how to...

[abcgle]

I know theres a how to sound like thread and ill probably get drilled for this but anyway...

Can anyone help me to achieve the bass sound in 16-bits remix of she said.

any help would be appreciated.

surely
A) you could spend some time experimenting yourself (thus becoming technically better, etc...)
B) develop your own sound ( so much more satisfying )

everyday after work i go home and experiment with my daw and various vsts and how they work.

This is one sound i cannot get close to and want to acheive.

Mm, but to be honest, I reckon after splitting frequencys/re-sampling, it all comes down to individual producers' effect's chain, which in that case, it could be that you'll never get this specific sound, which in turn is why all you can do is really experiment

This is just what I'd do to try and get that sound, note I haven't tried so I don't know if this would actually work, and there are guys on here much more knowledgeable than me, but since it's late I figured I'd reply to save you waiting for ideas till the morning when people get active again.

From what I've read/tried these sounds are all about the effects. So experiment with chorus/bit crushing/distortion/ring mod < these are usually the ones I see come up most often.

Ok so I'd get 2 square waves an octave apart. It sounds to me like he's switching between having these tuned to eachother perfectly for one run at the bass for an and then detuning them slightly for another. Apply your flanger and/or chorus. Fiddle with it till it sounds good. Cut below 80hzish let your sub handle everything below that. If you've done this right you should have a sort of wet wobbly sound going. (You could also try experimenting with a saw wave an octave above the top square to get a metallic tinny sound in your bass, but I don't think this 16-bit one does that)

Send this sound to another channel, but don't mute the source, add distortion and a bit crusher, maybe even some ring mod. If youve done this you should have created a nice thick crunchy sound. Mess with the levels and decide whether you want the flanger chorus wet wobbly part to come through more or whether you want the nasty crunchy sound to come through more. All that's left to do now is EQ it to make it sound nice and thick. (note: sending it to another channel and leaving the source unmuted is probably bad practice unless you're splitting frequencies - if you want to split them then i'd let the flanger/chorus square wave handle the higher end of the mid range and high end and let the nasty crunchy one handle the low and mid range)

Add your low pass filter with resonance turned up a little (to give it a metallic snap to it) and set your LFO to the filter cut off.

Some people might recommend a formant filter to get that vowel sound on the go. It's up to you really. That bass is all about the effects processing. You just have to mess around till you get it.

Now add a sub in under that, just a pure sine should do.

use FM to modulate a second oscillator, and the first oscillator should be some odd format or wavetable, then FM the fuck out of it.
try different pitches (any 1, 7, -12 7) for different timbres.
usually i find it works best if the first oscillator is around -12, and the upper is 0 or higher. when you use FM to blend them together you get that nice midrange sound.
this is just in my experience.

You could also learn to title your threads. Pick a title that contains the words you would search for if you were searching for the answer to your question.

FM makes me hard!

This also would be an effective method to get that sound.
