How do you use a gliding saw synth with along with a bass?
View this Thread in Original format
OOPS!
Do you sidechain the saw synth because it doesn't sound right if it plays at the same time as the bass. Anyone run into this? I must be doing something wrong.

OOPS!

No..

you adjust your sub bass with the same glide parameters as your mid bass?

and I hear no gliding in your video
OOPS!
Surely that is not all bass...



If I could just get this technique down it would help me out a lot.
OOPS!

Stop posting that ty eurodance here.

There's a free plug-in called magical8bit that's used for chiptunes, but it has a 25% pulse waveform that I love using for basses similar to these

http://tindeck.com/listen/eskw -- old example and not stylistically similar, but you get the idea

to get closer to the euro stuff you posted I think you'd have to layer another saw bass an octave higher just to give it some character, but any low sidechained pulse bass will give you a similar result. technically these basslines are easy as hell to make, it's just hard figure out how to make them sit well in a mix as loud as your examples.
OOPS!
Would someone be nice enough to shoot me an FLP of this technique? Using say Nexus?

I must be doing something wrong. Everytime I try the two octave bass thing it makes the pitchbass sound like .

do me a favor and reread what you just posted, because to me, it sounded like you were asking us to do the work for you, using a format that you could easily use/reference

I think it'd be better for everyone if you went ahead and posted your attempts instead, so we can figure out what you're doing wrong.

never heard this Dj Splash tunes and i used to listen to him a lot... are they new?

I don't think he sidechains the saw, sidechain of a 1/16 note at 145bpm is almost unoticeable what i'd do to get both things working:

-Massive compression
-Use higher octaves for the saw.
-Limiter/Filter for the bass a.k.a make more room for the core part of the saw sound.

For the bass i'd simply get the hardcore expansion of nexus if you don't want to struggle yourself very much there are tons of this basses.
