hey guys, looking to make hollow reese bass.............. but dont know where to start


(at 00:19, :20, :23, :24, :25)

what wave shapes are they using?
and how do they get it to move like that?

your help would be awesome

Saw waves and a lot of filter automation. The rest is pretty much just going to be trial and error with different filters and automating their cutoffs. Check the reese thread and any reese thread on DoA and you should be headed in the right direction.

Try automating notches (as well as the resonance size), BP and LP filters. Double your reese and have different automation on each one. Compress pretty hard to bring out the quiet parts. Don't go overboard with all the effects, the movement comes from filtering with subtle movements from other effects (chorus, flanger(please use this sparingly)). comb filters are nice too

those actually sound more like squares then saws. I'd try using squares with minimal distortion, and maximum filtering.

Definetely squares imo. Sounds alot like the sound they use in the A team remix, which is squares with some bandpass/ lowpass+highpass filtering I think. Came kind of close to recreating it once. A tad of distortion and some compression and you should have it.

I'm recreating the A Team remix atm, I came close to the reese using comb filters as well as those

Yep, sound like squares... check out SeamlessR on youtube, he's made something similar in one of his vids and you could tweak from there!
