**My first attempt at DUBSTEP**

Here’s my first attempt at creating a heavy dubstep track, evidently it’s not finished yet but I’d love some feedback and/or suggestions 🙂

I quite like this. I don’t have much in the way of suggestions, other than keep at it.

Hey, great work! I just have a question as how to get that aaarrrrggghhhhh sound, I know its a lowpass filter and then a bitcrusher, but what synth did you use to run through? I’m just curious because your track has that top notch filtered synth! Good job!

I used Abletons Operator and created a synth line with FM to give it some grit. Then I used the bitcrusher, works best with the bottom knob set between 10 and 25 and the filter modulating between about 200 Hz and 1.2 kHz.

Hope this helps!

Can’t really leave feedback because seems too short but, it’s a good start for a decent longer mix.
