anyone knows how to make those basses?

what dou you mean by kick drum preset?

a kick drum patch/preset from your analog/va synth, if you don't want to program from the scratch, starting with a kick drum works great

look at this video, at 2:28 he loads a kick drum and start messing with it at random, in some momments it gets that kind of sound

oh thanks, how i load kick in massive?

He means load a kick into a sampler and transpose the pitch to suite.

Not really, you can design kick drum in a VA synth, most already have presets for that. As someone suggested before there are "laser" tutorials for massive on youtube with a different approach. Take a look at it too.

I looked at youtube tutorials, nothing of them sounds like it.

It's not reversed. It is just a detuned saw lead side-chained so it gives it that 'reversed' sound. Focus on recreating the detuned saw synth, and then drop a 1/2 beat side-chain.

Thanks I got it with a sidechain and with some changes on the attack yet I cant get that saw synth to work. I am really shit in recreating sounds tbh.

The bass. Could someone point me in the right direction

distortion.

Hey, i was wondering if anyone could help me make those cool sort-of-chiptune-like lead synths in tracks like this
or this
or this

Basically it's a sound used in loads of Bristol dubstep and Skweee producers rinse it loads too.
I've used Chip32 vst but i can't get the sounds right.
If i do, they usually sound too chiptune, not really sure what i should do to make it sound like the lead in the Kahn tune i linked.
Any Ideas?

they arent really chiptune sounds, they are just square waves, detuned and mess with the attack and shit. Im not sure chip32 s any good for that, it only has one oscilator? you need two or more so you can detune them.

ah, i knew they weren't strictly 8 or 16 bit (or w/e) which is why i said "sort-of...like" but thank's for pointing me in the right direction, i'll have a little mess about.
Cheers

Edit: Manage to create the sounds using FL's 3OSC, pretty simple tbh. Cool sounds though.

Can somebody tell me how to do this sound:
(The sound from 0:28 to 0:34)

I hope somebdoy can help me with this!

Hey guys, just wondering how I'd be able to make this progressing sound that starts at 0:43 and ends at 0:56 into the song, it compliments the bassline so well.

the bass "stab" ???

Sounds like a vocal chop with a delay set in synch with the bassline pattern and lathered in reverb.

There's some triplet sound thing that hit on each 2nd beat of the first bar of the drop (every other, so 1st bar 3rd bar 5th bar etc).
Could someone tell what the distortion behind it is?

Sorry, I misunderstood.
Programming kicks in a VA synth is easy and effective for many techniques.
Good point.

You not heard any of the old Hotflush back catalogue then?
