How to make Drum & Bass and Dubstep drums: Kick
You can easily identify a track from a rookie musician. They don’t have that punch to their drums. The kick and snare are too soft in the overall mix, and they are almost inaudible. When i started to produce, i was looking for a long time for the secret to "making fat drums".
Today I will tell you the way to make punchy kick. We'll look at how to layer the kick drum and then how to process it with compressor and EQ.
9 Steps From Idea To Beatport Top 10
Every musician eventually develops their own style; we call it their "sound". Sound in this context is a set of methods and techniques that contribute to a certain definitive musical style. Today I want to talk about the steps I used to produce a track from beginning to end. I will use perhaps my most unusual track, India Sleeping.
This track was released on the UK label "Standard Audio" in 2010 and in less than 2 weeks reached the Beatport dubstep TOP10. In most of my productions I usually prefer to make a fat bassline and very loud and punchy drums. India Sleeping is the antithesis of my favourite way to make music. Here I used a cello for the bass line with a bold sub bass made of a single sine wave. But let’s start at the beginning.
Vocal Processing With Melodyne (Ableton Live Tutorial)
In this video, I want to talk about processing vocals. Not about simple compression or EQ, as this basic information can easily be found on the Internet. I want to talk about pitch processing - adjusting the notes. Since our voice is a living instrument, which each of us have, you should enjoy singing. Many people know that it's not easy to get the pitch right, and it often spoils your whole composition.
Daft Punk Vocoder (Ableton Live Tutorial)
Today we'll talk about vocal processing through a vocoder. Daft Punk have used this technique in many of their tracks.
I have searched for a long time to find a convenient and easy vocoder, and tried many different devices. When we started work on the PLAYMA track "Cuz We Are PLAYMA", the vocals weren't catchy enough, and at the time I had not had the opportunity to ask some of my friends to record vocals for me. I decided to try recording them myself, even though I don't like my voice.

In this video I have told you about a method of resampling a bass line. I often use this method in my videos, since using it I can get pretty solid results and diverse bass lines. In the next videos I'm going to tell you about mixing, equalizing and other, not less important topics.
