I'm trying to find someone that specifically makes dubstep with ableton 9. I have few questions if I could just ask them i'll be out of your hair but I'm really interested and hoping someone is out there that is willing to answer them.

I'm basically trying to understand the concepts here. i've been working with some killer sounds, but the intricate complexity of different sounds and the layering of basses is what my questions deal with. I was wondering when creating a dubstep track, how does you arrangement work? how do you put the arrangement together. Now in the main stream music industry...you got your intro chorus etc.. but my question deals with each individual sound. When you create it do you create sub med and hi for each individual unique sound you throw in or do you only create it for the main sound flow?

p.s. i'm HORRIBLE at EQING, I wish I was more competent in it. Any suggestions in that? If I layer 3 instruments into a group, creating sub mid and hi as one sound and then have three other sounds also created the same way, How do I make it so that all three groups can play together without sounding muddy? Suggestions?

That depends.. you can either use samples but that will give you the same bsic sound as every other person out there or you can create you own unique library of audio samples from scratch and adjust the eq frequencies of each so that they don't bleed into each other and produce that muddyness you wish to avoid.
If you think about different aspects of a sound that can change over time, we have a total of five domains that we can control:
- Height (dynamic range)
- Width (the stereo panorama)
- Depth (how close or far from the listener the sound is)
- Color (how the sound is distributed across the frequency spectrum)
- Texture (distortion and saturation)

An Introduction To Dubstep Production

Not a dubsteb producer. and i use Cubase 7.5 not Ableton. EQing the lower frequencies is notoriously tricky. Take previous advice and look on Youtube for tutorials. Also if there are any specific dubstep producers you like, why not follow them on twitter or facebook and ask for their advice? I have found one or two producers in the genres I'm interested in (trance, electro, pop) are willing to share their expertise or even have their own Youtube channels and websites specifically for that purpose.
