how to create a true dubstep sound

[chrispizzy]

I am planning on buying a korg monotron and trying to combine it with my digtech synth wah, any ideas on how else to do it?

[korybaugus]

The Studio Electronics ATC Xi Quad will do it better than anything else I've heard, IMHO.

it looks very complicated and fun, but also very pricy. I'm looking for an inexpensive and creative way to do it. It's nothing more than a fun project idea, but none the less thanks for the link!

intrested in responses to this, I am going to be using dubstep as part of my music in the future

[chrispizzy]

yeah it's really fun to experiment with if you have the right sound which is what i'm looking to get

[Zildjian106]

were in the same boat bro, moving to production rather than live bass playing.

I don't have any idea but after reading this thread and this one new sounds... I figured maybe this guy would have some ideas to share with you.

...and these two threads:
DUBSTEP Effects.
That Dubstep Wobbbbbbbbble.

I'm gonna get beat-up for saying it, but.... a keyboard synth is probably the best way to get most of those sounds. Of course, a little bit of uber-effected bass guitar is nice too- but methinks the easiest way to nail 80% of the genres sounds is with a key controller and soft-synth.

Yeah soft synths, effects automation, and resampling is how 99% of dubstep basses are made. On a bass guitar you're gonna a need few different waveshapers and a filter controlled by an LFO or well practiced foot at the bare minimum. From there you can look into distortions, ring mods, phasers/ flangers, slapback delays and verbs, and if you can find one, a formant filter for the talking robot bass.

Got any examples of what sound your going for? Theres a lot of different basses in dubstep, and the subbass parts are sometimes different than the 'wobbly' parts.

this is the closest i have gotten
only using two pedals and then a drum track

I've used a MXR envelope filter with the sensitivity off, or all the way down, it's just this MASSIVE bass sound, no treble.
