If you've missed out on Shpongle and Ott then wow, welcome to a new world. Seen them both live and I rate all of their albums among the top of anything ever released.
On topic though I agree the Scatta bass is something else. No idea how to do it though... Sorry for the meaningless input.
oh damn i completely forgot that's what this topic was on . deadly, that sounds great, i'm sure i'll be away as soon once i get them downloaded. grok, yes, it is dawning on me what i've been missing out on...
Message me if you want a more in depth run through in reason, logic, or with massive.
You pretty much need a saw or sine wave or whatever you wave you choose, bit crusher or scream (in reason), distortion, and to make the yoi, yah or wub sound perfect find a nice low frequency.
Blates not dubstep, brostep is the lovechild of dubstep and electro imo.
I love both genres, but strongly feel that the difference needs to be expressed.
Start with some sort of reese perhaps. The reason I say it like this is because I've heard some reese basses that don't even have saw waves.
Keep adding layer after layer of distortion, but make sure your sound doesn't rise too far into high frequencies.
Also use things like chorus, phase, flange etc. I've even heard a vocoder can be used for this.
Once it's filthy enough for you, smack an LFO on that bitch.
Bear in mind, I may be totally wrong, all the information I've gathered on this guy has been without any means of testing it myself.
I've also heard he uses a lion's roar with vocoding. Sounds slightly bullshitty, but maybe if you pitch it well enough you'll get some good from it.
Do you say zerbaman? Or do you say zebraman? Soundcloud
I feel like he is sampling an animal or something, and triggering the sample through ableton or reason's nnxt, while manipulating the pitch wheel to get the different pitches. the thing that would make people think it's an LFO is how smooth his trigger points are, they are almost completely covered up by the kick, or really stiffly side-chained. No doubt about the distortion thing, i hear almost a digi-destroyer in it.
If you listen to Skrillex's other songs, he really like manipulating pitch on the same sample to get different depth to it, each time he does, it sounds like an all new sample to the ear.
look on DOA there are huge threads about this question...it seems like there is FM going on and someone said that skrillex uses NI FM8 (dont know if this is true though)
edit: if this doesnt help you just click through the videos on the right and soak up information...then try and maybe the time will come and youll get this sound out of your speak0rs
that kashaororowowa guy seems like a douche. didn't mind the bouncy tatas though.....seriously though did we really need to revive this thread op was in december and most recent comments were in jan >.<

yeah he seems like a selfloving spastic idiot but i found the videos interesting for the op and there are tons of other videos about this topic someone just gotta use the search function...i didnt look at the dates it was just on top of the first page so i posted...i am sorrey corey
Skrillex music is really cool IMO. It goes far beyond what the bass sounds like. I don't really consider it dubstep nor does it matter to me. I do get really annoyed when people say he sucks because its not really dubstep. WHO CARES that's like not liking a band because they said they are soft rock and they are hard rock. As far as how to make it. Why? Are you a "cover producer". Go around covering other artist by copying their sound. If you fucked around you might make something better.
the key to doing this: vocoders.
if you don't believe me, watch this.
now just make a PROPER bassline instead of the one he used in that tutorial (which was obviously just an example) and voila. you're skrillex.
in turn, can anyone reccomend me a vocoder with a similar formant feature like the one in ableton? i have vocodex and it doesn't sound anywhere similar and there's lots of artifacts when i automate the settings (maybe my CPU is too weak but i doubt that).

I've been toying with this for awhile sounds pretty close just add some resampling and I think with luck you'd be set

He uses FM8, if you use it FM8 enough you can tell it is, i can get low growlish basses that are pretty fat straight from FM8, adding effects and compression and you have scatta. And deadly that Desimal track is pretty cool, when was that made? the bass is pretty sick, why did he kill himself?
