Use a MIDI drum instrument or plugin in your digital audio workstation (DAW). 2 Add variations to the drum pattern to introduce dynamics.

10 tips to help you make an industrial dance bass using the VITAL VSTi
10 tips to help you make an industrial dance bass using the VITAL VSTi: Start with a Heavy and Aggressive Oscillator: Choose a waveform in VITAL that has a powerful and gritty character, such as a sawtooth or pulse wave.

The ten best ways to market your music on the web

Is it about you?
I gave a friend of mine a song of mine to remix since he heard a few of my new songs and that one he seemed drawn to in the first listen. So, I gathered the info on the song and rendered the vocal tracks as a track to be lined up and have new parts added to in this new remix. A week later I ran into the same friend and he told me he'd been working on the song and that he thought I had written the song about him and his relationship that had recently ended. I tried to explain that the song had been written long before he was even starting to have problems with his relationship and while the song was about betrayal it had nothing to do with him. I explained to him that I was touched that the message of the song was universal enough that he could related to it, it was a bit surprising that he thought that the song was about him.
