How do I make one of them proper rumbly but somehow really clear sounding sub basses? Been trying for ages with all sorts of synths samples and although I get near, never sounds anything like I want it to... Sure you know the sort of thing I mean. If not I'll try to get a sample... :D
plz upload a sample :cheese:Quote:

Feeding saws in to this put through a parallel filter network of a low pass at around 150Htz (so you clip harmonics above middle C) and a notch filter centered around the upper high frequencies will typically give you what you're looking for. Adding chorus and a tiny touch of reverb can thicken the sound, but be vrey conservative here. Using your chorus completely wet will make your bassline quite unstable. A note on the reverb used: Don't try to get as smooth a reverb sound as possible i.e. use a diffusion percentage of around 50% or less otherwise things will sound muddy. Exciters can make a differnece too.
Is this the kind of sound you mean?
