Drum And Bass production. where do i begin?
I really love drum and bass and want to give it a go. where do i start? are there any good tutorials anywhere? what are your experiances/advice for me? any help is appreciated. also im working entirely from ableton.
Re: Drum And Bass production. where do i begin?
Do you have any James Brown records?
Sample them at 45rpm into live and start slicing up the breaks.Try to play just like the record as tight as possible, then start venturing off randomly.
Then just play with a square and sine wave with analog in Ableton.

step 5 - realize that dubstep is the current flavour of the month, the new 'black' and sell out to it, therefore skipping steps 1-3 but emphasizing step 4 - loadamoney, bosh, bosh, zoom, zoom, wallop - DOSH $$$$$
step 6 - post a new forum post 'Dubstep production. Where do I begin?' and have a bunch of smart arses patronize you

Re: Drum And Bass production. where do i begin?
yes, i could sell out. and yes i also like dubstep, but its too anxious and annoying for me. here in melbourne we need a stronger drum and bass scene, and even if it starts with me its still something

You're having a laugh right - prodigy drum and bass? Using the term Big Beat? Last time I heard anyone call music big beat was mid 90s. As said hit the dogsonacid grid - it's the place to be.pendulum, prodigy. although they are both big beat as well
