Making a dubstep track with just a dialup modem sound - M4M

Watch your audio levels at 1:00 and towards the end when the track starts.

"i decided to give myself a little challenge
for a long time i have heard that dubstep sounds like a dialup modem, so i decided to test if the modem could sound like dubstep

every sound is from the opening handshake, ill post the making of video in a few hours, there is no synth and no samples used, even the drums are all based on parts of the modem sound, the bass is pretty clearly shown in the intro from modem buzz to brostep wobble

about 4 total hours, with my hd280 pro, all live built in stuff, no 3rd party

  3. thanks for the share, i recorded the screen with quicktime but it just recorded the leakage from the output into the input instead of actually recording the ableton sound, so i had to crank it 500% in imovie and it's still low and really hummy

  4. next myth i'll test: all dubstep sounds like a door stop, so i'll try to record a few doorstops and try to make a whole song including the drums with that, should be easy for bass and snare, but pretty hard for kicks, it will be a good challenge

  5. great experiment and the result sounds just as good as any other dubstep track imo :-)

  6. here's part 2: the door stopper http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5lMOU9o49so
    the modem was too easy, all kind of noises and tones just perfect for creating drums, basses and everything, so this time i attacked the second most common dubstep myth, the door stopper, so i found myself 2 nice door stopper samples and built a whole song with them, some parts are not recorded, as is all the arrangement as my laptop is wayyyyy too old to record audio and video while producing
