The Official Growl Bass Thread

[enjarcher]

I second that - I modulate/automate everything manually, that way you can get the things you have going on with your synth (i.e. Filter sweeps or wavetable positions) to link well with stuff you have going on externally (i.e. flangers or vowel filters), I find that way when stuff interplays you get a better sound and are not limited to using ratios or certain LFO/Performer rates and shapes.

Cheers for the advice! Tried automating a couple of macros instead, and works much better.

Np, like you said mapping macro's is really useful in Massive, especially if you link 2 or more things to the same knob but have them controlled inversely (e.g. turning Macro 2 turns the wavetable pos. clockwise whilst also turning the filter cutoff anticlockwise)

Yeah, about what Maxxan was saying about bandpasses taking away too much frequency content, I've found that using a macro to move the cutoffs in opposite directions is a good way to do it as you get some really nice movement but still keep a lot of frequency content since when the lows are coming through on one filter, the highs are coming through on the other. Also remember I did bypass a little bit to fill in the gaps.

I finished the WIP! Please tell me what you guys think (the growls start at around 1:10)

It's good but growls don't sit well in the mix. maybe tone down whatvever wideing effects you have on it and do some eq work on it. Love that lead in the intro, might have a go at recreating that, sounds nice.

Here's a recent growl I made using the fm8 demo

Made another sort of wet Kill The Noise style growl here:

Just ask if you want details:)

Spill it. I'm interested. It seems like it has the potential to be a filthy sound.

Okay first I turned on one osc and used the A.I. wavetable with the wavetable position pointing towards Wt (11 o' clock)

Pitch at -24.00

Bend -/+ with intensity pointing at the y (1 o' clock) and amp 3/4 of the way full.

Then I used a second osc on the Artic wavetable with the wavetable position pointing at the n (2 o' clock)

Pitch again at -24.00

Bend -/+ with intensity 3/4 to the right (3 o' clock) Amp towards 2 o' clock.

I then put these both through a scream filter with an LFO on the Cutoff and the scream pointing upwards (resonance pointing at the R), added a Sine Shaper with 50% Dry/Wet and 1/4 drive and added the S & H effect with 1/4 Dry/Wet and 3/4 Pitch. After that I added Camelcrusher on the Tube Warmth setting, some gentle saturation and EQ'd to taste.

Just wanted to share something else I created today too, sounds pretty unique and cool:

Started doing this new shit, still a WIP and I think I kinda screwed the mix a little by slapping a comp/limiter on the master just to bring up the level:

@Growly bits 0:28

Trying to stray away from them being so "ooyoi" sounding, weird thing is I'm not actually using O>I vowel transitions.

Also solo'd the growls out, however they've been changed since this (and they're actually slightly earlier versions of the one in the track above):

I made a free skrillexy growl preset on youtube. Enjoy!

That songs pretty mint dude, loving the groove. And I love that snare... Mind if I ask where you got it? Or if you made it where some of the samples might have come from? It sounds like Koan Sound would make something like that...

No resampling, no granular shit, just massive + effects.

heres something i just did.. uh basically looped the drop gonna do something more interesting with this later maybe

I like:D would you be willing to explain more on how you made this?

Sounds like fm8 with a heavy flanger. Yeah?

The WIP in my sig has sort of a Kill The Noise bass going on. Overall though I hate the project lol but I was lurking through this thread and thought you guys might like it

Thanks, just tryin some of the stuff discussed here

[twilitez]

And im giving up on bro stuff as well as soundcloud. No personal offence but i just saw the light. Thanks.

[narrator]

Here's something I done on the lines of a knife party style growl.
