Here we go. Let's see how Ace is gonna teach Streak how to dubstep.
Chapter 3: The Tricks of the Trade
I looked over the table in front of me with no clue what anything did. Vinyl was standing to the side of me in front of a panel that had buttons all over it and Ace was standing in front of a laptop. He began to talk.
"Welcome to our own tutorial on dubstep production. Typically a tempo of 140 BPM is selected. First we begin with a simple kick and snare pattern, like so."
Vinyl began tapping on the pad board creating a simple beat. Ace saved the beat to repeat.
"Next its time to add some hi-hats and cymbals to fill those spaces."
They did the same as before and then Ace walked to a keyboard.
"Add some modulated bass lines, and be sure to make them heavy."
He pressed a key on the keyboard that created a heavy bass sound.
"Why not try adding a synth lead in the higher register. Perhaps some sound effects for pads."
Vinyl began tapping on the board to create the sounds.
"And now you are ready for the most important part of any dubstep anywhere." Ace said as he muted all the sounds. "The drop."
All the beats came back and Ace and Vinyl were playing on their instruments. The constant changes in the tones made the sounds interesting. The music they created was fantastic. Then Ace muted the music again.
"For extra brutality, try adding a beat down section." Vinyl said as the levels were brought back up with a new rhythm. Ace let me work the bass while he did some recording on the computer. He then muted the bass after a good while leaving only the beat and pads playing.
"And if you really want to scare the living shit out of your audience, try bringing the levels down and ta-" She was cut off as the music became un-muted. It nearly made me jump.
"And taking them by surprise." She finished. This time I was prepared so I went back to controlling the bass lines. We all did our parts to create the music and then after a while we all stopped.
"Wow, singing, bass AND dubstep? You're a musical prodigy!" Vinyl said, impressed.
"I guess it was just easy learning it, I mean I was learning from the best." I said.
"Hold up there hotshot." She said flattered. "We still need to see how well you do with a crowd. We're opening tomorrow night."
"Well Im gonna be ready for that. Say why is this place closed now anyways?"
"It was never open." She replied. "I only did work at public events like Pinkie's parties. Now that we have this place though we need at least two DJ's to run it."
"And we are gonna be the 2 best DJ's in Equestria."
She giggled and moved closer to me, almost touching.
"We'll get there. For now though we need to work on getting this place open, and thanks to you we can do it now." She said, her rose eyes staring directly into mine. "Go get some rest Hotshot. Opening night is gonna be going pretty late."
"Alright I'll see you tomorrow then." I said.
She walked to the door and opened it. "See ya later Hotshot!" She called from the door and then closed it. I switched off all the equipment and headed up to my room. I had a warm feeling inside, a feeling I haven't felt in a long time. I got into bed and thought about how Vinyl was attracted to me. I then fell into a deep and comfortable sleep.
Sorry if its so short. I needed a filler to show how Sharp Streak learns how to DJ and dubstep. Along with some romantic development. OC's are still open to everypony. Brohoof to anyone who knew the song.
