Ez to all
Been trying to recreate the bass sound of the 16bit in this tune
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W_9lPlNoarM but cants get even near....these detuned or smth like that wobbles are so crazy, but i can't even get close to makin them
Does someone have any idea how a similar sound can be achieved
Much thanks in advance

formant -> distort -> filter

formant filtering
google it
I'd say layer up different formant filters

And the wobble is a sawtooth wave.

mehhh, maybe, I mean I haven't spoke to them or seen how they do it.
But I'd place my money on some of those spectral waves you get in massive or something similar. It's aggressive but there's something non saw'y about it

yea it sounds fmish too me, been a while since i heard it
my bet is on capsa/rusko style for synthesis or fm and heavily distorted and processed

i personally never want to hear a song with those sounds again. it would take away from it being so unique

i had best success by using fm synthesis... sin v sin... different octaves played simultaneously. use a scream filter with a high cutoff and high saturation. then bitcrush and overdrive.
good luck, it's very difficult sometimes.
