I read this post and figured this would be a good start, but.. I'm stuck on the very first instruction, which is the bolded part in the quote. How do I add a sine wave? I tried heading over to the Reaper forum in hopes of figuring many things out, but, I'm rather confused. Do I add a new track, then add a new MIDI item, then add FX, like a synth or something for a sine wave effect?

Sorry if you get a lot of noobs, but.. I'm just super lost.

you're basically right.

add track
add fx
go to vsti and choose reasynth
add midi item
open items in editor
open items with built in midi-editor.
draw in notes

Okay, I understand so far.

So.. how do I do the sine wave thing?

when you play the notes, the tone that's generated should by default be a sine wave (i think).

when played on a lower end, that's your sub.

So, do I just add an EQ then, and scoop out all frequencies and boost the lower ones?

U mean I can sound JUST like Datscision too!?!

Sweet!

I cant wait to be the next big star!!!


But how do I make teh wobblez?

Lol i read this part and just ignored the rest.

what i always find funny is when people can't spell the artist names of the people they idolize/bash properly, yet they think they'll have the technical ability to recreate those sounds

I was 100% certain this was a troll... I was absolutely baffled when it turned out he was completely serious...

So many troll keywords... Datsik, Excision, Mt. Eden (oh, by the way, anybody heard of this guy? amazing... )

How did this guy avoid getting ripped apart for like a whole page, and even then, everyone went real easy on him...

What do ya gotta do to get ripped apart these days? oh yeah, just gotta post a tutorial on how to link lfo to cutoff...

mark my words..... someone will come and ask eventually

If you fuck about enough with two detuned sine wave oscillators, bitcrushed, with slight reverb in Massive you can get that thin sort of Datsik bass sound. It's pretty easy to get If you mess around. Scream filter and Screamer osc in Massive is your friend. Kick, snare, kick-kick/snare beat and then £....

From what i've read on this forum, nobodys been able to reproduce it yet. Theres lots of advice on how to do it, but i've not seen one person get that specific sound yet.

Im wanting to make the other grimey/dark sounds in tracks like Datsik, Xcision.

Also just any nice sounds like in Unitz-the drop.

Mainly sort of noises in Mt Eden - Silence. If you havent checked him out already you should hes makes real nice music.

But heres a link to silence so you no what sounds im looking for http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nymjfq2kXnI

Any noise really different to a wobble. Im using massive but seriously cant create any descent noises.

Tutorial would be gratefully appreciated?

I would be very happy if someoone could point me in the right direction?

Thanks a lot

Hey mate,
One way to make Datsik style bass:
Use one oscillator, turn the other two off with the blue lights and on the dropdown list of all the waves (where you find Sin-Tri, Sin-Square etc etc), choose the "Scrap Yard" option. Then play around with the "wt-position" and the "intensity" for the respective oscillator... I set mine both on max for this.
Make sure both filters are on and set them to "Daft" and "Acid". Set the fader next to the oscillator you're using to sit in the middle of "F1" and "F2".
Now click on the arrow thing on the "5 LFO" tab and drop it in the boxes on the left under both filters (only drop it in one box for each filter). Also drop it on the "Amp" knob for the oscillator that you are using. A green number "5" should appear under each one. Click once and hold down on the "5" and drag upwards, so that the green and grey lines together make a roughly 180 degree arc (this is what makes your wave wobble so experiment with this). Do this for the amp knob of your oscillator too.
You should be wobbling now. To control the way it wobbles go into the 5 LFO tab and play with the wave shape and rate and try messing around with the crossfader a bit. You can automate it with another LFO or stepper, just as you automated the cutoff filter to produce your wobble. Don't bother trying to automate the rate of your wobbles to get them to change speed, just render out a bunch at different speeds and put them together that way.
Add an eq (just click the little blue light, its next to fx 1 and fx 2 on the right) and play with the settings.
Add a little bit of the dimension expander (on the right in the drop down list of effects).


Message me if you want a screenshot of how everythings set up.
Its not exactly datsik's wobble but its a pretty good starting point and I'm pretty sure he does use Scrap Yard

Thanks for that i'm gonna give it a go, u mind sending me that screen shot man?

Check out a little mix of my tracks see what u think

For all massive users...

Obviously I can't make a patch with his exact sound, because he resamples - (and frankly because he's a fucking genius) , but I think this is pretty close...
