People who want to get into the business (or hobby) of making dubstep music usually just get their favorite music making software, fool around with it, then quit. Those who don’t quit usually end up disappointed with the lack of quality wubs, synth shreds and bass drops the standard plugins included with the software provide. Sure, it was easy enough to make the drum loops for your dubstep track, but the serious meat, the synths and basslines, are challenging. You need Massive by Native Instruments.
Seriously, if you invest the time, creating face-melting dubstep music with Massive and your favorite music production software (Pro Tools, Fruity Loops, Reason, etc.) will become second nature to you. If you’re anyone who wants to be a serious competitor in the dubstep producer and remix genre, you’re going to want…….no………you’re going to NEED the following for Massive. I recommend the following:
NI Massive Master Class
This is a 3 hour tutorial for using Massive. This training class is the truth. You sit back, watch the class from your computer, participate with the tutorials, and learn how to use and master Massive. about 3 hours later, you’re like, “Damn. I know how to make some sick ass music with Massive now.” I would strongly recommend you make sure you’re comfortable, have at least 3 hours dedicated to focusing on this, and enjoy yourself a nice beverage. Be sure to have some decent headphones or studio monitors setup. You’re going to want to really hear your new skills.
