The Reese Bass Thread

[Fowles]

Messed a bit about with an old reese sample and got this weird movement out of it, kinda like it
Soundcloud

nice, what'd you do?

[Trichome]

just a standard lowpassed reese, but im proud of it. i like the way it sounds when you bend the pitch
(shameless self promo too, if anyone wants a clip with only the bass just ask haha)
Soundcloud

u better be fuckin proud of it.

haha im not very good at making decent lowpassed reeses usually (its harder than you'd think to make them sound good)

Chopped up the reese and had small parts play over and over again, but overlapping each other a little bit.

So for a little test on my new cpu(i7) I tried building an a massive rack inside ableton to see how much processing i could throw down on my cp with out it to start clicking or lagging a bit. My ableton monitor went to around 25% the whole time and my actual cpu was around 10%, I had around 9 sylenths playing saws and split 3 of them into groups of low,mid, and high then did more processing on each of those chains with mainly stock ableton plugins. Ill try take all ableton stock plugins and replace them with some third party ones and see how my cpu will handle it then.

Heres the actual reese ive made ahah Tons of resampling potential! I could give a download or the rack if anyone wants to fool around with it? The soundcloud clip doesnt do it justice.

i know its not really a reese but didnt wanna make a new thread, anyone know how u make these kinda sounds

like the main bass in that ^
and this
Soundcloud
'Content' also uses them a lot, kinda mid rangey growls but rather than being twisted like a reese theyre almost like one shots, really short with not too much modulation, but also really low-end almost like theyve used a sine or something
is it triangle waves? i can never seem to get it right, altho i can get close sounds mine always end up almost more twisted than i want them, and with more high end
the closest ive gotten is this
Soundcloud
but i did that by accident... ._.

Try the low-mid thread.

[titchbit]

good looks jonahmann!!

@kaili

those are exactly the type of sounds we are going for in the sub/low-mid thread. they're definitely very difficult, and i haven't figured most of em out yet. i wish i could just give you a bullet point list answer, but maybe if you post in that thread some of the vets like sunklo or fragments might chime in.

but i can see why you'd come to the reese thread for this. i would go about making these types of sounds by taking huge broey reeses and applying heavy lowpass to them. you gotta mess around changing different parameters to get the timbre you're looking for. pitch bend or portamento can help a lot to get those low-mid basses that move up or down.

also you kinda have to accept that it's unlikely you will get exact sound you're looking for. but you'll come up with something new, and hopefully that's better.

So i messed around with that rack i had earlier and things just click for me and got this. Made my own double notch filter inside pro q and had a nice trick for getting a snarly high end

I can upload some of the patches later if there's any interest

Hey guys I made my first ever Reese (only have been working with a DAW for about 4 months now), and I think I found something kinda worthy of presenting to you all for a second opinion.

I'm open to all constructive criticism! I would love to get better!

I only used an EQ8 and Ableton Saturator for post processing.

The first one is just Massive and post-processing, no automation. Second one is the EQ automated to random highs and lows. Third is an LFO adjustment on the filter, fourth is grittiness added.

Alright, so I'm trying to nail down those halfway between growl bass, but mostly reese basses. Like what Kill The Noise and feed me do, not like the Zomboy/mustdie/massive digigrain/AI shit which is done to death.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9f0h7e97fRk

The reese comes in at 0:56, and then continues at the drop. Feed me does something similar in "Abel" and "Ebb & Flow".

I can't even think of where to start with one of these. Cause it honestly doesn't sound like it's the same idea as the everyday NI massive->digital/hybrid->double notch filter bull shit.

I've decided I really want to try out a new synth. I'm trying to decide between FM8, and maybe a combination of what Reason has to offer in terms of rewiring it through ableton.

Suggestions on this sort of reese sound?

nice man. exactly how I like reese basses. how did you made it? saw + some digital waveform in massive, notch filter, saturate? Or is it just wavetable modulation?

[titchbit]

Reese/growl experts - would you consider this a reese or a growl or neither? On a fundamental level. Like I know reese is all about detuned saws and I honestly avoid all discussion of growls so I don't really know for sure what the fundamental characteristics of a growl are, but I think it has to do with vowelyness.

Anyway, the sound I'm asking about is the harsh mid/high bass heard at 0:28 and periodically throughout the song:

2 saws and the kanga wavetable, although it sounds almost identical without the kanga wt. Double notch filter into a bandpass, both being automated to create the main movement. Tons of distortion with camelphat, ohmicide, sausage fattener, some vocodex and soundgoodizer haha.

The inference that such a sound has to be "a reese or a growl or neither" makes little sense because they are different principles that necessarily do not interfere with one another – as you implied.

Also, let's not forget these are not clear-cut taxonomic concepts so who gives a shit.

[titchbit]

thats a good point i suppose but do you have an answer?

[smile]

I would describe it as a band-passed reese "stab".
