I love Dodge & Fuski so much for doing these. All (with the exception of the song layout tut cause I mean... come on...) Are really awesome and helpful. Will be checking this out when I get home for sure

ive always made reeses and a lot of the time i cant even use them cause i have a very hard time making them work cause i always try to do too much crazy shit but heres a few
ChadDub wrote:Wow, i listened to the reese on it's own and I was like this sucks but then you REALLY complimented it with the rest of those instruments! Good job!
Lets hear one that doesnt suck then? And thanks haha
No offense but a great reese sounds great just by itself
My best reeses have come from 2-3 separate synth patches, all using squares/saws, but wildly different from each other. I bus these all to one channel, and distort - then I may split from there, depending on what I'm doing. Pushing really hard on a good limiter can create interesting results also.

I agree with this totally and also if you slam a Reese super hard in a limiter it almost throbs. another cool thing is take a Reese play with the start time and loop certain points. you can get some cool results

hey guys
after watching the dodge and fuski tutorial yesterday ive made a decent bass for a resse, however I wanted to know in the effects stages what are the most popular types of effect to go for? I know anything goes as long as it sounds good but i wanted some sort of info on where to do next?
Cheers !

for that 2nd Reese its actually the menace Reese I posted and then I played with a lowpass filter and a highpass filter and pitch. that's all it is. I added some more notches and a phaser so make it more detunish. but it's super easy to achieve. now if it was easy to use in songs xD

I've been mucking around with reeses and the one thing I've failed to get, and haven't really seen many other people get is that "watery" feel to their reese. Here's 2 examples I could think of
They're both a bit different but represent what I'm trying to get after, they sound like a reese under water. I've tried using different waveforms, different effects chains the only thing I haven't done is change filters. Was wondering if anyone had any insight into this!

to Huts: Sounds like a presence of Resonance during the synthesis stage that gets layered with plugins to bring out that effect....?
I myself have really been inspired lately by the likes of KOAN Sound,culprate,spor, etc and am having a BLAST experimenting with that type of reese. However, it's that top end crunch that I'm STILL trying to get. Manny has done great work. I don't know if this is the same manny that posted a neuro bass tut from DOA, but I'd really like to know how you going about the actual automations of the HP,LP and Notch filters. Aside from that, with ableton's time stretching capabilities, and my resampling techs, I'm so DAMN close...it's just the automation of the filters with portamento/pitch bends...

This, plus the original synth patch was probably played at one of those low notes just beyond the point of key recognition...if you know what I mean.

Gave it another shot and came up with this. Soundcloud
after seeing how dodge&fuski used phase modulation to create their reese I gave that a try with a few wave forms and it came out a little closer to where I was headed. Only problem is it sounds like shit on every other note, and trying to create any kind of melody or w/e was a total fail haha. There's also a bit of high end that I can't seem to EQ/Filter out, but I think I'm making some progress!

^ id say your base sound is actually there. Perhaps a few resamplings and you'll really be bringing out that 'watery' sound. I can definitely hear it though...I'd be interested to hear how you creatively make a bassline out of it
Hey manny...Would you mind shedding some light on doing the LP/HP/Pitch bend modulations for that second reese? MUCH Appreciated

Maybe someone will find some enjoyment in this one. I mix my tracks quite low so you may have to turn up the volume a bit - just roughly comparing it to the other posts.
The source synth was Operator with some chorus/phaser/saturation. Bounce a MIDI track to audio, copy that audio track, modulate an eq/filter and layer this second copy on top of the original bounced audio. Just minor tweaks here and there really. Happy with it overall, but could use a bit more work.
