The Reese Bass Thread

[Augment]

Dont know if you guys have heard this or not, getting alot of attention from bigger producers the last days.

Reese sounds huge. Sounds a bit like what you get when putting some phase modulation on the lunacy (think it was lunacy) wavetable in massive. Not really sure.
Just thought I'd post it here to revive the thread and hopefully give you inspiration for a reese-making session or something

[Toolman4]

I'd imagine that's exactly it tbh. The crunchy parts come from portamento/pitch bending the sound.

[Gaol]

Im not sure if this has been posted yet but this reese is so sick.

Soundcloud

Would love some ideas on its creation.

I'd almost go as far as to say it's PROBABLY saw waves passed through a filter then the pitch and cutoff are modulated but I COULD be wrong on that

oh god, i'd love to see someone elaborate on this reese. There's no way these big reese basses are saws, because I think I've tried everything under the sun to get my reeses to sound like this using detuned saws and all sorts of notch filters, bandpasses, etc. and they always sound empty, weak. The closest I got to a nice sounding reese is this, which I posted before:

This ironically isn't even the sound I'm trying to achieve, it only sounds good on like C1 what I just posted, a single octave higher it sounds like distorted mess, so there's not much movement I could get with this.

That "reese" in that track sounds much more like a growl... just sounds like Massive patch using bend+/- on the wavetables with some nice reese style processing.

Not exactly the same and still pretty shitty, but I did these a while ago (the high end is overdone but meh.):

+1, I've def heard a similar patch before

Then Info please! It's pretty damn good, and very similar!

Also, what do you think of the reese I posted? I've had that FLP saved for a while, but I don't really know how to incorporate it into a drop. Like I said, every other note I try (it's resampled and bounced to harmor). With the "theme" of the song, I kind of want it to have that kind of culprate feel to it. (Listen to the drop in this to see what I'm saying: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9hoKBqe6D44)

Ive been working with frequency shifter in massive alot lately:

non-filtered and then filtered:

Reese made using FM8 with tons of modulation and then resampled using Harmor.

In Harmor I used the Unison with only a small pitch difference and added some of the 'Log' distortion. Then I changed the LP filter in Harmor to a Phaser and automated that manually.

oh man, those are nice. I feel like if u brought out the mid/low end a little more it would be real nice.

care to share?

RIP Ears, so much high end and resonance...

elaborate though it sounds cool

Lol yeah, cut the highs and beef the mids. Nice modulations for sure.

I've posted earlier asking why my shit sounds so thin and most people thought I was over-EQ'ing but I've been fucking with reeses again and I think it may be due to phase issues? I can make some fun sounding modulating basses, but my process involves splitting it into high and low with lots of overlap between both (modulating) hi and lo pass filters and to add thickness again I re-add the dry signal to the chain, compress and distort/saturate, resample and repeat.

Y'all think that it may sound thin due to phase issues? Cuz I do properly fatten everything up and don't subtractively EQ until the end. Both for mixing and movement.

I encountered thin-ness before due to phasing issues in hamor, so yes.

[Genevieve]

How do I fix this? No overlapping frequencies?

Though I don't use Harmor. I just use it to generate the innitial patch I wanna work with and sample that. The thinness happens in the processing and modulation.

And what causes the phase cancellation anyway? Does the individual processing cause minimal latency which phases out the signal?

[Fowles]

here are some reeses from a WIP im doing.

Soundcloud

the reeses are at 2:16 or so

[RandoRando]

i got some quick reeese in my latest wip from my upcoming EP. ill give info if anyones interested.

reeses at 1:00 1:57 2:15

Info if you want

mthrfnk, I'm still waiting for info on this reese-processed growl
I tried using the carbon WT processed like a growl and got a really loud buzzy mess.

Ah shit sorry I forgot about this...
Which track I posted did you want info on?
