how do I make this sound!

Everyone else ask it.. its my turn

I like the bass sound [Not bassline] from freefrom five no more convos alot, I can get close but never enough bottom end.
This one should be easy..Id like to be able to make it with the subtractor.

Sample: http://putstuff.putfile.com/76375/1411583

I have to do a poo now..so ill stop typing..peace.

Wipe yer arse, then try the following...

Start with a subtractor, Set osc 1 as a saw, and osc 2 as a sine an octave lower. Open the filter 98% with a hint of resonance with no envelope mod.

Patch the subtractor through the scream4, set the mode to Tape. Adjust the speed knob to 90% and the compression to 50% and feel the warm bottom end.

You may need to tweak the mix between the oscillators on the subtractor in favour of the saw, and maybe set the polyphony to 1 (monophonic).

Have fun!

What am i setting the speed and compression on?

The scream 4...

See the list of things that the two black knobs at the bottom can turn into? They become speed/compression controls when the unit is in Tape mode (turn the big knob so that it points to Tape).

cheers mate. that helps alot with the bottom end

I know. The subtractor sounds somewhat cold and harsh by today's standards, that Tape distortion really helps add some warmth and relaxes the harshness. I use it all the time

Cool tut Aquila. I use FL Studio 7 and was wondering if there was a VST similar to Scream 4, which I could use within the FL environment, to warm up things a little.

I assume you are talking about the PSP Vintage Warmer. In that case, is there any way to get around the latency it introduces so that i can use it on individual tracks? I love the sound of it and often put it on my master channel, but i dont always want it to affect everything. If there was some way to put it on a single track, but still have everything play together that would be awesome.

Use one instance of PSP Vintage Warmer on several audio tracks, you mean?

I don't use too many vst's to be honest but PSP's Vintage Warmer that DJAnthonyRos mentioned is good, but I've only ever used it in mastering so I can't really tell if it has any latency issues.

However a while back I stumbled upon a cute little free tube preamp emulator by Musicrow which seems to add considerable warmth to sounds. Have a look at it [[ LINK REMOVED ]]

i only have problems using vintage warmer on my external synths, messes up the latency.. but on vsti synths and audio it works fine.
