Funk Reese Bass With Basic FL Studio Plugins

[Eat Bass]

Woah, woah, woah! Are we taking cents or semitones? If those are semitones, way too much detuning. If you're talking cents, even 15 may be too high depending on how you're using it, IE if its modulated or if its static.

It looks like you're routing your low, mid, high signals through chains in series. I would suggest instead routing your FX chains in parallel. Also, is British Clean something akin to cabinet emulation? If you can't route your chains in parallel, then definitely take advantage of the dry-wet knobs or dry wet levels on your distortion units. The way your signals are routed I'd imagine they degrade extremely quickly (wet signal run into another distortion unit at wet signal and again). Try and preserve as much of the original signal as possible as most of the perceived strength of the sound is from the original signal.

i thought I'm effecting in parallel because each band isn't going into each other, I'm effecting each band individually then mixing them. please inform me if I'm mistaken.

Any kind of filter really; this part comes down to personal preference. LP are particularly popular to use with reeses, but my favorite though are multiple modulated notch cuts.

yeah i do this too but i do that after resampling. what should i modulate in the initial patch, just maybe a LP.

I was referring to your individual FX chains. Instead of routing your distortion units in a series [ VST1 -> VST2 -> VST3], route them parallel using sends/buses, but as I said before, this is all irrelevant if each of those VST's have individual dry/wet knobs.

ohhhh, now i follow you. sorry. so i just put each effect i want on a separate bus and use sends and that will have me in parallel? i've never worked that way for the most part besides with like reverb and such. but thanks for the tip! ill try that and then resample obviously because that will be a ton going on for 1 bass.

btw big ups on your tunes, your fucking creative as hell man. with so many people all following the same style and such its nice to hear a change, your shit is truly original.
