Hey guys,
Ive been producing for around about a year now, starting to come up with some stuff im liking. At the moment, probably my favourite producer is max graham;- i am really digging the sound he is making.
I am posting this to the experienced producers that frequent this forum;
Are you able to explain/demonstrate how
1) He gets that really phat bass sound.
2) How he gets his drums sounding so incredibly clean.
I use cubase, Battery 2, and all the main VST synths that are available. I understand he uses a virus C for his bass, but if anyone could help me understand how to create that sound etc, i would really appreciate it.
Thanks. |

| I think the bass sound you are referring to is the one used in Owner of a lonely heart (Remix). It was used a lot in speed garage back in the lat 90's it's kind a deep rumble. I for one would be interested to find out how to make it as well. |

Hey,
Ive created a couple of samples from a max graham track. I Chose his remix of owner of a lonely heart, because its probably the track that most of you will be most familiar with :)
First, heres a sample of his bass;
Im looking for information/demonstration on how to recreate this sound.

Secondly, heres a sample of his percs;
Im just curious if anyone can provide some good info on how he gets his drums so damn clean and nice.

Im aware of the techniques used, but i guess im looking for more in depth information than just, "use compression", or "eq" it.
Sweet, thanks guys. |

I come up with this :
http://perso.wanadoo.fr/TranceDevot...xgrahamBass.mp3
(Made with FM7)
Very easy to make this kind of bass :
First you need two sine oscillators(A and B), one panned 15% left, the other 15% right.
Let them go to the OUTPUT at 100% level in the matrix
Then use two saw oscillators(C and D) like this :
C frequency ratio is detuned 1.0070
D freq ratio is detuned 1.0070
Now in the matrix C --> 32 --> A
D --> 32 --> B
Equalize it like this :
bass resonance from 70 to 320
notch from 350 to 1500
Let me know if you want the patch |

I have msn installed but I don't use it.
Here is a package where you will find the preset for FM7 and if you own Fruityloops you will have the equalization settings :

For the percs, you just have to find good samples ... |

thanks man,
did you create those percs as well? |
|
|
| everyMan |
| No I sampled the beat you gave me. |

Ok man,
Ive loaded the patch up in cubase, using the fm7, and it sounds nothing at all like yours haha.
I dont have fruity loops, so could you run me through the steps i need to take to get it sounding phat :)
Cheers. |
