Originally posted by Kismet7 Op seems to have left the thread. 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.

I think you just don't know how to use softsynths, or you are just not good at programming synths, not to be an insult, but, I don't know how you can say you can only get thin bass out of softsynths...... That is retarded. I have gotten many a bass shakin my body with nothing but my DAW (no hardware) . Low sine waves (or many others), eq, compression, its all you need. You do not NEED hardware. Sorry, I just don't buy it.

+1 ..... his last post was a load of poo...why is it people always say you need this and that synth to get this big fat sound.and you must spend loads of money in order to do so........DEADMAU5 is just good a programing synths.its as simple as that..he doing it over ten years+ now...before he became really famous thru faxing berlin he was doing 6-8 of making music..some people think he only making tracks a year and then hit it big time.


if anybody reading the last issue of future music mag....there was an interview with laidback luke.he only uses software synths...and his sound is big and fat? you could'nt tell the difference if it made with software or hardware when listen to his tracks!!

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.

+1, please explain

The virus powercore and virus tdm uses the exact coding used in the virus b. If you import any powercore virus sounds into the TI and export them both, the sound is exactly the same. (presuming you use the usb outputs)

It would be stupid for access to make a vsti of the TI as it would probably take up a ridiculous amount of cpu when using it to the same potential the hardware has. Plus as somebody said, it would kill their hardware sales and probably pu them out of business.

What are you some insecure DAW fanboy? I use a DAW myself, but why would I wave a DAW flag when I know that bass sounds from Analogue gear like Voyager are better. Vsti's are thin in comparison to Analogue, need evidence? Go to your local guitar center or sam ashe or whaever music store is in your area and play with some synths. Need more evidence? Google.com

I dont care if you dont buy it, its your loss, not mine. I'm just trying to help the OP find the best bass he can possibly find, so yah, vsti's can make decent bass sounds, but in comparison to the analogue synths out there they are indeed thin.

Originally posted by Lucidity You guys can keep talkin crap about the mau5, I know people don't like his music but, honestly I have never heard any producer from any genre make sound, sound as good as he does. That might make his head a little too big but, its true. I am not trying to make music like his, but, I am trying to achieve the same or higher quality. As for his bass, maybe he does use hardware but, you can achieve it with software, just keep practicing. Sound is sound, I am a true believer that you can achieve the same with software as with hardware, you just gotta know what you are doing. I know this is not a big help but, I am still trying myself.

Since this thread has turned into train wreck, I forgot you made this heart felt contribution to this thread already.

What is interesting is that you acknowledge Deadmau5 has great sound, and probably have seen his youtube video of his Analogue synth filled studio, yet think he can get that sound with software or would use software to get that sound when he has a Analogue synth stockpile. Mind you, that video is old and now he probably has an even bigger stockpile of Analogue gear. And then another person in this thread came in talking about that stuff is just for show, he gets paid for advertising, he doesn't really use it that much lol, something along those lines. And then another dude comes in "its the way he magically turns the knobs, and changes parameters on software that makes the big sound happenz." No one else can do it, it takes 6 to 8 years to get big bass sounds. ROFL...trainwreck of funny comments in this thread. Deadmau5 must be wiping away laughter tears with popcorn at this point. Amidst all the funny, im here sharing objective evidence that might actually get the OP to the big sound hes looking for, and threw in a funny on the first page, sickazz contribution all around!

Maybe if you guys get a hive mind going, you can defeat the evil objective evidence superpowahs!

Where does his sound really come from?
By the end of 2006, joel was asked to test a new product by fxpansion called D-CAM synths pack... a couple of months later we hear faxing berlin, his first song out of his confort zone( listen to his productions before faxing berlin). Then the rest followed: not exactly, move for me, contact, i remember, jaded, arguru, alone with you, etc... all of who have that deadmau5 signature sound created with software.

Anybody notice the lack of room treatment and the positioning of his monitors (in a right-angle corner). I can't imagine that the acoustics in that giant box of a room are any good, yet he breaks all the rules of proper studio monitoring. Interesting.

If you know your monitoring setup well, you will know how to adjust your mixes so that they sound good regardless of your accoustic surroundings

I don't disagree with you and that's fine for us nobodies, but a guy with his success??? You'd think he'd have that studio pimped out by pro acoustic technicians. Not that I care really - if it works for him then it works for him, just noting an interesting observation.
