I Seem to be lost. I really want to make such music, but I cant seem to get the timing right. I'm thinking EndUser/ Kid606/ Bong Ra. style.
Any tutorials, suggestions, etc?
I'm working in FLS.
Thanks guys :)

Since you're usually working with samples so distorted that they've no dynamic range left with this breakcore madness type stuff, my best tip is to leave teeny-tiny gaps of silence between your hits (or at least some of them). On the order of milliseconds, not even enough for your brain to register it as a gap. Stops things turning to undefined mush when you're throwing the noise around at full pelt in those glitchy breakcore tunes. Give it a try if you're struggling with timing. Things should sound a lot punchier and tighter straight away.
