Ok, guys, i'm mark more and I'd like to share some wisdom i learned from repeatedly listening to chillstep ( dubstep, but not the brostep one). If you'd listen to an adventure club track or a skrux track, the first thing you'll notice aside from the vocals is the sub bass( it's the vibration-like bass you hear that is so deep it pretty much fills in the empty spaces of sound). When i make them chords i use the subbass and it would be a nice foundation for the melody and the 2/4 beat( that's the kick-then-snare beat). Also i make them around 130-140 bpm. ( post dubstep is 130 bpm and brostep is 140)
That's practically everything i currently know. Now i need help for rise fxs. Does anyone know how to tweak automation for a nice bass drop? Would really appreciate your help. Thanks!
....coming soon in Builderz Pro....
Sneaky Pete Productions has a riser set in one of his Caustic addons on the playstore. Another trick you can do while having the riser in the song is to set an automation for the songs volume to raise while the riser section is going up and then have it drop back down to normal during the drop.

Dance&DubStep content pack has a nice little rizer preset, Builderz Extreme has preset Rize Fall and Boom, which has alot of rizers and sinkers etc...
All of my songs have drops,so even if I don't make a lot of dubstep(which I don't)I can give you some tip:
Master Eq:starting it off with just bass and slowly fading in the mids and highs can be one way,and once you are doing a rising in pitch drop you can give a half a bar fade of the mids and highs,then shutting off the mixer volume of the synths for half a bar for vocals.You can also use a multi filterfor this.
Using a autowah as a low pass filter can also be helpful but requires a bit of fiddling
For pattern automation you can either increase the shortness of the lead,snare or ever else you're usin and at some point start raising the notes in the pattern editor or by putting pattern automation on the octave,semi cent and every time it reaches top of the cents,you can make it start next semi when it reaches the top of the semi,raise the octave and so on.
Anyway sorry for long post I actually have more tips but these are all I think of right now.

Super thanks guys! I'll look at my automation again and would start fiddling some more. And i think I'd get my hands on those sound packs, too. You'll be the first ones to hear the next track i'm making, it's a promise!
