How does Benny Benassi create that sound

Hi folks,

In Benny Benassi's songs Who's Your Daddy and Satisfaction, he creates a low-pitch, guttural almost growling sound that very pleasing. Can anyone identify specifically how he creates that?

Here's a link to the first song:

Thanks.

Have you tried adding more analogz? Perhaps some sidechainz, too....

compressed sawtooth with reverb. reverb must be used as an insert, comrpessor must be after reverb.

2nd osc is detuned 5 or 8ct's up and at about 40% of the volume. (osc 1/2 mix knob heavily on 1). It adds that odd harmonic, then run it thru the UAD Fairchild and onto a sidechain compressor.

I know this might be a little mean, but I really am beginning to resent these "How do I get this cool noise made by this semi-famous/famous artist?" threads.

Sad but true.

Analog. Definitely Analog.
Trilogy will do the trick , although Vanguard and other virtual analog should work as well.

Get a sawtooth ,
Eq it ,
then sidechain a reverb to it.

Does anyone remember how back in the day this exact question was asked 3 times a week? Now the same question's asked but you just replace benni with Deadmau5. Ah... the wheel of time...

Hardware! He also has an engineer I believe.

Sounds like a Virus, Z3ta has a patch called Virus, that can do something similar, but doubt it can sound as big.

THAT IS CORRECT HIS COUSIN ALLE BENASSASI IS HIS ENGINEER I WATCHED IN THE STUDIO WITH BENNY BENASSAI A WHILE BACK AND BENNY ONLY SITS & CHECKS UP ON ALLE TO SEE HOW THE TRACK SOUNDS KIND OF LIKE TIESTO AND DENNIS WAAKOP REIJERS

That bass sound from Satisfaction was originally created with a Nord Lead, it is a Saw wave with loads of portamento/glide on... with some extreme compression on.

Not funny.

Posted by DeZmA on May-03-2009 20:57:

1 saw + white noize, portamento, reverb and sidechained compression with quite extreme ratio and threshold settings
