Now I am not saying that the sound that Nero uses in "me and you" is easy, however it seems fairly simple. I am not going to act like I can perfectly create it but I feel like I have come reasonably close. I have never actually sat down and tried to make that exact sound and I am not even saying that If I wanted to I could. However, I do know that Nero uses massive as well do I. I'm not sure what daw he uses. The sound i made starts around 1:08 of this track
Soundcloud. Also in this track I used a slightly different bass but similar around 0:40.

this is how I made the sound from the second song "Step right up" (I apologize in advance if this is nothing like what you are looking for but it sounds similar to me):
- this is all made in massive
OSCILLATORS
Osc 1: Chrome, set to bend -, set at generic octave, wavetable position set at about 9 oclock, intensity around the same, and the amp all the way up
Osc 2: Strontium, set to spectrum, set at same octave, used envolope one (attack level all the way up, and the decay level all the way up as well) to modulate the wavetable position from 11:00 - 2:00, intensity all the way up, amp at about 3:00.
Osc 3: Squelchy, set to spectrum, set at same octave, with wavetable position, intensity, and amp all the way up.
Modulation Osc: Turn on oscillator 1 phase modulation with pitch set at one octave below (-12) and set the phase at about 10:00.
FILTER SECTION
set to parallel with the second filter on but nothing in it.
Filter 1 : set to bandreject, apply envelope 1 to modulate the cutoff from about 9:00 to all the way up, Use macro control 2 to modulate the bandwith from being all the way to the left to about 9:30. Use this same macro to modulate the resonance from being all the way to the left to about 2:00.
VOICING SECTION
Set max and unisono voices both to 6, set to monophon, turn ON the pitch cut off, and use the shift key to move the cursor ever so slightly to the right (so much so that you can hear the difference, but the knob shouldn't look like it moved at all barley). turn pan position ON but leave knob all the way to the left.
OSC SECTION
I turned the time to about 11:00 so the glisses between notes are their but are a bit faster.
INSERT 1 SECTION
Sine shaper, dry/wet at 9:00, drive at 12:00
FX 1 SECTION
Brauner tube, dry/wet at 11:30, drive at 11
FX 2 SECTION
Dimension expander, dry/wet at 12, size at 12. (this makes the sound bigger, but with this setting you will most likely have to cut off the tail because it does linger a bit)
EQ SECTION
Everything on its generic setting except the High shelf is boosted to about 1-2:00.
Lastly I cut off anything below 150-200 hz and added in sub bass, resampled it, adding some distortion then eq'ing, then resampled again and added some more subtle effects. If this isn't what you are looking for I'm sorry, but i really like it. also if you would like to know how i made the bass from the first track let me know, and I'll show you that as well.
