Im sure a lot of stick will probably come with this post but ah well.
I just wanted to know if anyone has any tips or ideas (as im an amateur) on how to create the second bass that comes in the tune, the one with less attack on it and sounds a little more metallic
cheers, and big ups to vivek by the way, massive tune

Ramp/Saw wave LFO's on the cutoff, over a distorted reese, bit of post filter distortion if your feeling bold...

it was the wrong bass that you gave me mate but i appreciate it, i made a pretty nice patch with it. You have any ideas for the harder bass?

giv me an exact time marker its occuring in, the only attack haivng metallic sound I here there is a ramp lfo over some kinda distorted patch

:Edit, I just listened to the entire tune, I hear that and a modified hoover.

At 50 seconds in you have the ramp LFO thing, and a really really fast lfo'd white noise sweep.

Fuck me, I wish I could break down sounds like that with a quick listen...

Its generally quite hard, if your working with talented synthesists... Im still, years in, trying to replicate the synth Mujava used in Township Funk... And damn'd if I could make synth sax's like joker can... but some of these bass patches are common concepts really dude... The ramp lfo/rhythmic gate's been around since psytrance, the reese underneath has been there since... well the dawn of EDM... and you combine the two and viola! $$$ ...

The VAST majority of EDM is built around simple enough concepts, its all about creative application of them...

yeah i really appreciate your reply man you obviously know what you're doing, i just think im not advanced enough as a producer to do precisely what you have suggested but yeah, cheers

What DAW are you using?

What synths?

Im on reason (yes i havnt invested in logic yet) and im the most comfortable with thor but i can use the other synths a little

Ehhh I wish I could help you man, reason is a completely different ballpark from real DAWs though...

fair enough, hopefully a reason user will decide to help me out

Its kind of all the same concept. You just have to look at it like, "how would I achieve that sound if I had rackmounted outboard gear?"

It's a neat idea, but I think it defeats the purpose of going digital for managing audio.

its just when i put the lfo on the filter it doesnt sound very hard , its still sounding too smooth

What do you mean hard/smooth? Distort it.

problem solved, the env. on the filter of the reese too low, lacked a bit of crunch. Thanks for your tuting mate!

haha, "real daws" you kids on DSF crack me up

Why? Reason isn't a DAW. standalone, it is a midi production suite, and reWired, it is a massive VSTi with dedicated midi sequencer.

i love Reason! it's not a digital audio workstation.

Ahhh your so right It's got nothing to do with digital audio. I mean it's not like you can use digital synthesisers within reason, create drum loops, use samples, and play with a mixer... The only thing this is good for is makeing fun of and looking at all the cool color coded stuff!!!!!

Reason is a DAW just as any other... FL, Logic, Ableton, Acid, Cubase, etc... It's also a very effective plug in (i'll give you that one ). Those who bash it are most likely ones that fail with it
