Sub Bass in massive

[Heartless]

I managed to get a good clean sound out of massive using the 3 oscs set to B-Pulse setting. Then add whatever flavor you want to the effects chain/processing blah blah. I tend to like a dirtier sub myself so I add a weeeeeeeee bit of white noise and bit crush, then a low pass filter. I liked how it sounded

Just use a sine wave. Adding effects ruins your sub bass.

actually not always. what I've been trying lately is forwarding the sub to a send where I distort it and then hi-pass and bring it back in with the clean sine. It gives the sub some flavor and power and the sub can then still be heard by people without subwoofers.

Well yeah layering on top of your sub is okay. Just kills me when I hear people say they bitcrush their sub bass.
