drumcode remainings III style bassline

[loopdon]

Hey there!

There a lots of tracks that use similar bass sounds (birdy, shockabuku volume 2 (thomas krome) and i would
love to know what makes them sound the way they do.

certain synth?
maxxbass on bass with extra peaks in the very low area that get cut out after the maxxbass treatment?! sines? dist? me iz stuk :roll:

of course these sounds have become a little stale, but i would like to know
what was so characteristic of this 'bassmonster'-''era''...

you know, juz gathering info and stuff

so if anyone can help me out

[jesus]

possibly just detuned sawwaves then filtered. sine underneeth for extra bass. not sure but osmething along those lines.

[loopdon]

thanx, that could help.

these basslines have been described as dnb ones somewhere.

would that be a direction?

could someone please enlighten me :roll:

someone here must know ;)

[dirty_bass]

Erm
I tend to layer a couple of sounds together
Sawtooth and maybe a deep sinewave sound too
Use some bass saturation compression
a compressor sidechained to the kick to duck the bass a little
Lots of eq
Have the filter envelope attack low so the filter sweeps in.

[loopdon]

thankyou so much, dirty bass! I will try that... :lol:

how deep would that sinewave be in hz approx.? 40 / 50 Hz or deeper?#

please

[loopdon]

well i have achieved the sound i was lookin 4 now (found a nice tut on the subject)

(its in german...)

osc 1: saw
osc 2: detuned sine

then lay out a nice spacey melodie (kind of) and put a lowpass filter on it deep down.

lil bit of rez perhaps and some dist + short metallic verb

try two saws detune one a few cents,then you get that phasing common with dnb reese bass. you need some good distortion though. also a plugin http://spinwarp.com/downloads/ReeseMx.zip might come in handy

[loopdon]

again, thanx... ;)

[dirty_bass]

don`t get any bass phasing.
Phase on a bassline is VERY BAD for vinyl, it will ruin the cut.

I use the basslane freeware to handle that :lol:

http://www.otiumfx.com/basslane.php

Basslane is a free audio effect for VST compatible hosts. It's a simple, yet very handy little utility to control the stereo field of lower frequencies in your audio material. Allows you to define the processed frequency range while using several monitoring options, and to tweak how much you want it squezed.

What is this useful for?

• Regain tightness in the bottom of your mix by preventing kick drums and bass lines flying around all over the stereo field.

• Drumtracks mixed from multiple sources, or processed with delay, reverb etc will often just sound confusing if the kickdrum isn't centered. Just drop Basslane on the track.

• Experiment with effects on various tracks without losing definition and focus in the bass region.

• Very useful when mastering for vinyl records.

just tested that lil pluggie. nice one. ;)

which 'good distortion' prog would you recommend?

[j_s]

Guitar Suite has some nice sounding distortion/ampsims. They're free too...

Little Green Amp by Wurr audio is also a decent free VST.

If you don't mind paying - Trash & Amplitude seem pretty good - NI's Guitar rig might be worth checking out too, though I've not heard that yet...

Oh, i've got that NI one somewhere...

Guitar rig is great, i don't even play guitar!
It comes up as an effect in cubase, its got some good retro style gear in there and some good distortion too!
