Producing breakbeat styles - what you need!
Breakbeats are at the heart of styles such as drum and bass, dubstep and electro. The bassline also plays a crucial role and is often created with deep, booming sub-basses and modulated synthesizers. Hi-hats and snares are used to create fast and complex rhythm patterns that create the characteristic energy of breakbeat styles. The kick drum is usually powerful, short and well-defined to leave room for long and punchy basses. Pro tip: Our kick drum editor Chop Suey is fantastic for creating ultra short and crisp kicks for drum and bass!
