Hey, does anyone have any idea how this bass is made? I know it's not dubstep but goes way deep anyway. It sounds very simple but I can't get that fast attack and punchy feel. All of slimmahs bass have this kind of punchy bass without any audible midrange, although they sometimes got this phased pluck over it.

There was a really good post about reggae music that described how to make a dub sound, but I can't find it. So for now, you're left with this link instead.

How do I get the sound at about 0:56?

another good example

0:50 mark

Pretty typical lfo sound, however really cant get my head around it and its annoying me, so thought id post on here, cant get the lfo to flow as nice, sounds really robotic.

Any ideas?

@Artie Fufkin : That may be a sample rather than a synth. Maybe something like a guitar pick sliding on a string with tonnes of distortion?

Ooh, that sounds like a neat idea. : )

I wanna make a bass sound like at about 00:27 here:

But it just baffles me to be honest! Is it some kind of reese I should be playing around with?

I'm using massive but also have reason if that helps

1:24
what is this bass? it sounds almost like an 808 but an 808 does not lat that long.. an 808 hit into a sine?

It sounds like someone got a 808 kick, slowed it down slightly, as I remember the actual kick part of the 808 to be shorter than what I heard. Then it sounds like the looping marker section of the 808 kick wave (.wav) got looped, and then someone used a pitch slider/automation thingy, to make the pitch of it go down as it plays. By the way, every 808 kick has a sine in it.

That lead at 00:28? Is it pitch bended?

sorry, not expert enough to help anyone, but:
anyone got any ideas for how to reproduce/find the lead synth that plays pretty much throughout from 0:20



sounds nice and old school 80's so thinking it could even be an imitation of some hardware synth, if it is id on that would be just as useful.

At 3:44.
Really cool sound. Is that just sine waves bent down with distortion?

Cheers!

Hi
this is the tune http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OQ7AF8IG7Eg
was wondering what the glitchy sound throughout is and how its made?
Cheers

its arp and in wery wrong tempo-try it!

I have been searching all over dsf for something to describe these sounds and I can't find them anywhere. Any help is much appreciated!
It's the high synths in these videos

Bar 9's remix of noisia's split the atom comes in at about 0:25

thanks a ton! I'm fairly new to all this.
I'm running FL 9 producer ed. with Massive

just a couple detuned saws with a bit of vibrato mate

Just wondering about the rhythm or wobble in this song and dubstep in general...

Is the fast wobble or bass rhythm from an actual wobble or did the wav file get chopped and sequenced in that way?
Im talking about the fast one around 1:10

Borgore - Ice Cream


Thanks,

to me it sounds like a low passed saw. maybe a bit of pitch lfo (really small) detune an osc slightly and some reverb and tape distortion.
i think i might try make it when i get back home.
