Hey dude, this is an epic thread, cheers!

Just wondering about waveforms in massive. When making basses do you have a combination of oscillator waveforms you like to use as a starting point? Are there any waveforms you particular like eg. due to their character when passed through a certain filter? Do you tend to use many of the digi waves ("dirty needle" etc).

thanks in advance laddie!

i just wanna mention something i do with massive that gets endless cool effects. you might already do this, but try attatching LFO's to ANYTHING and EVERYTHING in Massive. try attatching an LFO to the vibrato rate AND depth if you're feelin likin it. set the vibrato rate at relatively slow and have the LFO opening to where it's going really fast (on the vibrato rate knob, the grey part of the LFO should be ending in the fast area and the green in the slow area). then set the LFO rate to slow and you get a kind of double wobble or gradual speed up wobble, cuz the vibrato goes faster as the LFO opens more. (i dont know if open is the way to describe an LFO but thats how i describe it)

do the same thing to the depth, then go further by attatching a seperate LFO to the panning. attatch the first LFO to the amp of the seperate LFO, and make it to where the volume of the seperate LFO doesn't go up until the first LFO is open all the way. (the same thing as the vibrato rate only the amp is turned all the way to the left and you see no green line, only the grey from the LFO)

so try attatching LFO's to anything and get really creative, i've gotten some really crazy sounds doing this, you can take any simple noise and make it into a wild morphing moving monster haha.

for cool buildups, set the "noise" (in the bottom left corner) to metallic and attatch an LFO to the color and amp, automate the LFO rate, you got a cool sound. the same things can be done with envolopes as well, but its different. try setting an envolope to the OSC pitch, and tune it down or up. adjust the envolope attack decay sustain release, blah blah, until it sounds good. it should give crazy pitch drops / rises. detuning the pitch by just like .10 can make a difference too, surprisingly when used with phase.

well i hoped i helped someone!

Biggups Reso. Your one of my fave producers no doubt. learned a lot from this thread. Since most of what I wanted to know has been answered I was wondering if you have any more tunes coming that have the genre switch in em like My Revolution and Technetium? The way you switch it up is awesome

Hi Reso,

Just read the whole thread thanks a million for all the info !!

I'm having trouble getting stuck into producing, i have been wanting to really get into it but find i only have 60 min concentration time at once.
I've been telling myself for like 2 years now to dedicate myself to it.
I eventually get frustrated and go play some modern warfare 2

Do you have any advice to get stuck into producing ?

It sounds like you don't really enjoy it.

I would take writing music over MW (or any game) any day. When I come home from work I'm full with ideas and I can't wait to rock.

Didn't really get much more response on future Q&A's .... any other new producers lurking the forums?

Yeah its cool, just will many people reply and post questions and will A-K agree to questions

I don't mind doing a q+a for anyone that's interested.....dunno who would be though haha!

This thread has been a great read! I never come on here anymore as I'm bored of the jump up vs deep debates that crop up ever 5 min. In a scene that has so much variety and original forward thinking producers and dj's there's room for all styles!
Reso's production is top notch and he makes amazing music! Always look forward to hearing his tunes when I get sent them, and I've not once been disappointed! Hopefully we'll get that colab under way after I'm back from honeymoon, Alex

love when you pop up man, that intro to god knows what mix it is i always rock with the vid game sounds and you guys seeming to just be messing around so reminds me of me
think we have our next q&a gents

[akira kiteshi]

haha! Yeah love tinkering with that stuff. The 1st track on that Special Branch mix is me making bass sounds with a stylophone patched in to a Korg MS10 and tweaked in real time with Reaktor

[logic pro]

THANKS RESO.
BIG .

+1 for akira kiteshi, yay!

Oh and the Otacon drop is from the same move as (probably a different sample though):

Nice one for doing these questions and answers mate. you've probably gone through the same thing where you have the song in your head but you just can't make it because you don't know the ins and outs of the technical side. This might sound like a ridiculous question, but assuming you record your sub bass on a different channel, and your main bass is wobbling at say...1/8...what do you usually do with your sub bass? do you make it wobble as well at the same rate or just leave it constant. cheers
