Help me sound like StereoHeroes!
Hi, I've been playing the drums for 5 years now and just started getting to computer production. My favourite Dubstep / Hip-Hop / Electronica group ever -- StereoHeroes have served as an inspiration to me for years now, and I need help matching their style. What software do they use to amount such smooth basslines.
Examples of their work:

They're so amazing. Their drums are fairly simple, and can't say I've ever struggled to make something as decent, haha. But, if you take this track 00:52-57 and onwards; how did they make that sound? It's so clean. Is it an intrument (I thought it was a trumpet!), or is it simple synthesizers? These guys don't seem to have a vast record with musical instruments, so I'm assuming everything is in fact synthetic and automated.
Haha, sorry for sounding like a fanboy, but I just want to know what I need to learn to create such smooth beats.

Thanks for the fast reply!ToxicBass wrote:Massive...

Will do. You reckon it's all Massive, or are there additional synths. They use Ableton so I'm assuming they use Ableton's pre-set synths.
Re: Help me sound like StereoHeroes!
You could make that in Massive pretty easily with little processing. Just search what I said in Youtube, you'll find a tutorial for it.meow meow wrote:Thanks for the fast reply!ToxicBass wrote:Massive...

Re: Help me sound like StereoHeroes!
blue is actually super awesome. massive is kinda complex. alchemy is nice and simple, especially for those easy wave forms, just do 2 square waves with a 2 octave spread and lfo to cutoff... but you cant go wrong either way!

Re: Help me sound like StereoHeroes!
Yes! This helped a lot. Now I'm able to make the "Pixie" bassline, but I knocked it down an octave and added some EQ. Now I still need to find out how they made their Effigy bassline: http://youtu.be/yUm0l3GtwAYmakemerich wrote:blue is actually super awesome. massive is kinda complex. alchemy is nice and simple, especially for those easy wave forms, just do 2 square waves with a 2 octave spread and lfo to cutoff... but you cant go wrong either way!
Also, does anyone know how to make the keys played flow into each other? I used to know how to do it but I forgot :<
Cheers lad for your help.

Portamento? Bad spelling I think. It helps glide notes between each other. You can edit the time it takes for that to happen also.meow meow wrote:Yes! This helped a lot.

Oh snap, mono is working wonders. Thank you, 2Day! Any advice for the bassline?

Re: Help me sound like StereoHeroes!
OK, modulating the pitch and raising the octaves doesn't amount to such a clean, crisp sound. Guess I have to take this to the House Forum.
