Is It Possible To Make Dubstep On Renoise?

@Rafał Zawadzki

I am working on some dubstep 140BPM/128, but yesterday I wanted to expand my old track (70BPM/64) to 140/128, but I failed.

Is there any shortcut to expand patter, like every second line? I used to do it on old Protracker 2.3b, should be possible here as well

Somehow, this reminds me of an astoundingly large amount of programs, but Renoise, thankfully, is not one of them.

Honestly? Can you name three? I think I could make dubstep with Photoshop if I really tried.

yes, but you need Coagula for this

i would give anybody who could draw out a dubstep tune in Coagula a standing ovation, that shit would be epic.

I’ve been making dubstep in Renoise for about 2 months now and I have to say that it is very well suited for this genre. I personally really like having the patterns set to 64, the BPM at 140, and the LPB at 8. With this setting it is very easy to stay in halftime by putting the snare hits on lines 16 and 48 of the pattern. Plus this allows you to have more space for laying out the hi-hats and other cymbals. Use the lfo device to modulate the filter or scream filter device on wobble basses that don’t already have a built in lfo and filter or on one that is based off of a sample as apposed to a synth. You can also use the lfo device to modulate many other things to give your music more pazazz. The snares definately need to be layered from atleast 2-3 snare samples, and I would suggest applying some light reverb to one of them for some added space. Also layer up the basses. I would also suggest using an equalizer on all of the layered drums to make there frequencies fit together well in the mix.

i do this, but all the time the beat is fucking RIGID as shit. How to make this fucking shifty/offbeat dubstep rhythm.

its crazy guys, but i really now cant write “breaky” music…some years ago i wrote some nice breakcore/drill stuff. I chopped breaks easily those days…and now i just sit and cant even write a proper dubstep beat (god thanks i know how to make wobble basslines, its simple as shit.). all the time i try to make a simple dubstep beat, its too rigid…i guess its something i cant go on with dat SPEED/LPB transition or something. Its some kind “breakbeat block” shit.

Please help me unlock my breakbeat skills again! )

Also the native renoise LFO sometimes starts to sound a little bit offset/offbeat what is not good i guess.

means reset to the begin of a lfo-cycle.
x standing for the dsp number in the chain.

right clicking Reset on the LFO works as well…

yes you have to reset the lfo each time you change the tempo but also at the begining of a track to make sure it starts from where it should. x700 = reset, x7yy = whith y you can change the start point from the lfo waveform.

my gran’ma can do it with photoshop.
do it with MS PAINT and we’re all impressed.

[danoise]

That’s easy. Just pick the wobble brush!

using the mighty wobble brush apparatus is simply lame cheating and furthermore would raise serious legal concerns:

S***!!! That patent was filed in 2002. Those people are obviously shady operators…
