How to make your midrange smooth/creamy

Surely you fellas have heard some of this fella's tunes?

What I'm wondering is how to make basslines sound so rugged yet polished, the texture, it's 'filthy' but with style, and ettiquete, and emphasizing musicality, rather than making a wall of difficult to mix down noise -_-

Apologies in the event of re-post, but I've never seen anyone ask for this..

i know spor is a crazy person for basses. He also makes neuro so maybe he adds some techniques from their but i have no clue how. The dudes amazing though

crazy tune, I love the bass, Feed Me pretty much never disappoints. it seems like it's a broken-record kind of thing on this forum, but I think the key to a sound like that is resampling. probably worked out the initial bassy groove with a little bit of midrange bite, bounced it out, brought it back in and added distortion, eq, filters, reverb, etc. I find that bouncing out an element and bringing it in as an audio track then tweaking it can really take your sound to the next level. I've been resampling like crazy on my recent tunes

this kind of bass is everywhere in glitch hop, and as far as I can tell it's just the right combination of distortion. Also, I found that if you REALLY compress it hard, aka - give it a really strong ratio so that it's nearly brickwalling, you can get similar kinds of "creamy" artifacts that pop in. Love it.

Thanks for the artist link btw, top stuff

sounds like only the super high crispy sounds were distorted. maybe start with trying that??

@makemerich, look at his neurofunk stuff as "Spor" he's a don!

I do the limiting brickwalling thing for making sub slightly midranged. but I think it requires more, surely?

Also on resampling, why bother if your computer can manage?

That sure is a sick bassline.

Good sound sources and a nice compressor with some audio transformers in would be a great start.

So long as it hasn't been answered before (aka, you searched

), you won't get shut down. Ask away.
