need help with distorted bass sound

Post by sp303 » Fri Feb 07, 2014 10:58 pm

basically im trying to get this really dirty bass sound that hits at 40 secs but i cant get that kind of dirt out of anything.everything just sounds too tame or just bad and nonmusical.is it a certain effect im missing or should i do something with the source waveforms.i tried different bitcrushers and distortions on some trianlge saw wave combos

I may be totally wrong here because i'm listening through crappy headphones but to me that sounds like brass samples (tubas, horns etc) not a bass,
Maybe he tuned down the samples or distorted them but it definitely sounds like that to me and not something he just synthesized

Brass samples yeah, but not much distortion. Maybe slight, then compressed/limited. Pan out wide and I think you have it
