If you’re looking to add some extra oomph to your dubstep track, look no further than automation. By using a few simple automation techniques, you can make your track sound even more powerful and professional.
Here’s how to do it:
1. First, create a basic dubstep beat using your favorite drum samples.
2. Next, add a bassline that compliments the drums.
3. Once the bassline is in place, it’s time to add some synth melodies.
4. Finally, add some effects to the synth melodies using automation.
Here’s a breakdown of each step:
1. Creating a basic dubstep beat is relatively simple. Start by finding a good drum sample pack and loading up your favorite drum samples into your DAW.
2. Next, add a bassline that compliments the drums. A good rule of thumb is to make the bassline half the speed of the drums. So, if your drums are playing at 160 BPM, your bassline should be playing at 80 BPM.
3. Once the bassline is in place, it’s time to add some synth melodies. Again, a good rule of thumb is to make the synth melodies half the speed of the bassline. So, if your bassline is playing at 80 BPM, your synth melodies should be playing at 40 BPM.
4. Finally, add some effects to the synth melodies using automation. This is where things can get really creative. Automation gives you the ability to add all sorts of effects to your synth melodies, so get creative and have fun with it!
