Hi fellow dOObsteppers,

I use FL8 for bout a month, (b4 that i was a noob) and i have just kinda got used to parametrics EQs and compression......but it just sounds kak. My basses sound like a pig on fire and i dont like it.

Im hoping, with a little help from the dubstep nation, sum1 can giv me some advice on creatin a dutty filth bass for my tracks......

I need all the help i can get Fanx.

less LFO to Cut off filter?

if you wanna make grinding sounds - just use a good distortion plugin or run it through a amp/cab

filter out what doesn't need to be there (hint: 300hz), and read the mixing & mastering thread.

I just meant - it don't have to wobble for it to sound good - theres not really a tutorial needed haha, if you're on FL - run your bass through "Slayer FX" using a dry on the amp and brit on the cab - it sounds pretty sick

As legendary siad have it set to "dry" i.e no effect on the amp and just a fraction of "wet" on the cab.

The idea here is to have a very subtle amount off distortion just to add warmth and weight to the bass.

Experiment a bit.

Haha yeah it will all be worth it. Dont forget the production bible sticky too dude. It has a whole section on bass and a section dedicated to FL studio.

Also there are about 2,000,000 tutorial videos on youtube.

Happy hunting
