Ha, I'd love to do some fieldrecording, but i don't have a proper mic and i actually couldn't imagine a way to get a proper sound out of a sample like that other than using granular synthesis with an incredibly short grainsizeCE9958 wrote:So don't use them. Go record your toilet flushing and then notch the shit out of it. Not that that sound sounds particularly like a toilet flushing but you see what I'm getting at here? To me a Reese is a style of processing rather than a type of bass. If you're getting all into the specifics shit then technically a square based reese is called a hoover and honestly fuck that shit. You can treat anything like a reese (with varying degrees of success). To me that really does sound like a saw based reese. The way I would approach that is to take a nice warm saw or something similar to it. Something really warm and wide like what you hear in Deadmau5's saws usually (I've had good success coming from a moog slim phatty getting that sound) and then try to experiment with pitch bending. It sounds like a lot of the reese's in that track start out low and then get pitched up which is what makes that sort of wailing sound. Koan Sound does that a lot too.
I tried getting a smoother saw, but the only way i could think of was using FM8 and feeding a sine back into itself until it had a sort of smoother saw form and tried that. Sounded nice but not really close.
On a side note, how do those luna/cicada based reeses in massive work? How to replicate them on other synths? Those are actually kind of similar to the one in that soundtrack. Also it seems that it doesn't have much detuning. Pretty damn fascinating sound.
however if anyones interested heres a reese of mine with a very similar patch as before in a dungeon dubstep song:
