Normal drum patterns have beats on the 1st, 3rd, 5th, 7th, 9th, 11th, 13th and 15th steps, if you applied the usual dubstep drum formula you would have a kick on the 1st step and the snare on the 5th step, which would continue with another kick on the 9th step and another snare on the 13th step.
Imagine each dash (-) is a step in the step sequencer, in total there are sixteen steps… Dubstep drum patterns are in half time, to achieve this I will explain the difference on the step sequencer. In dubstep the kick drum is on the first beat and the snare is usually on the third beat. I usually start a track by making my drum patterns first. It is important to set the direction of the track so the instruments you use flow well together.ĭrums are arguably the most important part of a track they lay down the framework for the rest of the song. I personally think the roots to a good track, start with planning the tone and direction you want the song to follow, a good producer should be able to mould and redevelop some points of the track when necessary. With that being said hopefully at least someone can pick up something useful!!!
I don’t think dubstep is something that can be taught I think the best way to learn is to tinker with everything until you know it inside and out. I also use an older version of FL so I may be oblivious to some of the new features available. This is a guide not a definitive set of rules to follow I cannot guarantee the information is correct this is just the way I do things. I am no big boy producer, nor am I claiming to be.
