Bass processing in FL Studio
Posted: Wed Mar 12, 2014 12:20 am
Hey everyone, I've got a not so quick question.
So a while back I started getting into darker, deeper dubstep (Badklaat, Biome, Commodo, all that good stuff) and had been producing for 2-3 years but had never done resampling.
So as time went, I got better and better at it (still not too good though) and developed and varied techniques. I use FL and so far, for bass processing, I.ve found it to be extremely annoying, probably because of my idiotic file management
Here is what I do to get my basses and here is why Id like to find a different way of doing it:
-Build a solid drum pattern, and get the raw massive sound to play to notes i want.
-Record that sound as wave, while mutting drums
-Open another project, in which I drag my .wav and frequency split it
-Record the different freq splitted track
-Export those three new tracks in the same new project
-From there, I get working on effects
-Once Im satisfied with what I've done, record the post-processed pattern and drag its wav onto my main project
-Mix it into the track
But here is the really annoying part: I don't know what my sound will be like at first, so after having it fully processed, I might realize the massive patch needs tweeking, or I might want to change the LFO. The problem is, in order for me to do that, I have to:
-Record the changed pattern
-Put it through my freq splitted channels, and record again
-Put it back onto the project and reassigning it to the fx channel
-Record it again
-Drag it to my main project.m
Its just too much work when I just want to change an lfo from 1/2 to 1/4 :p
Because of that, I often loose interest in a project after I end up with litteraly 20 different .wav when I only use one and get confused.
Surely there's gotta be an easier way. How do other people do it?
Thanks for the help
