Description : ok had a go at another dubstep tune, this time the tempo is set at 135bpm, but still dont sound right??
i will work on the beat (though i wanted a old skool feel) and put in some dirty bass eventually, but is there a formula i am missing? is this still too busy?

If you have time take a listen and give phatcontroller some feedback.

Rich is right about the 140, start there and don't stray off more than 4 bpm. The funny thing about dubstep is it's ACTUALLY at 70 bpm and you write everything in half time. So assume your drum machine (redrum, ableton, etc) has a 16 beat loop in it with 4 beats per measure. On your track it has a kick and snare every measure making it fast. Imagine slowing it down half as fast. Put a kick on the first beat and then wait two measures, put a snare on the first beat of the 3rd measure. So instead of

Kick - - - Snare - - - Kick - - - Snare - - -

Do

Kick - - - - - - - Snare - - - - - - -

Repeat ;-) I hope this helps, I've spent alot of time deciphering why it's so hard to make such simple music, such is dubstep.

its the drums mate normally its just a kick and one snare like booom snare boom boom snare
you no wat i mean probably only one snare in 4 bars or you can space more and have one in 8... also nice wobbly bass and your on the money. still nice beat tho more like drum and bass. dubstep also tends to be 140bpm

Description : Miguel from Bolivia got in touch wanting to sing on my Dirge in Em track. You never know what to expect but in this case he delivered with this emotional and wonderful vocal performance. Thanks and much respect to him. LM wouldn't let me insert his U-Tube or Spotify links but I'm sure if you seek you will find.
