Here it is. I did it entirely in FM8. Whatcha think?

Not to toot my own horn or anything but I think its about as close as anyone can get without being Skrillex and having his original patch.
If anyone has any questions or comment feel free to ask. Peace

Not trying to bring you down or anything because i cant produce worth a shit and thats probably better than anything i could do personally but this is more or less the sound you're aiming for

haha that doesnt bring me down one bit. No offence or anything but thats not exactly the sound I was going for. My goal was to recreate the growl from Scatta at 00:41. And like I mentioned, I did this entirely in FM8. Not Massive. I can make it growl a LOT harder if I were to use any kind of formants but I didnt. I plan on using this bass in some tracks of mine and when I do that then I'll more or less mangle it to shit, growling the whole time lol

Any chance of a shot of your Ops and Effects windows in FM8

I've been debating between myself and I about doing this. My only argument against it is that it really takes away from the experience side of things. I am a firm believer that experience is the best teacher you can have so on that note I do not think that I will post something like that on this thread seeing as how it would give away the secret and would be an injustice to everyone who see's it because its all about figuring it out yourself. HOWEVER. If you would like to know more about how this sound was created, PM me on here and I'll be more than happy to give some VERY helpful hints. Again, this sound is mostly sine waves and that is one of the biggest tips I can give right off the bat.

I'll chuck you a PM later thanks, my main problem is either that my sounds are too muddy or they're not thick enough.

what is all the hype? really...

you can make those sounds with ANY synth... take a mic, record some burps, excessive flatulence, or any other terrible organic noise, bounce that shit down, and BAM.... even THAT would be more original... sheesh

try using the envalopes to make make the filter amount change while its "wobbling" and use the peformer so u get a variation.

i duno about any synth.. but most like massive etc and any synths in reason are 100% capable. also yeh the burps with distortion & layering will work

not that similar. heard better/more similar sounds created by a few friends of mine. no offense your recreation is ok. good attempt though keep at it and eventually you are bound to come up with something close.

I would love to see a screenshot or video of you making this. I'm having trouble getting it just right as well - my sound is too thin

I just made a real good Scatta patch with only 3xOSC. It's tight.
