I'm looking to make an early-era dubstep bass. Best example I can think of would be Benga's "Amber" (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ldVmVBxv4bI) The thing alternates between being subby and sounding like... well... wet farts, and I assume this effect is controlled by a resonator but I might be way off.
Any help with this one would greatly appreciated and if any especially generous individuals want to get real specific, I'm working in Reason.
Yes, the resonance of the filter is enveloped with a long attack. Meanwhile the cutoff is wobbling, sure you know how to do that. The waveform is just a saw I think. I made something just like this in Sylenth once.
I see. Thanks for the tip. I get the individual pieces of what you're saying, but I'm having a bit of trouble translating it into a working synth.
Any chance you could show me a screencap of your Sylenth? Might help me figure it out a bit easier.
Hello everyone!
I am trying for some time to make a dubstep bass on the Nord lead synth with no succes.. I see this guy how he used the MS 2000 to make duby basses and sounds: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nMxV5T_TRYw
Isn't posible to make same sounds with the Nord Lead or am I doing something wrong.
Thanks a lot!
So I've always really loved the snare-repeat or whatever one would call it, anyone have any tips on creating a snare pattern like that, not sure exactly how to go about it.
The first time it appears starts at about 4 seconds.
Snare rush.
Just sequence the hits really close together like glitching or the so called stutter edit. Turn off grid snap and quantize, just play with velocity and a filter cutoff. You can also do it via grid snap but with a bit less control. Pretty simple to make the sound but harder to make it sound really good.

So ...any tips on the Nord Lead? Nobody using it around here?
around 49 seconds that big sliding saw thing, just cant get mine sounding as good. Also heard on the island part 2 and alot of other tracks
Look up tutorials for the "hoover' synth because that's all it is. Also it sounds like it's got a good deal of chorus or unison (but not too much, because it cuts through the mix really well).
p0gman, megalodon, 50 carrot, supreme, antikz synth in massive.
Anyone know how to do this, I've been trying all night and I can get it kind of close but it doesnt have that metalic feel to it, mine sounds generic
Hey to make some dutty synths in massive that sound like that. You would just take
OSC1 -12 Make it Frozen or find another one that works.
mod osc1 -12 turn on phase and ring to osc1
Route to Filter1 using bandpass
lfo both cutoff and bandwith to get a sick lfo
lfo the eq highs + frequency + boost
lfo the pitch -0.33 on osc and mod osc
use sine shaper and find the right setting.
put on chorus or reverb and dimension expander
now ur making dutty shit thats really hard to clean up.
I have been fascinated with this Trolley Snatcha sound forever.. Any ideas?? Starts at 0:27. Reminds me of a G-Funk synth wobbled http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PN5pPuNR410

@rezto-dubz: You already have it -- pitch automation, likely with multiple voices. Kind of like an organ, in that regard, so you could just find an organ vst and have at it. Or synthesize it... So get two oscillators (I like saws but sines can work -- experiment!) and add a fifth (e.g. D3, D4, and A4). Bounce/render it to a new instrument, and apply a sine LFO to the pitch. Run through distortion and that's it. Alternatively, distortion first, and then render. Either way, harmonics are key. Harmonics make that thickness. Quick example:
