Thread: Dubstep BPM

    Default Dubstep BPM

    Since I am gonna hop on the electro house / Dubstep bus I have a question
    When mixing dubstep in do you usually have the beatgrid x2 from 70bpm or keep it normal?

    I normally have dubstep at 140, unless I'm mixing into Hip Hop. Jokes, I never play Hip Hop.

    ah ok.
    Just looks easier to bring the tempo down to where I need it.

    I mainly have it at 140 so I don't have to do math apart from counting beats i.e figuring out what is half of 130 when mixing into electro.

    Just remember 70 is just half time! So you can drop the 70 down to 65 and mix any electro house at 130 and it will sound fine!

    Yeah, but that hurts my brain, and it's easier to just have it at 140, as I don't mix Hip Hop.
