Hi, before you start posting threads I suggest you have a look through the forum to see if the thread you want to start already exists. There’re a number of threads covering this topic, so to keep us from having to iterate everything, here’s a link to it. Read through and ask questions in there.
If you don’t make your bass first your tune will be shit
OP: what’s funny is that a lot of daws assume you kind of know what you want to do already…
-
do you know anything about synths and step sequencers? If not, that’s the best place to start learning ASAP.
-
try to find some MIDI files of entire tunes - doesn’t have to be dubstep or bass music, but reggae is actually a good genre to begin with - and load them into Ableton and start assigning voices and loading samples, then play around with parameters and such.
Put a kick on 1 a snare on 2. Put a sub on the off beat. Sample some middle eastern tune or something. Add maybe a few oos or yeahs. Repeat forever.
