Bass Wobble Frequency Range?

[zigg]

What is the reccommended frequency range for aggressive, robust, full, loud sounding bass wobbles?

[brandino]

There isn't a really a recommended frequency range.

But I will attempt to answer your question...

If i was going about my day and wanted to make an aggressive, robust, full, loud sounding bass id open up my synth and start by adding in a low-mid end sound (minus the sub i prefer to have that separate from the filth) Then Id want to add another oscillator inside the same synth preset and do a sound that is in the Mid-High ish range. Then after some EQ'ing and crap. Add in a sub bass.

Give me an example of what you're thinking of in terms of big?

this kinda bass wobble yo

Okay in terms of frequency again the only frequency Id highly suggest is that the sub be at a solid 40hz

40hz? A lot speakers dont even play well that low.... and frequency range is subjective Its whatever sounds good to your ear. If you hear something lacking in the low end then highpass it to 100hz and then layer a good sub underneath. I normally highpass anything to clean up headroom and get a nice full sub. You can even go as high at 180hz but then you will be missing some key mid-low freqs but like I said it whatever sounds good to you.

Well it sounds like that wobble takes up the entire frequency range, from whatever the sub note is all the way up to like 10-20khz. If I were trying to make a full, robust, loud-sounding bass like that I would make sure that pretty much every region of the frequency spectrum was represented in the sound, and that all frequencies are peaking at roughly the same level.

Open up a spectrum analyzer plugin (I can't help but mention voxengo span here because it's absolutely beastly and free) and look at what frequencies your bass takes up. Find some bass samples that you like and run them through the spectrum analyzer to see what their frequency content is. Then try to match that with your sound.

Yeah I agree with add9, if you want a big robust aggressive bass that sounds "full" it'd only make sense to fill the whole spectrum (except below 100hz, that's for ur sub), start on midrange first, about 200 - 2-3khz. I find midrange is crucial for basses like that, they add up and make the harmonics for the rest of the spectrum, so when it comes to eq'ing don't take out too much between 200 - 1,000 (what I call the body of a bass). Or if you made a bass and the low end region is too muddy, or the harmonics just aren't right, eq it out and make a sub with a low gentle quite saw or square waveform to refill that "body". hope that helps!
btw I tried making gorestep synths, they are fucking tricky the way borgore does it, my advice is play with filter modulation on a bandreject/bandpass, I got close with themSoundcloud

I've seen that my favorite Dubstep artist zomboy uses two deep frequencies to add extra bass. He uses sometimes a 40 hz sub then he uses a sub set to about 100hz to give the song an extra bassy feel. And yes it is all about how it sounds.
