Help sort out my crappy SubBass

Post by spenuk » Sun Nov 29, 2009 10:00 pm

Just wanted to see if anybody can help sort out this problem
I've made a Sub bass synth using 3 instances of Thor put through a combinator so that I could change the resonance slightly on each one.... anyway it sounds pretty good until the sound stops because at the end of the synth I'm getting a click or a pop which is fairly gash.

Any ideas on how to get rid of it so that I'm left with a nice clean sub?

Thanks
Spen

this may be a stupid answer but maybe turn your release up slightly on the amp env, not that much though, just enough so that the sound doesnt stop so abruptly..

As well as adding a slight bit of release (do so until you can no longer hear the poppy-click), take all the highs and mids out of the channel that your sub's on using the EQ. This sorts it out for me completely :e:

harmonics, pure sine waves and use a spectral for what speakers aren't playing

this and also the attack as one or more overlapping notes will click also.

surely subs just a sine wave so just one freq, so no point EQing it anyway?

so wrong
harmonics and dif octaves with proper eq then compression work magic
