Guy's.... Your way too aggressive.
Has every bass related topic been covered here? Every possible technique?
He didn't say '' I want to make it wobble'' - he asked for bass production tips.
If you cant chat about bass on a dubstep forum then something's up
Can you post some samples of your work/bass so I can hear the results of you applying what has been said time and time again... DZA?
Knowing what an LFO does from watching the massive tutorial on youtube and reading here does not give you some kind of technical superiority and the right to speak to people who are new as retards.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I want to know some of you guy's process bass.
Do you split the frequencies and apply different processing to diff frequency area's?
I hear alot of LFO action on the higher frequencies on the b-line and solid low end in alot of dubstep.
What is the quickest way of doing this... 2 diff bass sounds and lines or a bass line with a wide frequency range and hi cut, bounce, low cut and mix.
If so, where do you tend to split them / low cut for the sub?
Where do you high pass your kick's? Side-chain compression isn't going on much down low in dubstep and the kick is clearly sitting above the bass, where do you generally cut it?
Don't get your ''arms house''

if this has been covered.
Post a link.
I don't search.

ok then seeing as you been a member for 11 day lets assume you havent really been coming here for that long, but everyweek you get someone new asking "arrrrr how to i get to sound like skream,caspa n bar 9" or "how i make a wobble" because there to fucking lazy and jump the gun to think ill just look at the top off the page where it clear states" THE BIG WOBBLE THREAD" and even in fucking capital letters and The Dubstep Production Forum Bible which if they just took 5 minutes out of there busy lives they would find out alot off usefull information, its not hard to search the forum,google or youtube
o and you calling me out to do what make a bass is that?

Thats a really good thing to do. I honestly dont know why more people dont do this.
If you have a printer (or you can print at work;)) you can make entire workbooks from stuff you read online.
I have to attend a fair number of boring meetings at work (all in Japanese too, so it is easy for to zone out, haha). I usually print off a load of stuff from production forums / wikipedia and while away the hours soaking up the info. When I am done, I pass the paper to my mates and they get something out of it too.
Today I learned all about Dracula, Halloween and The Holy Roman Empire all while getting paid to sit in a meeting. Mint.
Haha

I am new to this making music shizzle so I had to print off quite a lot from the Bible and Wiki. Filters, compression, EQ, synthesis etc

True that....
I can honestly say I've never read no guide, no tutorial, watched no videos or nothing like that. I'm the type of person that just gets stuck in.
It's crazy though. Some people step on it and a year later are laying down bangers. No doubt all this information out there helps.

Yeh man. Just solo the bass on a track your proud of.
I want to hear it solo'd so I can hear how you process the sound (feel free to run it through your mastering chain to pump it up)
Safe

EXS24: Filter cutoff as destination and use LFO1 as the source. Fair.

That work's... but as he want's a ''dark'' sound the auto filter might be better.
It has nice distortion which will beef it up and I think it sounds much better than the exs24 filter.

lol this thread is rehashed and funny.
@ dubstepz: if all people want to do is talk about bass, then i would recommend actually reading. you don't search? well guess what, that is precisely what your problem is. nobody is going to jsut hand you some magical bass making technique so you can fulfill your fantasy trying to become the next skream.
if you and the OP actually used that glorious organ known as the brain, you would have searched and you would have found the thread about Excision's bass techniques, and you would have read and learned a lot. you would have also seen that a lot of people like the DOA Grid forum, which is a fantastic resource.
reasearch first, post if necessary. it makes the internet way more useful. this is a fact, not an opinion.
