My first post!
Sorry I haven't helped anyone out on these forums so far, I'm very new to the producing world so there's little I can help with. Makes me feel like a d***
Anyways, does anyone have any idea how to produce the bass drop featured at 1:08 in Nero's remix of Plan B's 'The Recluse,' and if possible, the variant of the higher-pitched at 1:13?
I think there's two different basses to make this sound but I am a n00b and as such have no idea how to make this sound.
Any help in the right direction would be greatly appreciated!

@RevIllusion: Welcome to DSF! So, that synth sounds like saws and movement. So take a couple saw waves an octave apart, and add a sine wave an octave below (for depth and distortion muddling; lower notes eat a lot of headroom and generate nice harmonics and affect the way distortion interacts with the waves and whatnot). Another sine a fifth above whatever your root will be is fine, too. Then distort, and add slight chorus on top. See the terrible example below.

@Canonmusic: High, high pitches that are distorted and compressed, then low-passed for warmth and smoothness. Ideally, you'd make a single screech, render/bounce it, then use that with no other effects. Possibly pair it with itself, pitched down. EQ to taste. Kind of like that Kid606 song, Mr. Wobble, where it's obviously a resampled bass note, but still sounds alright. When I did it, I didn't resample, simply because I like the way different notes interact with the signal chain. And so, my horrible attempt is another part of the example below.

Whats up guys, I'm wondering how to get this sort of....err....glassy bass sound?

I can't really explain it but its kind of high pitched in a way? But has this glassy sound to idk.

The sounds can be heard in both these tracks.

@kikaruu: Any idea what kind of wave we are looking at? And thanks a lot by the way

@antman: If I'm understanding you correctly, the easiest way would be to add a third to your oscillator rack. Notching a frequency always helps, as does formant boosting/cutting. Also, a very short delay, working as a basic comb filter, could work. There also seems to be a cabinet simulator type effect on that Coki bass. So, that's everything I tried in the example below.

Example

@Canonmusic: My example was made with sines. Once distorted and run through filters, however, the wave looks odd/hard to describe. Here's an image (click for larger size) from a spectrogram showing the synth in the Trolley Snatcher tune, if that helps. The spectrogram also shows some nice harmonics that are easily generated by a lo-fi filter (or similar distortion). I didn't use one, and hence those harmonics are not present in my section.

how do you make the bass sound at 16 seconds


how do you make the bass at 1:16



how do you make the main bass sound as well as the sounds in the intro


thanks in advance

I'm looking for any advice on how to make the bassline that can be heard clearly around 2.28 in this



Thanks

Here's the patch I made. It doesn't sound quite as beefy but I'd say I got pretty close. Let me know if you want the details.

Nicely done CM, post it up!

If you have massive, pm me and I'll email you the 2 patches.

@kikaruu: Do you know if massive or ableton have the kind of lo-fi filter you are talking about??

I couldn't say, as I use neither. But, lo-fi is kind of a standard effect in most DAWs, so it's probably in Ableton already. If not, just find a simple bitcrush vst. Maybe add a tube emulator. When I return home, I'll try to get closer to the sound.

Use Ableton's "Redux" plug

can anyone help me make the bass of this or anything similar Im making dark tracks and just can't make a deep dark bass well enough, Im using albino 3 and massive so it can help for either thanks in advance

@Canonmusic: I started fresh this time, and I think I got a bit closer. The lofi/bitcrush helped a tad, and I made a synth in unison, an octave up. Listen here.

@Klesherdubs: Midrange saw, unison, into a low-shelf filter with high resonance + comb filter, somewhere around maybe 15 Hz + shallow chorus. Play around with it for a unique result. Listen here.

Canonmusic wrote:@kikaruu: Do you know if massive or ableton have the kind of lo-fi filter you are talking about??

Massive has both a bitcrusher and A "resample" effect, both of which downsample the synth. I personally don't use those though. NI's Kontakt has a great lofi distortion unit that I use quite frequently though.

Look up Flux Pavilion got 2 know tutorial on youtube, and tweak the patch

with reference to the xkore growl, ive made a sound thats fairly similar.. not identical but similar on my facebook you can grab here

http://www.facebook.com/pages/Moxix/179 ... 3661491992

it would be made better with the WOW filter or the tone2 filters, but dry out of massive thats something i made.

this isn't a cheap attempt to get you guys on my page, if you want a vocal,beastly growl sound its there.. dont even have to like the page unlike those other pages that promise rainbows and bass for a like!

Hey DSF,
How the main bass wobble in this made? It's really fat and has a really good tone to it, I've been playing around with sines but can't get it,



Thanks so much to anyone that can help
