How do I make a "motorcycle sounding" bassline

Such as the bassline used in:

Hammer & Bennett - Language (Santiago Nino Dub Tech Mix)

OR

Joint Operations Centre - Castlevania
https://soundcloud.com/johnocallagh...levania-out-now24


I know Sidechain is involved.

This any good for you?





You can open the filter for more top end.

yeah I think it sounds good....Good job man. Thanks I'll check making this out later today (I heard it, it sounds good.. and pretty similar.)

Can you remake the other one too? I love those type of basslines (that you end up humming along with)

Good quality post, straight to the point Andy28

Sounds like a pretty typical saw wave subbass to me... :)
This sound has existed for a long time, I first heard it here @ 2:35

It was also a staple of a lot of freestyle & breakbeat tracks in the late 90s...
Just a simple saw with a chorus effect with cutoff filter low. Decided to take that bassline from the first song and improvise a bit with it.

These are my settings...should be about the same for any vst.

These are chorus settings:

Bass in the second track is more or less the same, just messing with the cutoff/detune knobs a bit.

I did have a good go at the second track but couldn't quite nail it.. I tried to mix it in with the track (where the actual bass is filtered down on the intro) but it just didn't sound right. I don't think it was so much the actual sound but more how its processed, I couldn't get it to sit the same in the mix. I also struggled with the filter, it has a lush creamy resonance to it that spreads across the top to the sides a little which I couldn't match, again it's probably how its processed. Maybe someone else could get close?
