ok guys, i tried to make a video and it ended in tears so i'll attempt to write it up.

its actually incredibly simple really, load up massive and choose the deepthroat oscillator. wavetable position doesnt really matter, just stick it where you like it. next you need a scream filter. again i'd set this where ever you think sounds good, but i stuck an lfo on the "scream" knob to give it a bit of movement.

in the fx section ive got a classic tube distortion (set to about 50% wet and 50% driven) and a dimension expander. once again just set the parametres wherever your ears tell you too. you'll also need to add a tiny bit of feedback (around 9 o'clock ish). finally i added a sine shaper as an insert with the drive at around 2 o'clock and the wet at 100%. this is the basic sound in massive (and its already quite tasty).

the rest of the sound is all in the insert section of my midi track. distortion (and lots of it) comes from camel crusher but you can use whatever you prefer. ive used several instances of it adding a slight amount of distortion each time rather than fucking it up in one go. in between each distortion ive added sugarbytes wow filter a few times (which i cant say enough good things about. really fantastic filter vst for dubstep). ive used the gurgle and rejecter presets and tweaked the lfos on them to give it some movement, but i believe the effect can be achieved with any filter using band reject settings and automation. it seems to me that filtering out mid frequencies is the way to create that snarling aggresive sound (think its used a lot with dnb reeces) and ive used a really good free band reject filter before (google!) but seriously guys, that wow filter is the shit and is well worth saving up for.

finally, remove all frequencies below 90, drench in reverb/delay and stick a sub under it (i duplicated the midi track and changed the patch from evil monster rape to a lovely sine wave). and that, believe it or not, is it. play low notes (obviously) and do some pitch bends.

OH, and one last thing. if this tutorial has helped you or you just feel like helping me out, give my track a play on soundcloud. i used this patch as the main basis of the track and i think its a good example of what can be done with it. http://soundcloud.com/phallic-mcdynamite/incident

if anyone has any more questions feel free to ask! thanks guys =]

*Cubase noob here*

The stuff in the column on the left side of the screen are the effects you have added to that channel I take it?

First off, Big ups to Phallic Mcdynamite for re creating the 'Scatta Growl.'
Its definitely the best attempt I have heard yet and it's really cool of you to share the knowledge.

The sound I have always been most curious about in 'Scatta' is the sound at 1:06 - 1:07 (The Stabby sound) It's hench.
I would like to try and re create it but I have NO IDEA where to start. -q-

I like the firefox screen capture plugin. Lets you record outside firefox too. Good quality for tut's because the frame rate is low (5 is highest with capture fox, 30 is normal). When a video has lot of movement that sucks but for tut's it's ideal.

You can also use cam studio, which is nice enough when it works (not mac tho)

There are so few tutorials for Albino. With most Massive tutorials i can get the idea and work from there but this i have no idea how to do in Albino
