Let me tell you what each does separately below. To put it simply the Dubstep Destruction Tools are what are called plugins. They are all basically the same thing and are just different names used by different companies. That's mainly how you'd be using these, as plugins for your DAW. However, each does have a standalone mode too for live performance and practicing at home.
It has four different interface screens. Here's the main one:. What you have is two independent channels that can be stereo or combine to be mono to form the bass portion of your dubstep song. You know the typical low frequency wobbling sounds used You have control both LFO's low frequency oscillators , the parts that create the swaying aspect of the wobble, where you can design the sound much like a parametric equalizer.
You set the Q, or width in the frequency spectrum, of your sound design using the Width knob. And then you can choose where to center those Q's using the filter knobs.
You design the synth wave using the smaller knobs up in the LFO area. In addition, you can tweak the pitch and choose how smooth the glide portamento between notes is as well. Each parameter can be used with automation too, so you can really dig in and design every moment of your song. Yes, while these plugins reduce the amount of automation you'll be doing fold, you can't escape it entirely and won't want to.
That's what makes dubstep what it is. Other screens allow you to set up delays, choruses, and reverbs to get that spaced out effect of the chill style, or you can go dry and clear cutting like the more aggressive styles. Zero limitations. The Best Parts : The whole thing is the bomb. With that being said, I do have two favorite aspects of this plugin. The first is the preset synthesizer sounds that are pre-built as jumping off points for you.
That way you're not starting at ground zero but it's still YOUR sound you created. The second is the tempo sync of the pattern generator. That the game changer, because The Pattern Generator portion of the Wobble plugin is the part that's going to save you countless hours tweaking MIDI data and automation parameters.
Basically, once you generate your wobble waveform, you then can go in and choose the sustain of each note. So you can have whole note and then a quarter note, and then a set of triplets, etc.
You're not going to want the same wobble the whole time, of course. The best part I mentioned is that these rhythms automatically sync to the tempo of your song. No more hours in the piano roll and automation panel! You'll see how awesome this thing really is Let's look at Twist next.
Where Wobble is for the bass portion of your track, I think of and use Twist for the middle and high frequency portions of my dubstep songs. I'll save you time here. This pretty much works just like the Wobble plugin but with a focus on the upper registry of your sound design. With this plugin, you're creating your wubs and glitches, the parts that really get the listener going. It has all of the same settings as Wobble including the harmonic tuners, spatial effects, pattern generator, and the tempo sync feature praise the gods.
There are some different features I'm including as the best parts The Best Parts : The filter envelope generators save a ton of time helping you sculpt the core of your sound.
Jump between square, sawtooth, sine, and triangle with the click of a button. Those are your four essential synthesizer waveforms. Tweaking bass sounds isn't as hard as your main melody or harmony sounds. Twist includes over presets to use or treat as jumping off points. Oh, the time savings! As always, every single knob and button can be controlled with automation. Check out this video. It's not as in-depth as the previous one but it still gives you an overview of the capabilities of this plugin.
Twist is what you need to for designing your main dubstep sounds, without a doubt. Combine that with Wobble for you bass and you're already leagues beyond trying to start from the ground up, all without being dependent upon loops lame. The main attraction of Pulse for me is the selection of sounds provided which are specifically chosen for the dubstep maker. You can stop hunting through a thousand drum sound font sets hoping to find one that works. But those that you did find in the past can be imported into Pulse so you have access to your whole collection in one spot.
The second thing I like about Pulse although it doesn't apply to me specifically because I won't be playing live is that it's set up in an MPC button grid fashion. While you can type in each drum with your mouse, you can also play your beats into Pulse using a MIDI pad grid and then quantize it. Boom, you're done. This means that you're getting practice on your launchpad in case you ever want to perform live and you can use Pulse when you do, since it integrates seamlessly.
The Best Parts : Pulse comes with drum kits, not just sounds but entire kits specifically chosen for dubstep production! Each sound can be changed up with the modulation and effects knobs as well, so the possibilities are truly endless. I like that you can figure out a drum pattern in your head, bang it out on your launchpad, and then go back in and edit it, add fills, copy and paste, etc. All of the time savings this provides, on top of the ridiculously high quality, means you can spend a little more time tweaking custom fills and making more patterns.
That's the kind of ear candy that makes dubstep so awesome. As you see, you can mix your drums live right there in the plugin. That's awesome for live performance and mix engineers who are used to mixing entire drum kits on a room and overhead mic. So check this out. We've talked about the bass, lead instruments, and now drums. The only thing that's missing is vocals!
That's where Vocalizer comes in. No dubstep song is complete without some tweaked up vocals! Vocalizer Pro is partially an instrument and completely a synth processor. While you can pump any stream of audio through its various filters and effects modules, the main purpose is to enhance your vocal takes. The Best Parts : Without a doubt, the vocoder instrumentality is the best.
It provides the ability to tune your vocals, not unlike an auto-tuner, to any note. VST support is also included. Some beginners still may not catch on to this high-tech software, as it has a steep learning curve. This program contains the standard audio and video editing options, while including audio recordings, and MIDI editing.
Electronic instruments and other devices can also be plugged into this software to enhance sounds or create new music. This program, however, is much more expansive than its competitors and is not as user friendly as some of the other dubstep producing programs.
A vast array of beats, sounds, and loops come preinstalled with advanced search features to help users find the perfect sound. MIDI editing and audio editing is also supported.
It features 32 full-scale magnifying variants of various instruments, as well as 32 samples. They can be combined as you want. The built-in metronome will help you to keep up with the rhythm, and several modes of the sampler operation playback while holding Pad or when touching opens unlimited possibilities for experiments. Gather the company and arrange a Live Session using several devices, of course, if you are not a human-orchestra.
The app can be downloaded for free. Dubstep Drum Pads Guru is an application that allows you to create music in the dubstep style directly on your Android mobile device. The Dubstep Drum Pads Guru app will definitely please Dubstep fans with sets of music bits and loops.
It is not necessary to be a professional musician and have some specific knowledge to enjoy the program. It will give you a lot of pleasant sensations, regardless of your skills. The application is made in such a way that it easy combines powerful functionality and ease of use. Immediately after the startup, you will be offered to make several settings. This will affect the further sound. Already after the setup, virtual keys appear on the screen, with the help of which you can start creating your own unique compositions right in the app.
Once you get used to the management, the process will be more confident. Dubstep Drum Pads 24 is an application that will allow you to create musical compositions in the style of Dubstep. It will be interesting even for those who do not have any special skills. The program is created exclusively for entertainment purposes and, unfortunately, or fortunately, cannot be considered a serious sound editor.
Its main purpose is to help the user to pass the time and at the same time to receive moral satisfaction. Skrillex learned to produce on this software, which has been around long enough to establish itself — at least 10 years. Fruity Loops, unlike other softwares, is only for Windows, so Mac users miss out on this one. Massive, another program I will discuss later, works alright for producing dubstep bass on its own, but really needs to be coupled with a program like Reason to be great.
It is easy to use, comes with tons of instruments and effects, and studio-grade mixing console. Disclosure : As an Amazon Associate, I earn from qualifying purchases. The commission help keep the rest of my content free, so thank you! Great read though — those are all great programs for producing dubstep. Hi all, I have considered purchasing the software program DubTurbo Beatmaker and was hoping somebody could give me an actual authentic assessment of the software program.
Thank you in advance for all the information somebody can offer.
