Sub Pitch

[Bassf4ce]

Do you prefer a deeper desk shaking sub or a more audible sub?

why not just layer your deep subs with an octave higher on a square wave or triangle wave for maximum fatness

tl;dr why not both

Lol a tl;dr for one sentience xD. It comes out not as heavy if you use two sine waves, but that can cause some over lapping which may not be the best it is good to have some room for your kick in the mix.

Well couldnt you theoretically just put a band pass on the high sub and a lowpass on the low sub so they fit nicely, then just side chain them to the kick?

If both subs are sines, then no. Filtering a sine does not affect tone. There's no advantage over simply changing oscillator amplitude. Besides, a filter's process is more CPU-intensive than messing with amplitude. If there are added harmonics to one or both, then I suppose that's a different story.

I see. That actually makes a lot of sense now. Maybe if the higher layer was a square or triangle or something.
