What do you mean IF they wanted to do that? That doesn't make any sense. They already do do that (i.e., offer both a hardware and a software version for the reasons I mentioned). Are you implying that they don't? Explain.

As far as offering a VSTi version, well DJ RANN pretty much hit the nail on the head.

You missed the point. I'm saying producers don't tell everyone exactly what they're doing and how they're achieving "their" sound (why would they? so everyone can rip them off?). They say whoever is sponsoring them at the time. The best was that "home video" of that guy who owns all those studios doing a tour of one then just starts talking about how great the new antelope clock is.

My example was joel has been on these forums for a couple of years giving tips and advice, then suddenly like last month it's announced that for the last couple of years (and basically every big track he's done) he's been using a certain brand of plugin, but never mentioned it before. What I'm saying is the technology matters far less than the composition and sounds he uses.

Yeah, quite frequently too, but the anti-deadmau5 mob eventually got him away.

All the time, and he actually was quite open to discuss production methods but there were too many haters so he stopped posting here in november.

Are you saying Eric Prydz uses ONLY soft synths?
Really?


I have to take a listen to some Deadmau5 song... I haven't hear any, at least I don't know if I have. Any suggestion what would be his "best" song to listen?

The best way to get truly good bass that makes the coochies swell up, and your email box of choice to get cluttered with dirty emails of "when you come to town, we're going to do this and this." Well, instead of wrestling your favorite VSTi, compressor and eq pluggin, is to...... ::drum roll::


Buy a good analogue synth and a good analogue compressor. Not as essential as the first two for the actual good bass sound but a decently transparent converter and monitors will help things out a bit as well. If you want thin bass, use softsynths and software compressor for bass. There is nothing alchemic to making a great bass sound, you just need to have the proper equipment. So save up money for good equipment and then learn how to use that equipment and good bass will be pouring out of your tip into coochies around the world.

/boogie nights methodology of getting good bass.
