Deep bass with 3xOsc?

Hey all fellow dubsteppas.
I am working on a new tune and I am really having a hard time getting that really deep bass.
I am making my bassline with 3xOsc and can't find anything on how to get a nice deep bass.

Edit: I haven't put any subbass in yet.

This is what it sounds like now.

Thanks in advance!

deep bass? for sub in 3xosc put octave to c8 and turn volume down on osc 2 and 3 and 1 all the way up and chose the sinewave thats a deep bass for u :P
otherwise just play around with square and trianglewaves if u want something like that

Thank you! Already helped a ton. Though I'm still a rookie at producing music, so I don't really get the "put octave to c8" part. Can you explain it for me? :)

You can turn the CRS knob all the way down to -24 as well.

Some people like to layer a triangle wave or square wave 12 semitones higher as well too. This is lowpassed.

Just be aware of some phazing issues that may occur using 2 sine ways on top of each other. Either switch to a different waveform or adjust the phase (slight detune in 3xosc)
