The Official Growl Bass Thread

OK, so this has been bugging me for ages. Can anyone figure out how to create the type of growl that comes in at 1:09? I think it's massive (or at least massive-based) since that's what Feed Me generally uses for his basses. Can anyone help?

Hmm, the reason Feed Me's basses sound unique are because he doesn't use Massive for them...

HE DOES

He was making awesome basslines with massive on mau5hax.
In old analog synthesiers you have only 3/4 waveforms, and you can create tons of unique sounding sounds. Massive has TONS of wavetables, where you can control wavetable position to get diferent sounds from one wavetable. How is that not unique?

That's the same place I got my info from...when he's making that bass in the video he says he hardly uses massive/doesn't use it much/isn't the greatest with it. I copied his patch and it's ok, but needs a ton of processing I think.

I can't be fucked going through the vid myself, I may be wrong. But hey.

I watched it on this site...

Almost there, what do you guys think? All made by massive and very little resampling.

[Today]

are there brostep cover bands now.... what is this

Couldnt stop picturing a lotr demon while hearing that haha

Hi

I mainly make hip hop instrumentals but as i do admire dubstep production techniques i also make dubstep occasionally.

Check my signature for some of my grow like bass - it meant be a hip hop instrumental so it's very repetitive.

Tools: Ableton Live, Massive+WOW - mainly.

That sounds pretty good man. Not mindblowing growls technically but they work well within the context of the song and the phrasing or whatever is really nice. Good beat overall, it has a nice groovy flow to it. Big hip hop fan, did you ever put any vocals to any of your beats? If so, I'd like to hear it.

How did you get it to have that metallic sound (for lack of a better description)? Comb filter or distortion in massive?

It's a mixture of scream, band reject and dimension expander that gives you this metalic like touch to it. I don't use comb. I used 2 Wow filters with different settings.

Thanks!!! I have produced a lot of instrumentals for very known underground polish hip hop crew, but most of them were more emotional/orchestral/piano beats. Making dub step is fairly new thing for me (or dubstep basses in hip hop), although i've listen to it for like 3 years now - ever since i heard Excision and Datsik

Maxxan is Jungle Fever (Original Mix) your track? This is.................. just crazy - professional stuff!!!

How did you get the main growl bass? The one that comes in first drop and carry on for the most of the tune? (00:46 - 00:48) Sounds awwwwsssooomeee!!!!

Your Mix and master is making me feel a bit like i've produced music for 3 months....

can you reupload?

oh hey guys speaking of feed me

i think this sounds like him

Been making a lot of growls lately. Here's my take on the SMANS drop.

Soundcloud

It's massive -> Wow -> Vocoder -> Filter -> Izotope

[Sinergy]

Soundcloud

Anything I could do this growl to make it "better", generally happy with it just not sure what else I could do. I got two of the growl panned hard and delayed, and a sub underneath, EQ modulation, some distortion, slight bitcrushing.

Anything else?

[Eskimo]

@nanocloud:
That's pretty rad, care to explain how you made it?

@Sinergy:
It's nice, but the growl itself lacks some low end, try layering it?

[Burgeamon]

RE:Feed Me.

He does use massive. In that mau5hax thing he was saying he doesn't really split frequencies and hadn't played with that much.

[nanocloud]

@Eskimo haha, i can't do a step by step since this is an actual track, but essentially I made the bass in massive (I'll post the patch when I get home), wrote in the subline, made the bass follow it, and then automated the crap out of the macro I made (messed with a few minor things but mostly the filter cutoff). Loaded it with two channels full of effects (camel crusher, ohmicide, parametric eq 2, W1 limiter, some other stuff I think), layered some granulized foley stuff for atmosphere, then resampled the bass. I took the resample, distorted a little more, hi-passed and did stereo stuff to it. That was mostly it! On it's own the bass is pretty cool, but when I continued the track and added all the stuff needed, it sounds way better

I'll post better stuff later.

[Eskimo]

Sweet, and that's cool... a magician never reveals all his secrets >_>
But I know what you mean, after effects - big difference
