theory did a great job explaining it..
check the link in my sig for my dub mix ive gotten alot of awesome feedback from it, i mix it a little differently then most people, i like to loop intros and gradually fade in to create kind of a new song, in fact theres times when i have completely mixed songs to where theres only 25-30 seconds of the original and the rest is a blend.
enjoy, dub is FUN to mix!
Excellent post Theory!
Woa! That was an awsome post theory! Never thought about how to mix dubstep…i just did it 
quality thread!
Dubheads love their drops! also they love double drops for instance, rusko mixed blinded by the lights (nero) with badman sound (doctor p) and they double dropped with the bass from blinded with the tune from badman and it was insane!
Dub is a type of reggae. get it right.
Backspins, lots of.
I laughed. And then cried a little.
Backspins FTW! It’s sad but a lot of Dubstep DJ’s do that cheap trick… but I don’t mind. I’m usually into the music so much I don’t really judge the mixing skills as much as the song selection.
Anyways, Go study these guys:
And then watch GetDarker TV every tuesday. I guarantee you will learn how to mix dubstep.
thanks for the compliments. that post needed to be done eventually.
yeah, but then you heard me say you need to hilight the whole post to find the extra info.
good god no. please dont joke. that pisses me off so much.
ok so im having some trouble and was wondering if someone could help,
i downloaded the following two songs of beatport to practice dubstep mixing.
Yup (Original mix) - FS
Burning up - (Torqux & Twist) - Peo De Pitte
Ok so i come from a progressive backgroud so when mixing i like to do all my mixing in 32 bars, For Example…
Bringing in the song and bass changing on a 32 beat, Then bringing the Track out at another 32 with is normally when the track go’s quite and into a buildup..
Sorry today is my first day trying to mix it, also trying to write everything so someone else can understand is hard..
help make my dubstep 
Those songs make me want to fucking cry.
just grabbed whats was in the top 5, dont wanna track unit untill i have the mixing down 100%
This is art man, there’s no such thing as 100%!
ok, uh… lets see
if you read my guide, you should generally just mix intros and breakdowns with eachother.
generally, the only time you use the eq is if the hi hats or snares sound god awful and busy with each other.
It may be just because I go for deeper, wobble free nonsense but I have to disagree with you here.
It’s allllll about the EQ and long mixes, yo!
The drum beat in most dubstep is 70 but everything else is at 140. So yes they are all 140 just software gets confused cuz it see’s the drumbeat is 70
I think that traktor always assigns bpm to the lowest possible value in the set range.
no it assisgns it to the value the alogrythm that determins bpm thinks it is.
this gets alot of its date from the peaks in the lower range. ie the kick drum. As dubstep only has a kick drum every other beat it thinks its 70 rather than 140. Its just maths at the end of the day.
I’ve never, ever had a track that didn’t get registered at the lowest possible range. Even a boring hardtek piece that is 90% 4/4 kickdrums at 220 bpm was registered to 110bpm. Kinda strange since it would mean that there is a kickdrum on every off beat.
