DubTurbo 2.0 – Dubstep Maker X Review

DubTurbo has been creating a lot of buzz lately in the dubstep and music production scene so here’s a review to help you guys decide whether or not you should spend your hard earned money on this program.

To sum it all up, DubTurbo is a “digital audio workstation” that was created with newbies and seasoned production experts in mind.

Think about it… The average cost for a standard DJ setup (i.e. midi keyboard, cables, some VST’s, samples, etc.) you’d be spending upwards of a thousand dollars!

With DubTurbo, all you need is a computer!

The program usually sells for around $140 but you can get a special discount through my site for a fraction of the cost – Only $39.95! - That’s 75% off!

Click here to see if the promotion is still active!

What you can expect when you purchase:

  • A very user-friendly interface that is both easy to understand and easy to use.  The program includes everything you’re looking for in a dubstep maker and probably more.
  • Unlike most other music production programs, DubTurbo uses high quality .wav mastered samples as opposed to plain, old .mp3 files and it’s accessible online and from your desktop.
  • Making music with this program is a piece of cake. You use your standard computer keyboard and mouse to create, drag, copy, edit, and add beats and bars to one of three different screen layouts and panels.
  • There’s even an import option to drop your own music samples into your new beat creations.

The makers of this program also include very nifty video tutorials that teach you exactly what’s needed to turn you from beginner to pro.

If somehow you can’t manage with all this, there’s an extremely helpful online community at your disposal.

DubTurbo even provides you with tips and tricks to help get your music exposed and making you money!

I have product tested other programs such as Fruity Loops Studio, Adobe Audition, and everyone’s favorite Apple software (sarcasm) Garage Band… none of these are as straight-forward to use as DubTurbo.

They’re all very complicated and require lots and lots of patience.

When you have a sick idea for a beat, the last thing you need is to be frustrated and angry with the software you’re using.

You won’t believe what you can do with just 10 minutes using DubTurbo. It’s incredibly easy to turn that tune playing in your head into that hot beat bumping through your speakers!

Get your copy of DubTurbo now!

As a fellow music enthusiast and aspiring music producer, I recommend picking up a copy of DubTurbo.

It’s so simple and easy to use.  You can create really impressive beats in just a matter of minutes.

You’ve obviously taken the time to read through this article so take my word for it and check out this dubstep maker today!

I promise you won’t regret it!

Maskarade – The Newest Project From Brandon Bolmer

Brandon Bolmer – Some of you may have heard of him and some of you may not.  The first time I heard of Brandon Bolmer was years and years ago.  It must have been 2003 when he was frontman of a band called “Yesterday’s Rising”.  The band instantly caught my attention with Brandon’s unique singing voice and fearsome growls.  I followed Yesterday’s Rising through their 2 EPs, 1 full length album, and various unreleased songs until their demise in February 2010 when Brandon announced he would be the new lead singer for the post-hardcore band “Chiodos”.

This new venture turned out to be even more short-lived than his previous.  In March of 2012, after releasing 1 full length album with Chiodos, Bolmer announced his decision to leave the band to pursue his own project.  This new project is what I’m hoping to inform the dubstep community about…

The former Yesterday’s Rising and former Chiodos frontman has begun work on a solo project under the moniker “Maskarade”.  He now produces and provides vocals for dubstep-esque/electronica songs (much like Sonny Moore, who like a caterpillar in a cocoon left the post-hardcore band “From First To Last” to evolve into the dubstep butterfly, “Skrillex”).  To hear some of Bolmer’s new music, you can head over to his Sound Cloud page (soundcloud.com/iammaskarade).  There, you will find four original songs plus one remix of up-and-coming female vocalist Kimbra’s hit “Settle Down”.

Although Maskarade’s style does not have the hard-hitting heavy drops of artists like Skrillex and Bassnectar, I must recommend downloading the collection of songs that Bolmer has made available via Sound Cloud.  Not only do I find the music to be a great listen, but it’s a great example of just how possible it is to make a break through in this dubstep industry.  All you need is a dubstep maker like DubTurbo and you could be producing your own music just as simply and easily as Brandon Bolmer!

Anyway, keep your eye on Maskarade and your ears on his tunes.  Bolmer has announced that he is working on an EP so hopefully we’ll finally see some officially released music soon!  Below, you will find a teaser video for Maskarade with music from his track “Ready” (Cinematic Version).  Enjoy!

 

Electronic Music Will Invade New York At The Electric Zoo

In the ever-changing world of music, there is one type of music that has been getting significantly more attention in recent years. Electronic music has a fan base that seems to just keep expanding, spreading to different genres and attracting people from all walks of life. This August, the Electric Zoo festival is coming to New York and bringing close to 100 artists during the 3-day festival.

The Electric Zoo will take over Randall’s Island Park so that tens of thousands of fans can let loose, dancing to the nonstop beats that help define the music. The headliners of the festival are grossly popular DJ’s David Guetta and Tiesto, who use their talents in rhythm and electronics to draw immense crowds to any venue they play. No matter what a person’s normal music taste is, it is nearly impossible to find someone who can sit still during an electronic music performance. Typically, fans dance, twirl glow sticks, and jump up and down to the beat mixed by electronic artists.

Pierre David Guetta, originally from France, is better known by simply David Guetta, and got his start as a club DJ in the ’80s and ’90s. In recent years, he has done collaborations with Akon, Kelly Rowland, Kid Cudi, and LMFAO. His songs have reached as high as #1 in UK music charts, and he was recently called the worlds most popular DJ, as decided by a poll in DJ Mag. He has won two Grammy awards and numerous other awards, and his participation in the Electric Zoo festival will definitely help draw crowds to New York.

Another headliner, Tiesto, is a DJ from The Netherlands whose popularity has grown exponentially in the last couple years. Ranked #3 in the DJ Mag popularity poll, his work is helping to bring house music into the mainstream. Though he usually describes his music as electro house or progressive house, he also represents the lesser-known genre of dubstep.

With so many different acts, and such big names as David Guetta and Tiesto, Electric Zoo is predicted to be a huge end-of-summer event this year in New York. Fans will show up in flocks, rain or shine, to listen to these DJ’s mix their music and drop beats. Attendees will dance, dance, dance until the last song ends, and it is guaranteed to entertain even those who don’t typically listen to dubstep or electronic music.

Dubstep Maker X – Skrillex @ Bamboozle Festival Recap

Every year, the Bamboozle festival comes to New Jersey and draws fans from all over the tri-state area. In recent years, the festival has taken place at the Meadowlands, but this year Bamboozle returned to its original location in Asbury Park. The acts range from punk rock to alternative, and sometimes even rap, but the talk of the 2012 fest was electronic dance music visionary Sonny “Skrillex” Moore.

Playing in a deejay booth that resembled a space-age army tank, Skrillex headlined the first day of the 3-day festival and had the huge crowd on its feet from beginning to end. As is typical at electronic music shows, attendees of all ages swung glow sticks and glow necklaces, jumping up and down to the beat of the sounds Skrillex was creating with his turntables, controls, and mostly, his imagination.

His 90-minute show was a nonstop party, but what most concert-goers didn’t know was that Skrillex was putting on another show that night. After his Bamboozle slot, he made his way to the Stone Pony and rocked another set. Though smaller, the second crowd was equally enthusiastic, dancing to the music as if in a trance.

Whether electronic music is your typical “type” of music or not, it is hard to deny the amount of sheer talent that goes into producing the types of songs that Skrillex plays. The crowds at both New Jersey venues showed their appreciation simply through their enthusiasm, dancing, swinging glow sticks, singing, and even fist-pumping to every beat.

The genre of electronic music is quickly growing, and if Skrillex’s show at the Bamboozle festival is any indication, it isn’t going anywhere soon. Crowds are welcoming the creativity-driven music because of it’s juxtaposition, which is best explained as a bar of soft vibraphone followed by an attack of distorted bass synthesizer. It is so different from any type of music today, and Skrillex is making it something that almost everyone can enjoy, whether their usual music style is punk rock, country, or even rap.

The Bamboozle festival welcomes different types of music every year, and Skrillex was a valuable addition to this year’s lineup. Asbury Park was bumping with nonstop bass lines, and attendees were treated to 90 minutes of creativity, imagination, and innovation. With any luck, Skrillex will return to a New Jersey stage in the near future so that fans can once again get lost in the music and dance the night away.

Ultra Music Festival – Miami’s Biggest Electronic Music Event

Every March, electronic music artists and fans take over Miami, Florida, during the Ultra Music Festival. The festival takes place in Bicentennial Park or Bayfront Park, and attracts hundreds of thousands of people every year. Though it started out as a 1-day event, Ultra Music Festival got bigger every year, eventually expanding to a 3-day festival as of 2011.

For the first time in 2011, fans attending the festival were required to purchase a 3-day pass instead of a single day ticket. Pre-sale tickets sold out in 20 minutes in 2012, and ranged from $149-229. The growing popularity of electronic music has caused tickets to sell out faster every year, and some fans even pay $599 for VIP passes. Interestingly, the Ultra Music Festival is crossing the Atlantic and expanding to international crowds. In June 2012, the festival will take place in Warsaw, Poland and feature some of the world’s biggest DJ’s.

Headliners for the 2012 Miami show included Avicii, Skrillex, David Guetta, and Tiesto. Swedish DJ Tim Bergling, better known as Avicii, was ranked #6 in DJ Magazine’s top 100 DJ’s in the world in 2012. During his set at Ultra Music Festival, he was joined onstage by the legendary Madonna, further proving just how popular electronic music is getting. The 2012 festival attracted 165,000 fans to Miami, and shattered Miami’s record for tickets sold for a single event.

Due to the increased popularity of the genre and the festival itself, dates to the 2013 festival have already been announced. From March 22-24, 2013, Ultra Music Festival will once again come to Miami and draw hundreds of thousands of electronic music fans to Bayfront park for three days of DJ’s, glow sticks, and dancing. Tickets for the event are expected to sell out within minutes, and as the event gets closer, the top DJ’s in the world are sure to sign on to play this mega-popular festival once again.
