Hey guys, just wanted to share a vowel-type bass I made recently, check it out!

Damn! That was super vocally if thats a word? Howd you get it sound so life like?

All the vocal movement comes from EQ modulation - basically two large peaks in the EQ: at 110 and 600 hz you get an "OO" sound, at 1000 and 1360 hz you get an "AH" sound, and at 110 and 2350 hz you get an "EE" sound.

This works for any bass that's rich in harmonics and takes up most of the frequency spectrum, and sounds better if you use pitch bend as well and put a sub underneath it.

Of course you have to use EQ to cut out a lot of midrange after you do your EQ modulation, otherwise your sound will peak all over the place and sound terrible

So... stereo... cool though.

The machine gun bass at the drop.

That's à wicked bass!
I'm on iPad so I can't press the youtube button or see the title - which tune is it?

Or use a multiband compressor

Seriously there has to be an equalizer vst where you define few "states" of the equalizer, i.e. peak at 500hz and 2000hz, and second one: peak at 700hz and notch at 1300hz. And then you have a slider or knob that when moved, interpolates between those states which can give you easy automation of vowel eqs and shit lol

That would be nice. Your best bet now is probably to set up a few identical channels, each with an EQ set to different states, then crossfade between them.

No, that won't work. In that case you are interpolating between two signals, and in my case, I would be interpolating between frequencies of different peaks and notches in the frequency spectrum.

It's like interpolating a sine wave with a saw wave and expecting it to work like a lowpass filter.

Pretty sure WOW filter covers any sort of vowel sounds you want to do.

Personally I don't use WOW, instead I use Live's macro function to interpolate EQ settings (and all other kind of shit) in my growls. Too bad not every DAW has this function.

Is there anywhere else I might be able to find this video? It is just appearing as a large black square for me.

That shit is TIGHT. I'd love to know how you're getting various vowel movements, as that's the hardest thing for me (I can only seem to get yahs or wahs - want some whaos and eeuugghhss....) I do like the fact that you're not using WoW filter. While there is nothing wrong with it, whenever I have used it, I just get that distinctive WoW Filter sound when you set it to band-reject.....

Here are two growls I did a couple of nights ago. The first is more of a... Skrillex-like (can I say that without being flamed?) kind, like a crunchy overdrive like growl; the second is more a of a Must Die! type of growl, really wet.

The first one uses external EQ8 modulation, while the second one uses massive's internal filters.

[mromgwtf]

Is the video yours?

Yeah

What did you use for the source sound?

Vowel movements come from EQ8.

Don't remember specifics but I know I used massive for this one. Probably used complex waveforms like carbon with some bend.
