Pumping Basses

Hello guys, I'm trying here to reproduce some pumping basses like that encountered in Vipzone Vinyl Loops.

maybe delay, hard compressor settings or sidechaining..

any tips are welcome :)

tks my little boys!!

thats just some saw waves with distortion on one and bitcrushing on another.

Hi Ross, tks for this useful comment too!

But I'm not talking about the effects that alter the timbre characteristics, I'm talking about the hard dynamics pumping sensation.
And it looks like the bass comes in face and also do some nice clicks in attak.

I think that they are played in:
x-X-x-X-x-X that means (x low and X one octave up)
and use a sidechain prior affecting the lower notes

I'm right?
correct me someone if not..

tks!!

Sidechain a kick on the beats you want the pump to hit.

im curious too

its just a simple sidechain ducking. you can also use gating or transform effects but it will give a different texture than the "pumping" your looking for which is typical of sidechaining with a slow attack on the compression

ah sry. turn off all sustain & releaes paramaters, just use your decay knob..., set resonance high, right before it self oscilates, cut off medium, lfo set to filter shaped by the velocity. that way you get the desired pluck early in the wave form and filter opens up fast on a hard key press.`

Drunk + Cubase. My appologies.



However, try making like, a four bar loop of some midi data... then time stretch (shrink it) into one bar. Then duplicate the one shruken bar into four bars, glue it together. Then repeat.

Try playing back after you do all that shrink, duplicate, shrink stuff. Cubase's timing will go all to because it can't handle the sheer load of midi data being thrown it's way. It's CRAZZZZY. I've never done that before... maybe you all have.

NA NA NA NA NAKED GUY!
