Well, I finally participated in one of these. Yay.
I tried pretty hard for this. My main inspiration was from Obscurum by Storyboard for the two drops, and basically every single TheClient dubstep track for the intro.
you can actually pitch kicks and percs around on the machiniste, you probably alredy know that, but you can probably get a more bright dubstepish kick and get it closer to the key you want it to be in.
Yeah, I noticed that. It was the only one I found that was in the right key (even though usually I could care less about getting my drums in the right key) so I used it and suffered the consequences
