Makin Dubstep? How and what do u use 2 make that bass?

alancov · Post by **alancov** » Mon Dec 11, 2006 6:31 pm

Recently I hav started writing dubstep............

I use Fruity Loops 4 + soundforge and this enables me to write the drums pretty much to the sound that I want.
However, I'm having difficulty making a decent warbled bass sound..........

Anyone use fruity loops and achieve decent bass sound?
If so what Vsts dou you have attached and how do you make it?

I have pro 52 as a VST, has anyone used this to get decent sounds?

What other Vsts and programmes do other folk reccommend?
I have access to Cubase SX with a1, legacy cell, and Vstation syths - anygood??

Cheers

I don't mean to be short, but if you looked a whole 30cm down the production page you can see a thread asking what you have asked, and the search button also will answer this question which seems to be unearthed every week by the latest member.

As for Vst's

, i use Albino, Z3ta and Absynth to make basslines, i recommend them.

Loefah doesn't use FL, Skream does though, although i doubt he uses it for bass. But the 3 osc plug in is quite a nice synth, its not the instrument its the user, its more likely that you will get better results by knowing one free plug-in soft synth inside out than briefly aquainting yourself with a load of dogs bollocks ones.

I think it's great learning how to do that bass.

So you can avoid doing it.

yeah prefer 3osc than that t404 thingy

purecain · Post by **purecain** » Wed Dec 13, 2006 10:13 pm

absynth 3an4 are pretty grimy once you get around the learning curve.
you can have some fun with the filters just make sure youve added a master filter under the 3 oscillaters then in the envelope section just add new and choose master filter frequency... then resonance when you reach this point for extra depth. i have to say tho its an art. even tho i can make bass and give it some merkyness it still takes a long time to make something new and original. fun watchin everythin in the room shake includin my hair lol...
i would also suggest using propper speakers that can handle the low frequencies cos when i listen back on me head phones i cant really hear the deepest bass at all. hope this helps......

i see... yeah i never really used fruity so that explains why i wouldn't know about it i guess. as far as what i use, im really digging the free synth from FXpansion called Orca. Its really simple but great for subs. Really though, i bought reaktor about 2 years ago so i try to use it whenever possible, and ive gotten some damn great sounds out of some of the synths in it.

Has some nice sounds, no? And that Flappin´preset is already kinda obese.

concentrate on getting a sub. bottom end is more important.

B4 u could use vst's with fruity the bass was made with the ts404.
id never tried the 3x osc until a few months bak while doing a collab. very impressive.

upgrade ur fruity 2 studio version and get hold of v station and albino.
