Whenever I attempt it, I always struggle to know what to sample in the first place? I'm always aiming for that deep growl sound to fill in the lows and mids in my drops like Skrillex's mid-range bases, so I download samples such as Voices, running water, anything really, to time stretch and pitch down for that sort of deep growl sound, but it always doesn't go to plan the sound quality when pitching down starts to get a bit muffled and less crisp which is nowhere near what I want and the time stretching doesn't go to plan when I insert notes closely spaced together to play the sound in grains. I know that's it's not exactly ideal for granular synthesis compared to other programmes/VSTs. ***First of all, I use Propellerhead's Reason.

What i'm doing now with granular synthesis at the moment: I'm finding it a bit difficult to get my head around at the moment and thought you guys who produce dubstep must have at least tried/experimented with it before, so i was hoping you would share you tips and tricks with me. I'm looking to find how to get a Skrillex like sounding mid-range bass synth without using 'Modern talking' - like all those amateur producers on youtube - in Massive, because that's just terrible, and I also don't have Ableton/FL studio to use Massive. Well, in particular Granular synthesis and Resampling. I've been struggling lately with my music production.
