i am trying to recreate that really buzzy bass sound that sounds like the speaker is buzzing or cracking...the perfect example of this is in ooah's "fine cut bodies remix"

the sound starts at around around 0:45 seconds.....is this just as simple as a square and sawtooth wave? or is it some kind of spectral wave? thanks in advance to anyone that helps me out with this..p

I would put money on it being the Subtraktor in Reason.

You can make that sound with about 4 or 5 clicks of the mouse.

so what waveshapes would that be comprised of..i mean, even subtractor allows u to select what wave shapes you are using right?

U can do it with the 2 of the basic waveshapes + turning on the FM knob. Play with the FM knob for different FX. If you automate the FX knob and the Filter at the same time you can get some nice effects.

You can get some really good sounds from Subtraktor quite easily. Reason is still the easiest DAW for automation too.

A single square wave will get you buzzing. Add filtering, fx, etc or more oscillators with different waveforms for different sounds.

Put it on a silent track and resample it.
