i dont know what massvie is, also just keep trying and have the sound looped next to your sound attempt to compare whilst tweaking if you want it that bad.

With a name like that, everyone will think your a troll.

I feel like every post that you will make will turn into this... So if you really need help, get real.

It's not really that good imo. Just a newbie brostepper's weapon of choice for crafting SIKH BASS DROPS... And it shows, most users sound very "NI Massive" if you know what I mean...

You spent two seconds typing this and and now you are expecting an in depth analysis of a track, with a break down of how to develop that sound without proving you have any technical knowledge at all.

Its like try to teach calculus to a 5 year old.... there are better things to do.

massive does so much more than bass. you either dont have it or you dont know how to use it. its NOT the newbie weapon of choice. i read an interview with reso recently. its one of his fave soft synths.

I was able to come up with this in about a half hour.

Soundcloud

It was pretty simple really. I used Massive (which you said you've been trying with) with very minimal effects. the gist of what I did is just use a square wave, which I separated into 10 different voices, each detuned by about 4 cents (anymore detuned and it will start to sound a bit hollow and breathy with not enough clear high end). I also put some tube distortion and light dimension expander to add to it.

*the most important parts of the sound itself is the filter movemont (which gives it the biting top end) and the delay (which gives it that sort of metallic edge)
I used massive's "band reject" filter for this one, bandwidth to just past 12:00 and resonance to about 9:00. I then assigned an envelope to modulate the cutoff of said filter (I set the envelope with a medium attack and the "level" on the decay to just about 11:00) The filter starts completely to the right at the start of each note (fully open) and it closes about halfway (to about 12:00) and then reopens a little at each note.

From there I used fl's delay, which has a preset called "hot tin roof" which uses a very quick delay and gives it that metallic sort of character.

Beyond that, I eq'd just a bit and added some more distortion, and then hipassed the sound and added in a straight sinewave sub, and viola!

Anyways, I know it's not exact but I think it's close enough. If you want any more details let me know and I'll be more specific.
