here some samples to work into the bass

That is amazing but scary at the same time lol

[Hircine]

that was a fucking walrus whistling, what the fuck.

edit: "wanking walrus" in the related videos.

Next pet: Walrus

Anybody can get past a dog. But NOBODY fucks with a walrus.

[narrator]

here's a growl I'd love to know a bit more about. High Rankin seems to mostly use NI Massive for nearly all of his sounds without much processing.

[shinra]

listen to :35 in this tune,

a little bit like skrilly's yeah?



EDIT: LOL this is the tune i meant to post

that kind of bass has eluded me for too long! i first heard it rinsed in zomboy & skism - parasite, but i haven't gotten very good with it yet. i'm sure zomboy isn't a fan of massive, and something tells me it's fm8. i've been running fm8 through some formant vowels and i'm starting to hear it but it kills most of the harmonics.

Watch that, he's very keen on layering

Also, he sells patch sample packs, I'd suggest perhaps looking at those and maybe deconstructing the patches.

sorry if this link has been posted already. didnt want to read thru all 13 pages. but this ones spot on imo

Far from spot on.

Say I have a big growl sound, lots of modulation, resampled several times. How do you guys go about writing in a sub under it without it just being one sustained note to match up with the modulations that the growl is doing?

Put the sub through the same modulation/fx chain?

lol no, that would destroy the sub bass wave
All you need to do is retain any pitch bends or other pitch automation, if there's "woibble" filter/amp modulation,. retain that as well and create a new patch

Apply the same pitch mods, and if you want, apply the same "wobble" mods to the sub's amplitude.
as long as the pitch bends are there, it'll work. Make sure if you use a pitch-wheel, that the pitch-bend RANGE is equal for the sub patch and the previous growl bass patch work

Tbf that's what I meant by apply the same modulation... didn't really mean apply all the same fx

Don't usually use FM Synthesis but I'm definitely gonna start after reading this thread. Just worked on this for about an hour. Forgive me, I'm a bit of a noob.

Sweet, thanks guys I get it now. Just throw it through the same chain minus, same pitchbends and minus the fx.

Nice How did you make it?

[Living_Tragedy]

D as a 10th formant with a 0.5 ratio fed into E (triangle) and F (sine). E --> F modulated from 0 to 100. D --> F modulated from 20 to 40. A lowpass and a highpass on the same macro. EQ with a slight gain modulating the frequency on a seperate macro. Camelcrusher (love it). Resample. EQ boost around 400 and 10k. Camelcrusher again. Compressor.

yeah, i guess when i hear "chain" to me it means a chain of effects plugins, outboard or otherwise, processing units. and u definitely don't want the same signal processing on the sub
I don't understand Ableton so you Live folks are beyond me

I would just make sure to use all the same MIDI data, including pitch bends, and if there's an envelope that affects pitch, to apply the same envelope to the sub's pitch. So long as they're in tune with one another

[jrisreal]

This really sounds disturbing...cover your ears, ladies and gentlemen

Here's the sound:
