Logic Pro Tutorial: Dubstep Wobble Bass w/ ES2 Synthesizer Pt. 1

Stay up to date with our latest videos, tutorials, reviews, event recaps, interviews, and more by subscribing to our channel ow.ly/X7H82
In this two-part Logic Pro video tutorial series, Dutty Artz co-founder Matt Shadetek takes us through the creation of a dubstep style wobble using Logic's ES2 virtual analogue synthesizer. In part one Matt introduces us to the Modulation Matrix, which allows you to create complex sounds using various modulation sources. Going beyond simple sound design, Matt explains some advanced synthesis concepts to develop a dirty bass sound. In part two, Matt takes us deeper into the process and demonstrates more advanced modulation techniques to add dynamism and variation to the sound.

Wow, great tutorial! I like the notes that appear on the screen. That makes it very easy to understand. You're an excellent teacher, dude!

[@JMcKenzie]

Thank you so much! I have to make a remix for uni and this is was the most helpful thing I've seen on the net so far! You = the man

[@RuQusS]

You are my favorite teacher out of the dubspot staff. I'm interested in taking online classes, however I'm a hip hop based producer and would only enjoy the classes if you or someone hip hop based is teaching.I definitely have learned alot from your videos and I appreciate the time you've put into all of this. Thanks

[@Muvmntality94]

thanks man, this tut really helped me. normally im not into dubstep producing but i realized how fun it is:))

[@timtoh6096]

[@antman2x2]

[@davidmarceldejong]

THANKS A LOT!

[@blueshade26]

[@JustinToussant]

that was a great tutorial

[@bleaksolaris]

thanx for this video

[@mattshadetek]

Thanks for your feedback, as you'll notice this is also my oldest tutorial, I've gotten a lot better at doing these in the past three years

[@terahking]

THIS IS NOT ORDINARY BRAAAAW!.. LUV IT..

[@DanSemotan]

@DubSpot Looks like I need to watch again ;) Thanks for the comment

[@mattshadetek]

Thanks man. I do teach the online Logic course. It's not purely hiphop but that is definitely a big part of it, I try to keep it open to a lot of styles but that's definitely a big part of my background so it's in there pretty heavy.

[@DanSemotan]

This is one of the first videos I checked out, seriously the opening song is so DOPE. This really opened up my mind. Thought I'd check back and watch again to see if I missed anything. Is there anyway to record Automation parameters live? If that makes any sense. Thanks for sharing!

[@vumusic1548]

Who knows if you'll see this with how old the video is hahaha but thank you so much, this tutorial was great!

[@nawtibitch]

[@rehtrem]

@PrincipleDubstep try adjusting the attack slider

[@d20207]

very very helpful video. This videos would be nicer if you upload them in HD.

[@CultIslandPoshie]

i love all the information but if you could upload in higher quality so we can see everything you're doing more clearly, it would help a bunch. :)

[@ObamaJoker]

@DubSpot Yes, it'd be nice and it'd be a first. Thanks for your consideration.

[@bridgfordbill]

I LOVE YOU

[@joelonsdale]

I would love to download the channel strip / ES2 setting for this so I can have a good play with it! Any chance of that?

[@tlamotte]

Dman good sound

[@spewkkake]

@DubSpot any ideas on how to make the 'whomp bass' sound in logic?

[@verzeda]

@DubSpot I already know how to make a dubstep wobble and make it quite grimy but I was wondering if you knew how to make that froggy, croaky bitcrushed-sounding kind of bass that borgore uses quite a lot?

[@BOUNDLA]

i dont like dubstep, but i enjoy the ableton tuts!

[@TiedToAGrizzly]

@BrIaNqUaDe under where it says next setting, previous setting and all that there should be a list of instruments, tutorial is among those

[@edArmstrong80]

@c25ole - press the caps-lock key :)

[@chaschao99]

Where do you find the tutorial effects for the ES2? I've looked around and i dont know where

[@antman2x2]

I cant find part 2!!

[@Jmaltz9]

how did you get the onscreen keyboard because i cant seem to find it anywhere

[@TiedToAGrizzly]

how do you get it to alternate quarter notes?

[@thechilloutsession]

would it not be easier and more reliable to use and auto filter to make the wobble.?

[@RuQusS]

Of all your videos this was the hardest to follow, no HD, and i got lost trying to figure out what midi pattern you created for each synth... :( but normally i am very impressed with your teaching and videos.

[@spada283]

Hey thanks for the tutorial man, I like the sound. I pretty much copied every step exactly and it sounds just like it, but for some reason it sounds really out of tune. Especially with a lower octave, a C will sound really detuned and if i try to correct it using any pitch correction, it messes up the high notes! Can you help me out? Thanks a bunch

[@brianquade8092]

im on es2 but i cant open tutorial. when i click it, it just says like next setting previous setting copy setting etc any help?

[@gawdday]

@DubSpot where can i find the song

[@TheLEDboi]

nice how do i sign up to get project file

[@gawdday]

@DanSemotan whats itr called and where can i find it

[@hyper7mac28]

hey can anyone tell me how he got the keyboard thing up at about 1 :45 ?

[@RexDaRaindog]

sorry but, can you explain me why I haven't the tutorial setting?

[@hyper7mac28]

@SlevinWhite lol thanks man hahahah :)

[@goubster]

is logic only for macs?

[@ijobasai]

sooooo how do i get logic?

[@DumbBassDreams]

logic pro 9 vs ableton?

[@ObamaJoker]

The one thing that no one ever shows on these vids is basic bass line composition. I assume from watching this video that you have two parallel bass line copies that alternate octaves between every other eighth which may (or may not) explain the jumpiness (erraticness) of the bass line structure but what about the actual composition/ scale structure? The jumping octaves throws me off...

[@neopandorex2]

@GreMliiNGFX Capslock

[@Alexsrandomstuff]

@Jmaltz9 hit caps lock

[@saintg1121]
