Many producers find this genre difficult to produce as they’re often confused on how to achieve the complex bass lines and larger-than-life feel, but when the genre is broken down into its most basic elements and structure, the task of producing a hard-hitting Dubstep track doesn’t seem so difficult anymore.

Start with the beat. Many dubstep tracks start with a very subtle beat, incorporating a few simple drum sounds and gradually and steadily building up until the beat drops. After the pause, the main melody, bassline, and beat come in. Choose a snare sample or layer 3 together to get a big and deep sound.

The majority of tracks on the album were produced by Excision, with collaborations with other artists such as Datsik, Downlink, Space Laces, Far Too Loud, Bassnectar and Ajapai….Excision (musician)

You need the same equipment for making dubstep as what you’d need for making any other type of EDM – a computer with a DAW (digital audio workstation), a mid-end processor and a couple of speakers.

Just practice counting the beats. Or try putting a track into a DAW like ableton or audacity and use the metronome to play at the same tempo as your song. If you practice counting along to the song you will find that most dubstep follows a standard composition with builds, drops and breaks in about the same position.

My all-time favorite producer, Valentine Brun, or Virtual Riot, uses Ableton.

When Skrillex is asked what software he uses, Ableton Live is always cited as his DAW of choice. Ableton Live is an incredibly popular software among EDM and dance music producers as it is not only just a sequencer but it also allows you to build and arrange music.
