Kill The Noise uses Ableton. I've watched him multiple times using Massive and Ableton, during the mau5hax event someone asked how he made the Talk To Me basses, he said he used Massive and then proceeded to use Massive within Ableton to make some sounds for the track he helped with during mau5hax, as did Feed Me. I also watched him making a track with deadmau5 during a livestream recently (which contains a lot of signature growly whomps...) guess what he used Massive. Skrillex uses FM8 primarily as well as Massive and Operator.
Also that KTN video you posted is nearly 4 years old... he's moved on.
Many people (including my own efforts) have made decent growly basses in Massive.
PillowFight wrote:that video was posted in 2009. Pretty sure as of lately, on his last 2 albums especially, most of his bass is generated from massive. If you are as experienced as you say you are, you should be able to hear massives distinct sound in most of his basslines.
I may have been unclear about what im saying. And i apologize. But in my defense, i know he uses ableton. I was simply stating that he does use reason to produce some of his bass. And im sure all of you know that reason can be rewired very easily.
The video may be old, but (and i am attempting to find it) i did see a video of him creating a modern bass in reason, with a bunch of thors and much automation. He does use reason, but arguably, so do i, and im sure many producers rewire it to their "main" DAW, becuase it is absolutely wonderful.
The fact that i say massive can't reach these capabilites, i won't stray from.
I never said that they DO NOT use massive, and of course i can hear when it is being used, in some distinct cases, but they do not use massive as a standalone, imo, because it doesn't provide enough. Does that make sense? I may be wrong by both of you.
But i can't sit here, and know what i know, and believe that I can pull up a Massive vst (i have worked in it for 2 years now) and get an easily modulated bassline with the full extent of these popular sounds.
You can take a good massive sound (I once downloaded a knife party patch) and i played it out, and i turned it into audio, and vocoded it, and applied heaps of external distortion, and yeah, it sounded great, but it was not the synth ALONE.
I also saw that live stream with Deadmau5 and KTN. :3 Deadmau5 was so dicky in it xD
Yeah i know for a fact skrilly uses massive as well. I saw a video about it.
I have no doubt every producer uses massive, guys.
Its just the way its used that im trying to present. It can do wonderous things, but it can do many more if it is taken to the next level of live processing, resampling, and lots of distorting. Frequency splitting as well.
