A dark, grimmy bass

Post by eliash » Thu Oct 10, 2013 9:22 pm

Hey everyone :)
So recently I've been experiencing with the darker, deeper side of dubstep. I know tons of artists, but I've just recently started trying to produce it.

My aim is to be able to get a powerful bass, that mixes subs and mid-range together, as I have all the foundations laid down for a track, just waiting for a deep bass to kick in.

An example of that would be http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x0DkP-LZ9A0 (insane song btw).

So how would one go around making a bass sound like the hit at 00:34.

Of course I'm not looking for a step-by-step tutorial, but rather for an overall explanation of who one would make such a sound.

My guess is:
- Low sine-triangle automated between the two.
- Some flanger/phaser going on
- HP/LP/RES/Band filter automation
- Loads of EQ.

What other processes would you use to create a bass as shown?

Please let me know in details, it truly interests me.

Have a good one

Thanks man haha, I'll give you details tomorrow if you want? It is half twelve at night where I am and I can't be bothered to open up my music stuff until tomorrow haha. I used Massive with barely any external processing, it is actually quite a simple patch:)

Pretty much I like the effect, really dark touch to the tune, how long did it took to come up with this sound!
