverb after? I was wondering if this is a common technique or if you just thought it sounded good.

[SparkySubie]

@SparkySubie ** on the shakers and the other drums as well*

[DubSpot]

@SparkySubie Yes, this is a common technique to use different style reverbs on drums. It allows you to achieve different colors and helps with the placement of sound.

- Michael

[SparkySubie]

@DubSpot So I'm guessing it's mostly done with minimal right? I've never heard of this technique for other kinds of house.

[JIZZOTIC]

Thanks a lots. Great tutorial.

[TheBenlivermore]

Yeah I dont know how to get the drum rack mixer up aswell.

[DubSpot]

Check the reply I made to Marina2080 below. I explain it there.

- Michael

[pietroplatania]

good infos... i really like the bass sound, how did you produced it and how do you played it?

thanks

[ZaeTV]

Thanks alot! Very informative!!! :)

[workistorture]

Unrelated, but how were you able to get that bass sound you were using?

[bevizzo]

Does anybody know what Live skin this is? Great tutorial,btw.

[camdensmith555]

tobacco i think

[bevizzo]

Cheers buddy! I've already figured it out,it's the Dark Grey or something close :).Thanks anyway!

[DubSpot]

I believe it was "Grey". Now that I think about it, it's probably not the best to do screen casts with.

- Michael

[marina2080]

great tut!

from now on I'll use more the live's reverb :)

do you keep all the percussion on the same drum rack?

it's easier for build up the patterns,but what EQ and mastering?

Same or separate tracks?

thanks

[DubSpot]

Theres tons of different ways to get similar results. I like to get my basic Ideas down putting everything in the same Drum Rack. Then later on Ill extract the individual sounds out to separate tracks by right clicking on the chain and clicking extract chain.

From there Ill group the drums that I would like to share common effects...Hope that helps.

- Michael

[LoudonYukon]

Michael, great job man, awesome vid, I like the "sound's shadow" idea, I will use that in the future.

[andrew0596]

& p.s i fukin love your videos so keep them up. i always take your ideas and try to put them into my mixes.

And i really like that bassline!

[andrew0596]
