Nice chain, but you could do with using a compressor in there somewhereChris mack wrote:Compressor ------>Compressor ------>Compressor ------>Compressor ------>Compressor ------>Compressor ------>Compressor ------>Compressor ------>Distortion ------->Compressor ------>Compressor ----->Compressor ------>Compressor ------>Compressor

Yeah, multiband compressor instead would dojonahmann wrote:I would drop the distortion.Perfecture wrote:Nice chain, but you could do with using a compressor in there somewhereChris mack wrote:Compressor ------>Compressor ------>Compressor ------>Compressor ------>Compressor ------>Compressor ------>Compressor ------>Compressor ------>Distortion ------->Compressor ------>Compressor ----->Compressor ------>Compressor ------>Compressor
Im skeptical about this considering there is so much compression and limiting...in the limiting alone wouldnt that chain become distorted with over limiting or are you very light on the threshold?narcissus wrote:my usual effect chain for basses is
synth -> distortion -> compression -> brickwall limiter -> distortion -> distortion -> reverb -> distortion -> delay -> distortion -> tube saturation -> brickwall limiter -> gate -> EQ -> distortion -> multiband compressor -> multiband compressor -> multiband compressor
gets that nice growling diarrhea wobble bass. make sure to set compressors to 1:1 ratio. this step is very important.
Why's that? It makes sense to me to compress each band to taste, then the overall sound, then each band again. If I was just trying to do traditional loudening compression it wouldn't make sense, but when im really digging to bring out certain harmonics it helps. And of course there's a couple eqs in the there as well.Fauster wrote:Attila wrote:For a really gritty saw I usually do
Synth-->Multiband comp-->Comp-->Multiband comp-->Saturation--->Multiband comp-->Comp--->Multiband comp-->Filter Delay--->Utility
And a lot of tinkering/subtle automation. The filter delay and utility only goes on if I want to widen the sound. I've kept this as a Live effect rack...throw 3 or 4 instances on and automate til my tits turn blue.
Whoa whoa whoa hold up. There is absolutely no reason to go comp -> comp -> comp. Especially two separate times in one chain. That's just silly.
Compression after EQ? Any reason?Climax wrote:I dont think those are serious responses....
anyway, usually
EQ - to cut what isnt needed
Distortion 1
Maybe Chorus or Phaser depending on the sound
Distortion 2
EQ Again to tidy up
Compression
No specific reason you could probably swap them and not see much of a difference as long as there is another EQ at the end of the chain somewhere, and compressior is usually lastDy-nasty wrote:Compression after EQ? Any reason?Climax wrote:I dont think those are serious responses....

nah m8, cuz when you reverb into distortion, then delay that into another distortion, it clears the whole thing up and adds loads of punch and clarity. but the real key is the tube saturation, just gets the amazing warm gritty feel to my skrillex growl screech wobbleDy-nasty wrote:Im skeptical about this considering there is so much compression and limiting...in the limiting alone wouldnt that chain become distorted with over limiting or are you very light on the threshold?narcissus wrote:my usual effect chain for basses is

Wait, they name something 'mau5hax' and then expect people to watch it?JTMMusicuk wrote:I dont really want to subscribe myself to this thread but if anyone saw the mau5hax session, you would know that three compressors in a row can be very usefull
the thing is that can be done even easier with just 1 distortion plugin.JTMMusicuk wrote:It was deadmau5 with a few other big producers sitting making a tune on webcam, i think it was kill the noise (i might be wrong) who showed how 3 compressors off th trot can make a synth with mad LFOs on it make a really nice growl
