Are you people seriously suggesting Skrillex had a ghost producer for SMANS. EL OH EL.

EQ should be used for mixing, not sound design. I try to use as little EQ as possible, it makes the composition better if everything sits in its own range without EQ.

Re: Sampling drums - pro's and cons

If you are using Pre-Processed samples, like Vengeance, Sample Magic, Loop Masters, Prime Loops whatever it is. Layering those kicks on top of each other will give you bad results because all the samples are already fully processed, layered, compressed, EQ'ed etc. Don't just layer samples for the h...

Re: Can someone really explain to me the 3-note rule?

I truly believe it's a bad habit to be spreading your OSC across octaves, you are just losing space in the mix for no reason. If you own an iPhone, there is a free app called Nota (or at least I think it's free). It's a great app to quickly learn some music theory and check your scales/chords etc.

Re: Sampling drums - pro's and cons

tbh i find 100 hz kicks to be pretty weak...for me, 60-80 is the sweet spot I agree, 80hz is the go to THUD freq. if producing Bro Step or Neurofunk something hard like that. Vengeance samples will get you there. If your going Burial status however, those really poppy 100hz kicks are the way to go....

Re: Questions regarding FM8, Massive

I have looked at many tutorials on youtube regarding these two VST's but some don't seem to answer a few questions I have and I was hoping someone here could. -What is the general rule to getting a hardcore dubstep bass? Is there a certain wave you should use or would anything work? -When creating ...

Re: How would you go about replicating this bass?

sounds like a fat and heavily resampled saw wave that pitches down. two layers, same sound, one with the formant filter going on, one dry. No offense, but this is very far off and not correct advice. Hey guys, I was just wondering how you guys with a little more experience would recommend replicati...

Re: Knife Party - Centipede Bass Tutorial

Cool patch, I'm definitely going to give this a go. Out of interest, why did you use Etchs LFO on Thors filters? Why not just run the signal through Etches filters? P.s quite like your "Noisia Reese" patch too. :Q: Forgot all about this thread. Umm, I used Thor out of just playing around,...

Re: Sub bass frequency limit???

I'm using a single oscillator with sine as the wave form, playing in the 0 or 1 octave. Hard to fuck that up, man. You're sine wave is not creating harmonics that are effecting your mix. Low passing/EQ'ing is not necessary by any means and will probably just screw up the purpose of your sine wave. ...

Re: Underworld pad

Try this, I haven't tried but this might get you on the right track. Take 2 Saw Waves, detune them 1-2 cents from one another. Route one wave through one band pass filter, and the other through a separate band pass filter, if possible, pan these two filters separate from each other so ones on the ri...

Re: Skrillex Saws? - (NOT BASS, and not what you think eithe

Thanks.The bouncing to audio tip I hadn't really thought of, and yeah I know layering is key, but my supersaws are never really punchy enough and sound more like pads, and I suppose I'm just looking for tips to give them the power and punch I need.:) Well like I said, a lot of the "punch"...
