Read This! Want more drive? Try this subbassline tutorial!

Hey Guys!

I thought i would share someting on how i do my subbass! This may not be to all tastes, but i have put up a picture tutorial on how to make a quick, easy and driving subbass!

Hope you´ll like it! It punches good in my speakers, and it sound good

So.. i will go throuh all steps by in what order i would put them in my sequencer. 1 Vst, 2 Comp, 3 Eq, 4 The saturator!

1). I set up my Bassline vst from Audiorealism (Don´t have it? GET IT!). Some easy settings as you can see! But put extra attension to the volume knob!

2). Here i have put the Live plugin Compressor 1 , with the settings shown, but you can use another later if you dont like it!

3) Here i have put some eq on the bass, and im using the Waves Q10 Paragraphic EQ , and the settings shown in the picture. However, this is something you could tweak later so that it fits nice with your kick.

4) Now the last and most essential part of the bass. Here is where we put the drive in the bass. I have used the Live Saturator and put it on Sine drive and then the setting shown!

So there you have it, and now you can start to play around!
Cheer

Cool tutorial, thx for the effort.
An alternative for those not owning bassline and (the ridiculous overpriced) waves plugins would be to use a saw and a sine on a synth, along with some overdrive. Check some other EQ-plug-ins such as the voxengo stuff, their free stuff is really awesome, the other vst's are only a fraction of the price of waves.

Just a little question: is a wise to set a bass to full width? (I don't know live so forgive me if this is a stupid question lol)

Just a little question: is a wise to set a bass to full width? (I don't know live so forgive me if this is a stupid question lol)


I know its overprice, but the guy at the music store said that it was one of the best, so i just took it, but i like it! But i realized later that i there are other, cheeper eq´s that is just as good!

Any way, regariding your question. I guess you mean, is it wise to have such a wide freq.range on the bass? Well, the purpose of this bass, is that it should be played on a low volume and the layerd with some mid and high basslines. When you mix this bassline, you should add it almost as the last thing. Start at 0 when you play your mix and then slow turn it up until you feel and hear when it starts to work with your kick!

Dont know if this is the best way to do it, but i works for me, and hopefullly i will work for you

Cheers

Ok , does the Bassline come in different uniforms? :P Didnt know that. hehe..

The Eq is from Waves, but any good eq will work, but i always suggest using a paragraphic eq. I find it easyer to work with!

Substorm, thanks, I downloaded one of the dll files.

BTW: I own a TB303 but the Doepfer sync box Iuse died on me. So I can use "the real thing" but it will obviously not keep in sync. I am actualy thinking: should I replace the Doepfer sync to midi box or should I just use AR Bassline? Go figure....

Not quite, what I actually meant is the width of the sound signal of the saturator, afaik it's best to keep the bassy signals mono as much as possible in order to avoid problems on larger sound systems (and skipping needles). Could be wrong though, that's what I was wondering .
