So true, i still would recommend investing in a more powerful machine if you’re planning on mixing and mastering your tracks by yourself. At that point it really is a dealbreaker

[@puffin20]

+WillShredForBread Wish more new Dubstep producers checked this out right now. All of the tunes are so basic and empty. Dubstep used to be about the groove and the sub. Now everything is about the hardest bass patches and all. I remember watching this tutorial back in 2008 when I started producing and when I find myself in a dead end I still watch it. This video is like a bible to me!

[@nose_fart]

If it helps I'm a new dubstep producer and i've taken loads of advise from this

[@silverkip2992]

In 2019

[@TapalKuda]

so you dubstep producers use acid pro too?

[@warhammer90000]

I could listen to Rusko's talking all day long

[@goodsoupltd9053]

I fucking love this dude. Even now his music stands out because he was the original dirty dubber. He took the ready wavin dubstep movement and made it his own. Rad guy.

This is my favorite youtube video ive ever seen in my life

[@tintdofficial]

watching in 2016 and still getting so many new tips xD rusko is a god!

[@ScreamMaster115]

I love how he does his basses. Wish I had his skills and his mindset for recording. Such a great producer (:

[@sprudle123]

so i watched this video like a year ago when i was just starting out making music, and i was just like; meh but now when i know more about the progress of making tunes, i realised that this is just pure gold

[@OfficialOnetone]

I love how chilled out he is, seems like such a nice guy xD

[@justmenate]

2 Years later, watching this again and I understand everything he's talking about perfectly.

I love how he looks back to the camera after he explains something, gives me feeling like im in the room :D Also I would love to see his studio these days :) Bigup Rusko !

[@olddecimal2736]

I think he’s talking to the people behind the camera.

[@FreshThreadShop]

Quite possibly the most helpful EDM production video ever made, on some slight. Classic.

[@davidradford632]

Now that was a master class. Amazing and entertaining all at the same time, he has solved a few of my issues in one sitting. |Thank you Rusko

[@kylebyron9161]

crazy how much of this is still relevant, like dubstep has changes so much in the past 10 years but the fundamentals are still the same

Guys like Rusko deserve to be on top! He's so talented and humble... There are some great guys in the industry like him, Skrilly, Hardwell, Nicky Romero who really deserve what they get. It's amazing seeing somebody producing on a CRT monitor, with Windows XP & stuff! Cause nowadays almost everybody has Macbooks, iMacs or very powerful computers with wide screens & stuff... This guy made it all on that little computer in his room. And Skrillex did that too. Rusko, you're a fuckin' great guy !!
