Want to make some dope dubstep tunes on your phone? Check out this step-by-step guide on how to do it using FL Studio Mobile 3!

Introduction

In this article, we’ll show you how to make dubstep music on FL Studio Mobile 3. This popular music production software is available for both iOS and Android devices, and it’s a great way to create professional-sounding dubstep tracks.

To get started, launch FL Studio Mobile 3 and tap on the ‘Create New Project’ button. Give your project a name and then select the ‘Dubstep’ genre from the list of available options.

Once your project has been created, you’ll see a screen with a variety of different track types that you can add. For this tutorial, we’re going to focus on the ‘Bass’ and ‘Kick’ track types.

To start creating your dubstep track, tap on the ‘Bass’ track type and then select the ‘Sub Bass’ instrument from the list of available options. This will add a sub bass sound to your track that will form the foundation of your dubstep beat.

Next, tap on the ‘Kick’ track type and select the ‘909 Kick’ instrument from the list of available options. This will add a classic 909 kick drum sound to your track that will help drive your dubstep beat forward.

Once you’ve added these two essential elements to your track, it’s time to start adding some embellishments. Dubstep tracks often make use of heavily-processed vocal samples, so try adding some of these to your track using the ‘Vox’ track type. You can also add in some additional percussion sounds using the ‘Perc’ track type.

Once you’ve added all of the elements you want to your track, it’s time to start mixing everything together. Use the various mixing controls in FL Studio Mobile 3 to adjust the levels of each element in your track until you’re happy with how everything sounds.

When you’re happy with how your mix sounds, hit the ‘Render’ button and choose a format for exporting your finished dubstep track.

What You’ll Need

In order to make dubstep on FL Studio Mobile 3, you’ll need a few things:

-A computer with FL Studio installed
-An iOS device with FL Studio Mobile 3 installed
-An Android device with FL Studio Mobile 3 installed
-A MIDI controller (optional but recommended)

If you don’t have a MIDI controller, you can still make dubstep on FL Studio Mobile 3 by using the on-screen keyboard and drum pads. However, a MIDI controller will give you more control and flexibility when creating your music.

Setting Up

In this section, you will learn how to set up the necessary tools to make dubstep music on FL Studio Mobile 3.

You will need:

Once you have gathered the necessary supplies, you are ready to begin making dubstep music on FL Studio Mobile 3.

The Kick

Without a doubt, the most important part of any dubstep track is the kick. The kick is what propels the track and gives it its undeniable power. To get started, load up FL Studio Mobile 3 and create a new project. Then, add a kick drum to your project by tapping on the “Add Instrument” button and selecting “Kick Drum” from the list of options.

Once you’ve added a kick drum to your project, it’s time to start creating your dubstep beat. For this example, we’ll be using a simple four-on-the-floor pattern. To create this pattern, tap on the kick drum in the first measure and draw in four quarter notes. Once you’ve done that, add another kick drum in the second measure and repeat the process.

Now that you have your basic beat established, it’s time to start adding some flourishes. One of the most commonly used techniques in dubstep is known as “transformative EQ.” This involves using an equalizer to change the timbre of your kick drums mid-track. To do this in FL Studio Mobile 3, tap on the “EQ” button in the upper-left corner of the screen and select “Kick Drum” from the list of options.

Next, boost the frequency of your kick drum around 100 Hz and cut the frequency around 1 kHz. You can also experiment with other frequencies to see what sounds best for your particular track. Once you’re happy with how your kick drums sound, it’s time to add some basslines!

The Bass

As with any genre, nailing the low end is critical when producing dubstep. In this post we’ll go over some tips on how to make a dubstep bass.

When it comes to creating the bass sound in dubstep, there are really only two key things you need to remember: distortion and growl. These two elements are what give dubstep its characteristic sound, and once you learn how to use them you’ll be well on your way to making some great bass lines.

So let’s start with distortion. Distortion is what gives dubstep its signature grit and grime, so it’s important to use it sparingly. A little bit of distortion goes a long way, so don’t overdo it or your bass will start to sound muddy. Instead, focus on using distortion to add texture and interest to your bass line.

One easy way to add distortion is with a plugin like Camel Crusher. Simply instantiate the plugin on your bass track and play around with the settings until you find something you like. Just remember not to overdo it!

Next, let’s talk about growl. Growl is what gives dubstep its nasty edge, so if you’re going for a more aggressive sound then this is the effect you’ll want to use. Again, less is more when it comes to growl, so don’t go overboard or your bass will start to sound ༼ຈل͜ຈ༽クールジャンボ(cool jumbo).

A good growl plugin is Vanguard by Rob Papen. Instantiate this plugin on your bass track and play around with the settings until you find something you like。 Also remember not too overdue it!

The Lead

The lead part of the dubstep song is the melody that stands out the most and is usually the part that is the most memorable. The lead should be catchy and have a good hook to it so that people will want to listen to it over and over again. Many times, the lead will be the main focus of the drop, so it is important to make sure that it is interesting and has a lot of energy.

The Drop

Any good dubstep song contains a powerful “drop.” This is the part of the song where the beat becomes heavier and more intense, often accompanied by thick basslines and synth riffs. You can create your own drop in FL Studio Mobile 3 by following these steps:

1. Begin by creating a simple drumbeat. Start with a basic four-on-the-floor kick drum pattern, then add a snare on beats two and four. you can also add hi-hats on the offbeats (i.e., between the kicks and snares).

2. Once you have your basic rhythm, it’s time to add some bass. program a simple, repeating bassline using one of the software’s synth instruments. for this example, we’ll use the “FM Synth” instrument.

3. Next, add a lead synth melody to your track. this could be anything from abasic melody played on an analog synth to a more complex riff played ona digital instrument like FL Studio Mobile’s “3xOSC” synth.

4. Now it’s time to build up to the drop. Add elements to your track thatwill make the drop sound more dramatic when it finally arrives. Thiscould include adding filtered white noise or rising pitch FX to your leadsynth melody, or adding reverbed claps or cymbal crashes to your drumbeat.

5. When you’re ready for the drop, increase the volume of your basslineand lead synth melody, and add any other elements that will make themore impactful (e.g., reverb, delay, etc.). You can also add effects likestutter edits or filter sweeps to make the drop sound even more dramaticand exciting.

The Outro

To finish your dubstep song in FL Studio Mobile 3, you will need to add an outro. An outro is simply a way to end your song. It can be as simple as a few seconds of silence, or it can be a more elaborate arrangement.

To create an outro, first, add a new pattern to your project and name it “Outro”. Then, add the following elements to your Outro pattern:

-A kick drum
-A snare drum
-A hi-hat
-A bassline

Once you have added these elements, arrange them in whatever order you like. When you are happy with how your Outro sounds, render it to an audio file and export it to your computer.

Exporting

Now that you have finished your song, it is time to export it so you can share it with the world! In FL Studio Mobile 3, you can export your song as an audio file, MIDI file, or video.

To export your song as an audio file:
1. Tap the Share button in the top right corner of the screen.
2. Tap Export Audio.
3. Choose a name and format for your file, then tap Export.
4. Your file will be saved to your device’s storage.

To export your song as a MIDI file:
1. Tap the Share button in the top right corner of the screen.
2. Tap Export MIDI.
