sorry for the subject lol

this is a bit embarrasing. but i actually never learnt making these rough bass patches so this is an uncharted territory for me.. how to make that bass sound that u can hear for example in oldschool stuff like el b as well as in some von d tracks and specifically this tune by joker



i mean that kinda lofi, long note (not the squares playing the riff) that kind of glitches and that at first is played lower for a couple of measures and after that a couple of octaves higher.. how to get that sound??

also, i wanna know how u can get those nice glitchy sounds that are also featured in the bassline in the "verse" of that track?

I really think it shouldn't matter... if I remember the video above, he essentially found the sound by accident by tweaking random filters until he had something that sounded right. I would say you could easily accomplish something similar in Massive (or whatever you use)... saw wave (or try some digital wavetables?) -> scream filter modulation -> distortion? Bound to produce something along those lines if done properly

i can only work with native ableton plugins. you'd have to be quite a wizard to get that type of sound from, say, operator
