Re: The Official Growl Bass Thread

FM8 reese patch with pretty simple processing (automated notch eq, mb compression, mb distortion, chorus, pp delay). To get proper sub movement I layered a modified instance of the patch where the main modulator instead acted as a sine carrier.

Re: The Reese Bass Thread

Reese/growl experts - would you consider this a reese or a growl or neither? On a fundamental level. Like I know reese is all about detuned saws and I honestly avoid all discussion of growls so I don't really know for sure what the fundamental characteristics of a growl are, but I think it has to d...

Re: Lush Trap-like Kick (How I do?)

I would do it in FM8 (primarily for its great envelopes): Start with a ratio 1 sine carrier, run a modulator that is offset to your carrier. Play with the envelope of pitch, amplitude and modulation until you find something that kinda works. Apply some EQ'ing/distortion to it. You might want to laye...

Re: Interesting talking bass "phrases". Made any?

Look up what vowels are and then emulate it with the EQ. Don't overwork it, just find something that kind of works and build from that. Be gentle with distortion and build your sounds one step at a time. Be honest with your sound when sound designing -- only keep plugins/settings that actually impro...

Re: How do I make my basslines sound full?

A weak bassline simply can't be remedied by reverb/delay. If someone here is stuck on not being able to make a full sounding bassline I don't see how adding short reverb or delay is going to help them get there. Basically you use reverb/delay to add dimension to your sound, and indeed you can do a l...

Re: How do I make my basslines sound full?

These basslines are all about overtones and midrange content. When building such sounds you use the whole frequency spectra (mostly mids) to attenuate and give character to one specific bass-note. There's no set recipe on how to make it but the main principles involve using layering and distortion. ...

Re: How do producers make sounds stand out?

It really boils down to sound design, arrangement and mix. Spend hundreds upon hundreds of hours dealing with each of these and you'll get there eventually.

I don't care to answer your question in any other way, the topic is simply too large to cover.

Re: Describe it in 3 sentences: Compression



Here's a good analogy on the basics of how a compressor work. It's more than three sentences but I hope it helps.
