Title: Dubstep music
Post by: Ghost1988 on June 01, 2011, 01:10:59 PM

Does anyone listen to this Genre of music? i'm officially HOOKED after my ex introduced me to it a year ago. Apparently it's been around awhile but hasn't caught on much yet in the US besides the hardcore followers. I guess I've been hiding under a rock forever lol. I'm even reading up on how to become a Dubstep DJ. it may just be the greatest thing around lol.  )&

A little late to the party, but I'm a dubstep DJ.  been DJing weddings and proms for 6 years, and am delving into the club scene now with some house, electro, and dub beats.  Check out Logic Pro, DubTurbo, Traktor Pro 2 and Beatler/Beatnik for software.  Buy a Macbook Pro.  No excuses.  a PC can't handle the resource usage of Traktor Scratch pro 2 running 4 decks with effects.  Look into the Native instruments X1 or S4.  They are the same company that made Traktor, and the hardware is perfect for it obviously.  I use both along with a MIDI Fighter and a custom MIDI/HID controller I built myself.  I go by DJ Zoom, but since I gained the chrome dome, I'm tempted to change it to DJ Clean.  :D

Good stuff, Dj Zoom ;)

You're right, Ghost, it hasn't caught on much in the US. At the same time, Britney Spears used a fair amount of dubstep production in one of her more recent singles and you will hear it appear in more and more mainstream songs. I just hope it doesn't mean that it loses its edge and creativity and becomes too gimicky, as is the case a lot of times things go mainstream.

Yea.  The dubstep sound is in everything now.  From Lady Gag's "The Edge of Glory" to Ke$ha's entire album.  I bought the remix albums of all the mainstream artists who have one and 90% of it has huge drops with club samples.  Remixes are so much better than radio edits.  :)
