High Rankin Music Production Masterclass - Dubstep in Ableton Live
www.pointblankonline.net/cours... - We were very excited to welcome to the Point Blank studios dubstep DJ/producer High Rankin to go through some of his tracks in Ableton Live and start to build a new one from scratch.
Labelled as one of 'the scenes most eccentric artists', High Rankin's exuberant personality never fails to draw in the masses and cause mayhem on the dancefloor. After signing to Underdogs Management in the summer of 2008 he went on to release material on Herve's Cheap Thrills label and put the motions in place for the launch of his own label Suicide Dub. He's remixed tracks for the likes of Missy Eliot, Cypress Hill and Amon Tobin and also secured a publishing deal with Bucks Music Group.
He re-launched his label in June 2010 which has since gone on to release various compaliation albums and material from Zardonic, Temper D and Cliffhanga.

"some choppy vocal shit that is very popular with the youth of today" hahahahaa the mindset of a producer
Two things I learnt from this: 1) You don't HAVE to know every little thing about every little thing 2) Don't over think the process I spent years learning about the tech side thinking its paramount, but its not, the music is. Anything goes, its creative, use presets and samples if you want, add window washing noises if you will.. Use your ears and just write tunes! I didn't take a single note in this video and I'm all the better for it. Thanks Mr. Rankin you sir are a fucking demon.
Every key has a relative key that is 5 notes down from where that key is. They usually go very well together because they have the more notes in common than any other scale, so they harmonise really well.
I LOVE YOU High Rankin! Such an inspiration source!
thanks pointblank! this is GREAT!
Good video. Cool song in the beginning.
Thank you for this amazing upload. I really appreciate it.
Loved this. Rankin is hilarious and great at what he does. More interviews like this, please!
I like that stepper trick in massive. And very helpful talk and recommendations. Thanks!
The process of making a track and patches from the ground up was very useful to see. He clearly knows what he's doing but doesn't explain his choices very well. In any case it is great to see him composing 'instinctively' and clearly he's got a lot of experience at knowing what works when it comes to quickly creating patches.
you have no idea how much respect i have for you guys after getting will on here!
crammed a hell of a lot in to an hour here, very nice!
LOVE MASTERCLASS THANKS
High Rankin, you are hilarious! :))) Nice tutorial @pointblankonline and High Rankin!
very very well said, thank you!
russel howard works for point blank?
there are so many phrases in here which would be perfect to sample before a drop... soooo many!
Complete legend
I am a Rankin Audio Customer... This was a pleasure
this was helpful! thanks!
I knew about he's sample packs, but not about the himself. Turns out the guy is hilarious! I'm not into dubstep, but watched the whole thing. Good job!
Very well said sir.
True statement. Burial has his heart in it for sure, although he's making a totally different style. My statement might have been a bit generalizing... this dude's attitude towards producing just amazed me at the time!
Cool!
were this shool is located??? usa or uk ??
Hell ya! wow thanks!!!!!
this video encouraged me to but ableton live thanks for the tutorial :p
how did he curve the automation at 27:33? can you only do that with fades?
Does anyone know where he got the "GO" Vocal Shout from? I need !!
I thought the production portion of this was quite dull, but the discussion during the second half was really good and informative.
Ahaha XD Turn on the autocaptions XD Seriously, such a helpful hour! I would HAPPILY pay for this kind of tuition!
"Lets quantize that shit" loving the technical terms :)
WHAT EQ tool is that at the beginning. I love the visual for it!
somebody know where to get those UD_Bankpatches?
what is that bass sample and where can i get that
Does anyone know where to get the 'Go' sample from 2:13 and on ?
whats the song at the beginning and at the end!!!! Im dying to know!!!!!!!
His tracks are sick, that's more important than some theory behind this (Although it is interesting...) And he can make it sound the way he want
His t-shirt is epic
Do anyone know what the song he starts talking about is called ?
What's the song at the start called ?
How did he get his "Go" Samples?
whats the name of the song he shows in the beginning??
i must said this is a good tut for making bassline's using samples
Ah, thanks!
What's the song at the start?
what plugin is his EQ?
Where do you think he gets those samples to create samples from bruv? Thin air.. He's used drum samples from other packs and processed and combined them in his own way, same as everyone. As well as creative mashing from bass and synth lines. Its a combination of them all to create his own flavour of samples.
thanks :)
He seems like such a nice guy
i feel the exact same way..lets be friends. whats your soundcloud? and or whatever you use
What's the name to the song in the intro?
What's the song in the intro?
The basses he uses from sample packs are ones he made and sells on loopmasters. He doesn't use other peoples bass samples packs. He just likes working with wav rather then midi when he is using things like growls and such. And having all your basses already processed and bounced out is easier then having to process them all for each new song.
I wish his voice was at the same level as the music. :( lovin it so far other than that
Whats the name of the song at 2:00
I keep trying to swat away that spider in your picture lol
Great Video! I just wish i was able to hear what the students were asking..
whats that eq
thnx
I have to get that skrillex t-shirt .... Does any1 know where did he get it !!!?!
Why didn't you do the audio feed in stereo?
I know your not the actual producer but can you tell me whether the synth at around 8:58 is looped? Would be really helpful :) Great video very intertaining as well as informative, high rankin is one of the best xD
nice shirt
i'm a current pointblank student? is there anywhere i can download this?
I'm bored of schools activity.Always ask me to do something that is not me! Here i am,learning to control my mouse and keyboard to make some good music.
Haha, love the Modern Talking joke at 20;30 ish
what software is this?
love the ridiculously proper accent!
epic beard
Dont quote me but i think it is from Run Dmc - Peter Piper It breaks out into acapella for a sentence at the end of a phrase about 1/2 way in (we all know how the story GOs) Its on several scratch records or obviously you could sample it from the original
where is that
High Rankin is cool, I saw him in Kiev twice
Not specially at dubstep, but all kinds of music its all about the structure,flow,Eq etc..skills you know.
05:31 Xavier from Justice in the crowd! :D
High Rankin made it himself. He printed 100 and they've all sold out!
+1 on the Drum and Bass scene, there used to be hu our in the early days...then money and pretence. I make house music now, it has got exciting again and people in that genre have fun and women are sexier.
high rankin should deffo become an english teacher when hes done with dubb. wish he was my english teacher
whats the name of the song?

gotta start somewhere :) i do agree tho..
Is that Russel Howard on the mic?
keep rocking, free download on high rankin's soundcloud
Watch out we got a high rankin imitation
It's not my thing either really but you'd be surprised what you can take away from watching some things you dislike. There is usually always some kind of good nugget of info. It seems a few of these VIP artist masterclasses are simply the artist showing up to the studio and talking, without much prep beforehand. Anyway, we just bite the bullet and try to learn something with what is provided.
Need Hip Hop Courses !
more brostep ~.~
I guess I should run this video to my compressor bus eh? lol
Forget how to wobble and resampling, it's all about mixing and structure. Took me a while to sink that in lol.
"Hey bro ,nice tune.Listen to mine" HAHAHA.
Excellent facial topiary going on there :-)
he used the bass growl sample's from his own sample pack.
29:29 SHIT JUS GOT REAL
