Do any of you guys make drum 'n bass or dubstep with your SIDs?

In my recent experience, I have found that having an 8580 is crucial to these types of basslines. yea yea, I know 6581 is the "grittier" little bugger, but it fails at pushing sub-end and juicy filter action. With mixing waveforms on the 8580, I can regain loads more grit from something like pulse+saw...

With that all said, I hope you find this track to give you inspiration to bring out the filth in your SID. Dub n' Bass It isn't really done yet, mostly due to the fact I haven't installed my second SID in my 8580 machine. Also it will eventually be lots longer.. Still trying to tweak my kick to get it a little clearer in the mix, but my snare is just where I want it.

Tell me what you think, and show me your Drum 'n Bass!

nice, i like the sound of your bass there. i use 2x 6581 sids, deffinately grittier, thinking of maybe getting a 88580 set up too. i mostly write techno/gabber with the c64 but have flirted about with dnb etc too. check out my soundcloud....

Very nice bass, I like! I must also learn how to make better instruments..

I had first both 8580 and 6581 sid chips on my C64, but I removed 6581 chip and put two 8580 sid chips. I like 8580 filters more than 6581 and now they also sounds similar..

electriclifeform, you have also very nice tracks there
