sounds really bad dude. Like some guy farting. What is with the rhythm. Why do white people have such a hard time sounding funky. Its house. Right now it sounds like circus jumpstyle.

When I use synth bass, my chain is usually about 5- 8 plugins.

usually 1 pre and post eq
compressor
a multiband compressor
a transient shaper
some sort of harmonic/drive plugin

Here just messing around with headphones. No fx except on the bass. 1 sub bass, 2 other bass with about a chain of 8 plugins each. I don't get how you manage to make stuff that sounds so bad. I mean I haven't touched dance in years except this drunk adventure. I bet I could get a top 10 in less than a year. I mean at least you should be able to sound like your fav artists.



Er if you're talking about the bass thing I posted on sound cloud, i didn't use that in a song, I did that in half a second as a sample to show what I meant with the effect. I'm aware it sounds like ass.

Need a tut. LOL

White people can't dance, cause they don't dance.

i usually have one synth going into one fx channel for some gentle touches, then it's sent out to the 2-5 next channels, where i take different spectres of the sound, and apply various fx's on them, then they are all sent back to a new channel, where i glue the sound back together.


it can make for some really interesting sounds, especially basses. i can probably post up a video if anyone is interested in seeing it.

Some interesting stuff I've taken from all the posts here.
Looney - that's pretty funky and the sub is nicely isolated.

Firstly, get rid of the sonic maximiser.

You'd do way better with monitors tat actually can properly represent bass frequencies....(here we go again)....like the Yama HS80, Dynaudio BM5 etc.



I noticed the bass in a lot of good tracks have this warm squeezed sound which gives you that fizzy chest feeling, lol. That's why I took to using the BBE on bass. I'll be subbtle with it going forward.

Yep, I've put the Fostex monitors up for sale and will get something better as this bass thing always frustrates me as I'm not a moron and I think I know what I'm doing, so it's always annoying when the bass does not translate outside of the studio.

SUB - do people find a pure sine wave is thier go - to for sub? I read somewhere that using feedback filter resonance gives the purest sub.
