FM is good for reeses, I use FL's Toxic Biohazard for some - after a tip from the Audeka guys (srsly check out their reese stuff, it's awsm).

Tried a different approach (layered w/ a sub):

So i have made a few reese basses but i'm struggling to recreate something like this one. I have massive and camel phat if that helps.

Just looking for guidance on how to get that gritty type sound to go with the bass...

It sounds like it's done by someone who knows what they are doing, so by that token, it's unlikely DSF will ever come close.

Or then someone figures to add chorus on a reese after bandpass filter sweeps.

high pass filter, lfo on cutoff, resample and layer it?

A great tip for getting your sub bass to match the reese is vocode it to the signal. Recently discovered that trick and it's so useful because it's subtle but effective.

Exactly what I did for this one:

How'd you go about doing that? o.O

The reese it's self or linking the sub to match it perfectly?



Here's another Reese that I tried another different approach with; pretty much just processed white noise with very little synth design

Linking the sub to it using a vocoder, if you don't mind explaining that'd be really cool

ah, its quite simple, just set the link the sub and reese to a vocoder like you would anything else. Make the sub the mod. sound and the reese the carrier. Then play around with the bandwidth fx and fat. I also linked the LP filter to the sub that I used to automate the reese.


if i didnt explain to well (5AM here lol) I'll upload pictures later, just ask!

Yeahhhh I'm not quite following? lol I'm working in logic, so would I use the sub strip as a send onto my reese...somehow? or...?

that doesnt take away the oopmh of the sub doing that?

This is my first real attempt at making a decent reese. The first is the dry and the second is the wet. It has about 7 stages of resampling. If people want to know how I did it, including the Massive patch settings, let me know

I'm pretty happy with it for my first try. I can't get down the complex filtering, though.

Any thoughts? It's unprocessed, except for possible FM8 internal fx. Can post screenshots of patch and whatever processing tips for this specific reese if anyone wants.

Very basic. Do some more processing with effects outside of fm8. Distortion and heavy filtering is what makes Reeses sound great.

Is that a luna reese? I dont have much experience trying to filter them, so i'm not sure how to go about it. Probably the same as any reese I guess.

Heavy filtering always sounds good with lots of tight distortion... Get your base reese, then distort it to taste so theres lots of harmonics over the whole freq. range. Once its distorted enough I would add a lowpass, a highpass (bandpass works well too) and 2 notch filters. draw out (or modulate however) some automations so that all of the filters are doing something at the same time. The key is finding hot spots to filter where there are a lot of harmonics. The more distorted it is in a certain freq. range(without over distorting), the better results your gonna get out of filtering in that range. A good and easy way to show this is to make a very basic reese, use overdrive distortion (in the mids/highs) and then use a notch filter or two. the more you turn up the drive, The more noticeable the filtering becomes.

It is a Luna reese! I've also made a reese in FM8 that I might upload to show.

I've been using Volcano to filter after watching that Big Chocolate vid here he makes a typical bass. His sounds awesome, mine sounds lame. So maybe my problem is at the distortion level rather than the filtering level. I'll experiment and see.

Does it sound okay so far though?
