Producing Electronic Music

I find using analogue hardware really fattens up electronic tracks. If you can't get your hands on any, try using sampler instruments with real analogue samples...not as versatile as a soft synth but you get such a smoother and fatter sound (if that's what your after!)

Cheers

I have been using FL Studio for probably the last 6 months and I really like it. Before that it was Pro Tools, but I prefer FL. I started with FL Studio 9 and have recently upgraded to FL Studio 10...I don't think you would be disappointed with either.

There's a full review of FL Studio 10 in my sig link if you are interested.

From my understanding, a lot of folks make Dubstep with both FL, and Reason. Reason will probably have everything you need. Here's a decent enough resource for host-specific video tutorials:

Boy in a Band » Reason 4 Tutorials

Just scroll down that list. There's a Dubstep tutorial that might help you get started in Reason.

Dave is awesome -- everything I know about Reason came from him

-- what is everyones opinion of FL vs Reason -- I want to know if it's worth the investment

Ooo this looks good. I am trying to start using software to make my own dubstep and I am a total beginner.

Is there any real good tutorials for absolute beginners?

If you're just starting off, it's probably best to find a beginner tutorial for your particular software and not any genre, so you'll learn your way around the software and what everything does.

I use FL 9 and I know 10 came out fairly recently, anyone know the differences between em? Is there much point in upgrading?
