Re: Spag Heddy Lazer?

part of what you hear is a basic lazer sound. But.. That's being layered with part of the growl, and the sub. Messing with the envelopes will yield the proper movement. But I'd look toward layering at least a few different sounds, and sharply eq'd and mixed in a group channel, so as to make sure the...

Re: How to make a "riddimbass" in massive [Tutorial]

Would like to hear the finished product for shits and giggles, but I would certainly like to thank you for the time you put in for this contribution. This is a nice and thorough tutorial (for whatever sound it generates ;) )

Re: The Prototypes - Abyss, Razor LFO bass help please.

I PROMISE you will get much closer results from using an envelope. And it also seems that there is a nice amount of distortion after the created movement. So either resample or do some nice long fx chain that gives that meaty-ness (that's a bunch of gently layered distortion/saturation in the mids)...

Re: [VIDEO] Stray makes a track in 10mins

Ya know, my biggest take aways from these type of timed production challenges, are how people can see how a track get's started and evolves to the ending point (is something ever really finished?)....Anyways, it's cool to see that the pad was pretty much how the track started and holds the main vibe...

Re: How do I pitch a kick with a moving sub?

a 'moving' sub doesn't really mean anything if it's in key...Given that, finding the pitch of a kick sample is really what you're after... Use your ears, spectrum analyzer, and other (common) instruments for comparison i.e. piano...stuff your ears are familiar with to bring the pitch of the kick clo...

Re: Replicating this sound....

Are you looking for timbre or how it's automated?

Generally these sounds are layered and automated very clean/tight. Timbre is your typical saw/square or derivative, FM is another candidate too of course....As always, a sub layered and following the same automation, either w/ pitch or amp..

I would add that nvidia is much better in my experience. And noways is right again. If you're overall objective (besides performance) is audible noise reduction, cooling is paramount. At some point creating a diagram of pros and cons of what you might gain vs sacrificing for overall objective really...

Re: Driving wob sort of sound, Ghoul bass?

You need to have the harmonics on the mid/slight upper mids come out from a low pass filter...However you do this (meaning which sort of fx chain) will determine the end timbre of the sound..the example you have provided would depend on some chorus/delay/reverb and perhaps even more specifically add...

you need to learn how to layer a kick, which apparently you already know what you like, with sub bass...Keeping in mind how sub bass can be modulated to give you the effect you want. Use EQs, and compression to make something 'fit' together..
