Recently I hav started writing dubstep............
I use Fruity Loops 4 + soundforge and this enables me to write the drums pretty much to the sound that I want.
However, I'm having difficulty making a decent warbled bass sound..........
Anyone use fruity loops and achieve decent bass sound?
If so what Vsts dou you have attached and how do you make it?
I have pro 52 as a VST, has anyone used this to get decent sounds?
What other Vsts and programmes do other folk reccommend?
I have access to Cubase SX with a1, legacy cell, and Vstation syths - anygood??
Cheers

I don't mean to be short, but if you looked a whole 30cm down the production page you can see a thread asking what you have asked, and the search button also will answer this question which seems to be unearthed every week by the latest member.
As for Vst's

, i use Albino, Z3ta and Absynth to make basslines, i recommend them.

Loefah doesn't use FL, Skream does though, although i doubt he uses it for bass. But the 3 osc plug in is quite a nice synth, its not the instrument its the user, its more likely that you will get better results by knowing one free plug-in soft synth inside out than briefly aquainting yourself with a load of dogs bollocks ones.

yeh its the basic synth in fruity loops. 3 oscillators, filters, envelopes etc.

I think it's great learning how to do that bass.
So you can avoid doing it.

absynth 3an4 are pretty grimy once you get around the learning curve.
you can have some fun with the filters just make sure youve added a master filter under the 3 oscillaters then in the envelope section just add new and choose master filter frequency... then resonance when you reach this point for extra depth. i have to say tho its an art. even tho i can make bass and give it some merkyness it still takes a long time to make something new and original. fun watchin everythin in the room shake includin my hair lol...
i would also suggest using propper speakers that can handle the low frequencies cos when i listen back on me head phones i cant really hear the deepest bass at all. hope this helps......

i see... yeah i never really used fruity so that explains why i wouldn't know about it i guess. as far as what i use, im really digging the free synth from FXpansion called Orca. Its really simple but great for subs. Really though, i bought reaktor about 2 years ago so i try to use it whenever possible, and ive gotten some damn great sounds out of some of the synths in it.

Has some nice sounds, no? And that Flappin“preset is already kinda obese.

concentrate on getting a sub. bottom end is more important.
B4 u could use vst's with fruity the bass was made with the ts404.
id never tried the 3x osc until a few months bak while doing a collab. very impressive.
upgrade ur fruity 2 studio version and get hold of v station and albino.
