i actually hate most dubstep. i have made better songs in fruity loops in less than 20 minutes before.....there are a handful of decent ones though.....but most suck....its like crunk rap....making repetitive beats that are catchy and provide neither and complicated instrumentals nor lyrical value....granted dubstep i realize is not about the lyrics

Interesting... I never HEARD that before.  Maybe contributing some MUSIC instead of negative comments may help.
After all, it is a music thread, not a bash what people listen to thread.
I would like to hear something you produced twenty minutes from now...

Funny thing is I've been using FL Studio or 2 years + 2 years (professionally) + 1 year of Cubase/Logic and to make a quality wobble (with EQs, distortions, reverb, delay etc) it takes me a solid 30 miniutes - 3 hours (Depending on the complexity of the wobble) and the drums will take me at least 30 miniutes to assemble the drums in the sequancer (because the kicks usually have 3 layers and those 3 individual layers are split into 3 parts (Low pass, midrange, High pass) and if you we're to use VSTs not samples it would take even more layers (such as Bassism) you would not only need to layer (+EQ, Distort etc) you will need to control all the oscalators to sines and white noises which takes around 20 minutes per snare and kick (less for hi hats) Composing uplifters can take 45 minutes to hours if you make a quality one that makes use of all instruments (NO BANDPASS FILTERS CHEATING) and actually support a strong drop (took me 2 hours once!) and the intro and outro takes a long time to assemble (usually off sliced patterns)(another 1 - 2 hours) oh and don't get me started on the composing of a song! Everything must be composed in a certain way that is suitable for the human ear (eg. a build up MUST BE a multiple of 4.) There's so much more to touch on like the mastering parts, the way the bridges will enhance the drops the LFO, vocal slicing (EXTREMELY DIFFICULT), Vocoding etc. Rap is just a drum beat (natural sounding) so samples do not need to be processed AT ALL. The hard parts of rap is the lyrics which I find an individual art on its own. Dubstep has lyrics to, but has to be sliced and layered, this takes just as much skill and time to write and rap the lyrics out. Every genre has its own process, but none contrasting to high. Dubstep is art and so is rap hardstyle, house etc.

some will argue justin beiber is art....and one could argue how long it takes for him...or is it her? to make music.

the "20 minutes" was an exaggeration. but when it all boils down, to make the average dub step takes WAY less time to make than other type of music, and creates a music thats sub par by comparison.

i will have to dig up some of my old bands music. i for one have always been a fan of music with actual instruments to make a beat. but personal preference there.

this is the kinda music i like. very little digitalization to it. most of the changes in sound were aquired with foot pedals. i got to meet them a couple years ago while actually on leave from iraq. great guys and alot of great songs.

not live so you can hear the instrumentals better

No no let me tell you something electronic music production is just as hard as making rap/rock if not more. When I first started out with the program I thought I could make Dubstep/rap/rock in 20 minutes too, but the mastering was horrible I used other peoples samples, I even didn't bother about the clashing frequancys which are VERY noticeable on club speakers. Making tracks for yourself is one thing, but when you have to satisfy the world or even a club it comes to a WHOLE DIFFERENT level. You CANNOT use samples you MUST make your own melodies YOU MUST construct your own wobbles on things like Massive. As much as I hate to say it rap is a fairly simple drumbeat, but the real time is involved in the vocals which I believe takes an equal if not less time to construct a Dubstep song. To make 1 good wobble it takes around 20 minutes + a lot more longer to add all the VSTs.

too bad the majority of dubstep doesnt do all that. so actually take the time which is why i said not all is bad, just most. like any brand of music there are always those that take as many shortcuts as possible to produce a sound thats good enough for the idiot masses. you can pull up alot of current dubstep and find plenty of samples in them. you may not realize they are samples right off the bat but they are. its all a matter of skill on how you blend them.
