What helps create decent sub bass?

cool ta, just checking.

yeah ive learnt not to take everything at face value, have a good frequency analyser handy, being able to see what's coming out of your synths is very helpful, then you can make room for your kicks and make your bass sound fat as hell

what synth are you using for your sub? i'd love to get my pitch bend on the attacks sounding a bit more 808y with z3ta but haven't got the balls to use 808 samples because you can't tune the fucking things!

try that, or have you?

its been said before try lengthening the attack on z3ta and use the attack from a 808, although i think z3ta is a bit over the top for subs,

i use blue for my subs just to generate the sine wave, any modulation is then done in audio and note changes by pitch shifting

well you can tune 808 kicks, i've done this with Steinberg Wavelab where there's an option for 'pitch correction'. You simply click on 'Get Current Pitch' and then correct it to for example a low C, or whatever note you want.

OOI, what sort of filter / settings do you use? Or does it vary from track to track?

check where my sub peaks in my track and set it just above there

Score, thanks. Will be trying that...
