heard this sound in a couple of songs and i'm dying to recreate it or something similar, it's probably really simple but i've had no success in trying :(, if anyone could give some insight on how to make it, that'd be great. i'm using massive.





*edit* i'm aware of the help me make this sound thread, but most posts there seem to go ignored :/

Ooh, I like that sound...seems really...hollow. Can't wait to see what the pros come up with.

lots of reverb. pitch shifts. pretty basic though man. fool around and you can achieve that.

Nothing special really. Im not at my studio atm but my strong guess is two oscs, sine or triangle waves, high pitched with alot of reso.
Probably it has a slight lfo on the pitch, or it's pitchbend by hand in the daw. Lfo on filter low bass or band pass.

That's it really. But to be onest i don't like this sound at all. My advise is to just leave it and start experimenting to design your own sounds.
After all that's what makes you different from all other producers, your signature sounds.

Hope this helps!

Pretty much.. Portomento AKA glide on it as well.

Forgot about that one! Always really important for those nice gliding basses ;)

Wasn't that unitz track released on the circus cd that sounded ALL THE SAME?
like i know a lot of shit sounds the same, but literally pretty sure I'd get confused all of the time on the tracks off that release. lol
