Ableton Live Video Tutorials ‘Dubstep Style Composition’ w/ Nalepa Blog
In this video series LA-based Dubspot Instructor, Ableton Expert, and electronic music producer Steve Nalepa takes us step by step through the process of creating a dubstep style track in Ableton Live (these techniques can be used for any style – not just dubstep).
In the first video, Professor Nalepa starts with a basic beat. He uses the Impulse instrument to create the beat and then shows some tips on how to make it more interesting.
In the second video, Nalepa shows us how to add groove, a bass line and how to add some interest using some VST effects.
Check out how the track shapes up in part three.
