Help me recognize this bass (should be easy)

Post by wytarty » Wed Aug 20, 2014 11:52 am

That guy is pretty good at synths and stuff not mentioning his ridicouls RMS level. However, the bass he used is pretty fun and kinda want to know how is built. Often heard in deep houses and dunno how it is named. It is some kind of sine/traingle wave proccesing? With some short decay and things?

bass starting at 0:30

what i want to know is how he gets it to sound so stereo since almost all of it is below the frequency threshold generally considered to be necessarily mono only. is he just disregarding that rule?

Reverb can help you get around this - send your bass to a reverb thats quite tight but wide, and just cut all the low end. Gives you a much larger sounding sound because of the space.

Almost everything in that track had different reverbs giving everything space, making it sound big but clean.

I'm about 80 percent sure that it's short vocal sample pitched up/down

The actual bass definitely isn't a vocal lol... although that other stab sound is a vocal. Try a mixture of saws/sines or saws/squares using each an octave apart, add a quick decay to provide the plucking nature and try adding in different harmonics in the synth to give you some midrange on top of the bass sound. Then some saturation, and reverb.

Yeah, this seems more like a default sine/square wave with the release level all the way down (on env 4) so it becomes a one shot and like mthrfnx said, "try adding different harmonics in the synth to give you some midrange on the top of the bass sound." Then have your midi to your creativity.

However, it could actually be a 909 or 808 with very quick decay and in the misc or func tab in the sampler (if using fl) you can cut by and it should make it so when you press say C5 then A7 it wouldn't overlap the sound and it would cut the last sound off. This is how they do those 808 bass lines in trap songs! :D

Aw yea, fail :u: I meant that stab... that bass could be as 9skies said 808/909 bassdrum with quick decay... If you have Rob Papen's Subboombass that's ideal plugin for these low sounds ;-)
