The Reese Bass Thread

[Sure_Fire]

Got the reese at the start with 3 instances of Massive (all doing different jobs in terms of frequency and distortion), which were EQ'd, effected then sampled and effected/EQ'd a tad more. No other resampling/layering/frequency splitting. Not bad for a first attempt at reese bass I thought.

some reese basses i made in massive, and a bit of tape saturation... not resampled but i imagine it could get pretty intense.

Hey all, this is my first go at heavy use of reese stuff in a tune (it's just a snippet of the full thing), looking for any feedback. There's bits in the verse section as well as the drop; the verse I tried to emulate that koan usage.

got a few (three ) people asking questions about this one

used two different massive digital distorted saw wavetables with a really slow LFO on the wt position to get some moviment going. third oscillator is lunacy + phase distortion aka the lunacy reese bass. massive's internal bandreject filter with an envelope assigned to cutoff to get the opening sound thing. growl sound comes from gliding through octaves while the envelope is opening the cutoff. mids were parallel distorted using a high gain guitar amp, LP filter for moviment and rhythm.

got some nice reese in there, do you use any post processing effects in your chain, or is it all just straight massive. what do you mean by parallel distorted? you frequency splitting?

Just messing around in FL Studio on my brothers computer since mine is being fixed atm.
All synths are from 3xOsc, including the reese. Pretty easy to make, will explain how if there is any interest for it.

[jimbeaux]

another reese bass kick i went on... really low, key of A. its muddy right atm, but its all just massive, saw waves. only two oscillators set to formant saw. intensity all the way down. and slight modulation on wave table. detune by about -15 to -25. band pass filter, lfo to cutoff. using tape saturation distortion. i suppose its just a matter of cloning a shit ton of variations of stabs an different warps. resampling should do wonders i've tried a few things but haven't worked on a current project with reese in mind.

bounce the long note with the opening filter motion, frequency split, send the mids to an aux channel with the guitar distortion, balance everything. I think that there's a really low d/w slow phaser and a bit of additive eqing on the mid-highs to put emphasis on the growling pitchbend sound thing. You can put some chorus on it as well or use a stereo widener on the highs.

i had forgot that you could distort while freq splitting, for only the mid bands..... i had been saturating the entire bass group alone... reason i was probably having trouble adjusting the low end to fit with my sub an kick... since the low end will fatten up upon slight compression an distortion... good times, good times.

I always saturate stuff without splitting bands when I load them into kontakt, you can always use a multiband dynamics thing later if you feel lazy!

I used a couple different reeses in my newest Wip. Not really anything neurofunkish but still have a decent amount of movement.

really feel taht one i personaly would like to hear a jokeresc sound more those not too much moving but still hard hitting square reece thingy basses he makes caue the vibe is quite purplesc

Got some reese style action post-drop in my newest WIP:

P.S. I love kontakt, just discovered the options it has...

[nanocloud]

Yo, So I made this with 3xOSC in FL studio. No lie

Thoughts?

Came across this track whilst putting together a DJ set. Now this is a great Reese!

Nearly a year old this thread, I love the reece bass its proper old skool, and one of the original badboys. Many different ways to make, ive recently used 2 seperate synths layered to get very good results, Albino and Massive, all about the de-tuning.

Bit of shameless self promo but my latest track has some chopped reeses:

Would be happy to give out details if people like bits.

I like that patch. Can I has details?
