Pick any sound as a base sound, it doesn't matter too much you will just get different results. A notch at around 700Hz for nice colouring with a peak at around 1kHz and another at around 200Hz. While doing a pitch bend, sweep the first peak from 200Hz up to about 800Hz and back (Or less depending on the vowel). The second peak at 1kHz should move very very very slightly for different vowels and does not necessarily have to follow the same pattern as the first peak (I usually alter the second peak at the end of a note). I have been using either Ohmicide or Izotope Trash for the distortion but the distortion surprisingly doesn't matter too much (The amount of FM going on usually gives a nice effect anyways) and adding some gentle saturation. I also usually program my Sub separately.

In your example. How are you getting that dungeon/darkstep/deathstep style sound to the growls? I can hear a lot of reverb in the growls themselves. But what other FX's did you add to make it sound so mysterious and "Dark" ?

I'm not sure specifically which growl you are talking about but a little extra automation I use to get that sound is the amount of FM going from one operator to another so in a basic FM8 setup, the amount of E going into F. If you automate this parameter so that some notes have a lot of FM and some don't, it kind of sounds like a low pass filter sort of thing, just grittier. Also, sometimes if I re-sample I will pitch shift it one semitone down for some lower vowels.

Sounds really good considering theres no plugins on it! How'd you make it

I know this is justa Growl Bass thread, but can you help me? trying to get that wobble that sounds before the first growl.

Massive, bandreject filter, wavetable modulation (WT-pos and intensity), pitch and EQ automation, resampled and then ran through Fruity Granulizer while recording and twiddling the knobs.

not really i don't use EQ automation like that at all, i automate the gain (and Q if needed) as well since i tend to do things in fine detail.
i was sayin i wouldn't rely on it too much since i feel growl basses in general need a more advanced timbre change as the sound progresses to be more appealing. IMO choosing the right waveforms usually results in a cleaner sound and can give really defined vowels if done right. im just saying iv seen plenty people on youtube do big +18db gains with EQ automation without automating much else when it shouldn't be like that.
