Dubstep is usually made at 140 bpm, and is defined by heavy basses, drops, and swinging grooves. Because dubstep tracks have a half-time feel, they can also be measured as 70 bpm. DJ.Studio makes it fun and easy to mix dubstep with an enhanced level of expression.
If you consider it to be a Rock beat, then you have snares on 2 and 4 and choose the slower BPM. If you think of the piece as a 2-step, or ohm-Pah ohm-Pah, then choose the doubled speed and have snares on 3.
I've been told before that a genre such as drum and bass averages a BPM of 160-180, whereas dubstep is around 140 BPM and hip-hop is around 115 BPM. Does anyone know where I can get a list of popular genres with their average BPM?
Dubstep rhythms are usually syncopated, and often shuffled or incorporating tuplets. The tempo is nearly always in the range of 132–142 beats per minute, with a clap or snare usually inserted every third beat in a bar.
Dubstep tends to be around 140BPM, but as you guess, it could also more usefully be around 70BPM, if you decide it “feels” spacier and slower. Both could be right for exactly the same tune, and your software may go either way with it too when auto BPMing for you.
The most common tempo at which dubstep is made is 140 BPM. Some records are produced with a slight deviation from the norm and you can find tracks ranging from 128 to 160 BPM. This usually happens when dubstep is fused with other genres, for example a bass house track that features a dubstep drop.
