There are a few basic "rules" to making Dubstep. I'm new at it and therefore by no means an expert.

First, tempo. Dubstep is largely played in 4/4 at 140 BPM, usually emphasis on the first beat and a snare hit on the third, giving the feel of a slow 70 BPM beat. A lot of dubstep has a swing to the rhythm.

Second, bass. Most of the true rhythmic qualities come from that big "wobble" bass sound. The "wobble" is usually achieved by using a lowpass filter on the bass. Try using an LFO to control the cutoff and another LFO to adjust the speed of the first LFO. This method isn't perfect, intricate programming of the cutoff filter is a lot better sounding, but it's definitely a place to get started. Often times the bass is layered, try creating two identical bass sounds with the same lowpass automation and notes and then tweak the harmonic frequencies and resonance of the second synth. Also, keep away from the low-low range with your cutoff or use another bass playing the same notes to keep the bass sounding beefy.

There's a lot more I could say, but I think this is a good a starting point as any. Good luck and have fun steppin'.
