Interesting sub bass... How to accomplish?

Post by samdam1 » Mon Feb 24, 2014 10:39 pm

Hey guys, the sub bass in this track is super nice, wondering if anyone knows how to get it?


From 1:06, yes the sub bass, not the 'wah' bass.

And please don't just say "just distort a sine wave, simple" because no, you will be forever negged.


Cheers for any help, much appreciated! :)

Classic DSF...

Some extra harmonics, I can't work out how to go about it, my first guess was to use FM and modulate two sine waves together, sounds alright but not quite.

it wouldn't surprise me if they just took a wavetable in massive, could be any WT that has a decent amount of harmonics, and lowpassed it. This way you can control how many harmonics come through with the LP filter.
