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 part 1, Nalepa starts with a basic beat, uses the Impulse instrument to create the beat and then gives tips on how to make it more interesting. In part 2, Nalepa adds groove, a bass line and some VST effects. Check out how the track shapes up in video 3.
