yes it is easy once you've had enough practice making midrange basses. you can carry on rolling your eyes because im not doing a scary monsters remake just for you.

listen to my sig if you wana judge whether you think im capable or not of doing it :W: i don't have time to make a specialised effort for a random when im busy working on SONGS not individual basses to post on soundcloud like n00bs do.

iv actually been producing music for 10 years straight so its funny to see some dumbass that couldn't tell the difference between grime and dubstep to backfire at me :D

tbh the REAL truth is its down to how good the person is at fine-tweaking sounds, its not down to a single method..
i guarantee there's a lot of ways of doing this. even recording a fart, wavecycling it and automating FX can honestly result in perfected skrillex sounds (or whatever you desire!)

if you really want those sounds then think of ways you can tweak cleverly! changing the order of your FX chain can make heaps of difference (especially when a lot of distortion is involved), don't just automate standard parameters.. automate the dry/wet of plugins..

create controls that adjust several parameters, reroute to other busses and send the audio to more than one FX chain opens more doors, using ultra fast LFOs on certain parameters can even give pleasing results.. sometimes even peaking the sound in the red can actually give better results (obviously bounce to wav & lower the volume again). there's tonnes of ways to tweak in new directions!

its down to experience & creative thinking & i don't see how any who's reading this could disagree with what im saying.
honestly spend more in your DAW to get what you want, rather than constantly moaning on several threads about how every1 else fails at copying skrillex.
hmmmm ya now that i think about it i think the real guy is like -_-hooky-_- or somethn like that lol.

im gonna make this damn bass already and post the preset so this thread can be closed

1) The song on your sign has nothing to do with the SMANS growl, so I don't how that could prove anything. It got those high pitched annoying sounds that I was talking about and that are far more easy to achieve than a sound like the growl on SMANS or a Noisia monster reece.

2) Spending time in improving sound design by trying to replicate sounds is not something noobs do, but something someone that loves sound and sound design does to keep learning more. Skrillex came up with his growl when trying to copycat Noisia. He sure learned a lot by doing so and even came up with a new sound.
You wouldn't post a SMANS take because you know it would sound cheap and dull when A/B'ed to the real one thus exposing your limitations as a producer.

3) Judging by the song in your sig apparently you fail at copying Skrillex too.

yeah dudes. reagarding the noobs doing sound design thing.

i'm not a noob but i def spend make too much time obsessing over how to make scary monster noises.. and other noises as well. bu t i believe i've gotten closer than any other mortal on the net except for sonny himself haha.

and actually its paying off because i'm starting to come up with some of my own original songs with sounds that are variations on the scary monsters sound. SO...

SUCK IT!

i never said anything is wrong with trying to replicate something for learning purposes, im saying posting up basses on their own is rather noobish, what good is a stupid bass on its own :?
its all about songs and melodies.
like i said i dont have time to make a copy of the bass just for you, i dont care enough to proof a point i just came on here to share tips that work for me.
you should worry about your own limits instead of talking about mine & lol you do a lot of talking for some1 that doesnt have any audio up what so ever. since you seem to know everything u should make your own sound.

sorry spoot088 that sounds nothing near the SMANS 'growl' to even compare...and to add insult to injury you make such a bold statement as this "i've gotten closer than any other mortal on the net except for sonny himself."

Why don't you guys work on the sound together rather than doing this whole one-up thing?
Swearing at people and calling each other names has got no-one closer.

This entire thread is the problem with this forum.
Allow the thread.
But 27 pages and it's the same conversations and insults from the first page.
Think about it for a sec.

A forum should be about experimentation.
So copy this sound and learn sound design.
But don't continually insult folks who don't come close and don't come in here insulting others because you feel your sound is the closest.

People need to learn to be more humble.
