i have been using fruity loops 5 now for two monts, i can make pretty muuch every sound apart from the awesome sub bass, not even a crappy one let alone the perfect sub bass of fred baker, i would like to know how to make a half decent sub bass so that i can make a complete tune and post it in the forum

Have you tried using a compressor?
seval
what do you mean, taking a normal kick and putting it through a compressor, or making a real heavy bass in a vsti like vanguard and putting it through a compressor?
ErikC
Well, I've never heard any Fred Baker songs but just use a simple 1osc synth and filter it down some and then compress it like hell. You can get some nice deep goa base like that.

mess around with the Sytrus preset "bass - synth", it's very good for subbass.

using compression you'll be able to make your bass louder without it "over-amping". With your bass beatz try turning your low-end frequencies up on the E.Q then compress it just a little (turn the threshold level up and the amount down).

Put the peak controller fx on your kick, link it to your subbass channel, and play with the peak controller settings.
