I'd advise downloading a demo of renoise, watching the videos on their site to get the hang of using the program. for samples check this site as its got more than enough to get you started. then experiment.
realise you will not sound like venetian after two hours.
in all probability your first efforts will sound shit but persevere, it wont happen over night. most of all try and have fun.

hope this helps and good luck with it

My best advice to anyone who is trying to make breakcore is don't!

Try and make a couple of more straight up dance tunes first. Make a simple jungle/dnb tune to get your head around cutting breaks and beat programing. Make a Hardcore tune to get to know how to make gabba kicks. Make a Techno tune to learn about synthesis. The chances are that if you start trying to do something simple from a Bcore perspective you will subconsciously start fucking with it anyway and come out with something more interesting.

Breakcore is like a reaction against various different genres but it helps to know how to produce these different styles first. If you learn the "rules" that govern most genres of dance music thats when you can start fucking with them.

In terms of general production advice try

http://www.soundonsound.com/articles/Technique.php

there are hundreds of articles about production techniques. Its more from a traditional recording angle but the principles can be transfered to any kind of audio produciton.

get copy of the amen break
get some nasty bass samples
get some gabba kick samples
trawl kvr for freeware plugins like dbglitch, buffer override, etc
bang it all into sequencere of choice (renoise ftw!)
voila - breakcore - tho probably not very original breakcore

immitate someone you admire. Pay attention and get it spot-on. Then change it in a way you think would make it sound better. You should find you'll slowly evolve your own style and your personality will help shape it. No one creates their own sound when they're starting out, so don't feel bad about it. Remember, most people play other artists' songs when they learn guitar

try and have something in mind when you're making a track, I mean like make it about *something*, anything you like. But don't just say; ooh let's make a twisted & dark dnb rinser. You may find the track will flow a lot easier when you're making it, if you do it like this.

some people make tons and tons of little tracks and ideas when they're starting out, and some people work on the same thing over and over until it's "done" (like me). either technique works... go with whatever's comfortable.

But I will say, if you're getting bored working on something, move on ... it's supposed to be fun too

i would tend to agree. it seems like innovation just happens sometimes, but it really starts going when you do your research and let yourself be influenced by other artists.

as far as breakcore goes, the number 1 thing is having patience. there is no plugin or sequencer that will do the work for you. the best tracks are made by taking no shortcuts and working things out.

yep agreed. Plugins have their place, but don't make it your 'sound' because it won't be just yours

seems fair to me!
