i just got massive a couple weeks ago and have been trying to learn how to get the sounds i want out of it. i know some basic synth programming but i want to learn as much as possible, and massive is a good place to fuck around.

try using oscillators like dirty throat on formant mode, pitched WAAAAAY down.

they start sounding like lfos and all vocally and shit, it's awesome. if you want to make an lfo to match, use the mod oscillator at the same freq and route it to filter or whatever. if they don't quite line up, you can clean up the phases in the 'osc' tab off to the centre right.

seriously, try it.

beastly.

my current fav preset is lectro bass off my micron
tweeking/sampling it atm
maybe some rounds through the akai and roland can make it more mine then some vsti fx

i am going to rock the living fuck RIGHT out of your balls sheena... right out of them!

Well I have been sitting here in deep concentration and a shiny BRAND NEW pair o shiny balls just hatched. So you had better deliver!!!

I am taking pictures for the Village so I will bring my camera after Pendulum to take pics of you my lovely darling...and then I am basically at the Village all of Sunday because of the whole Skream, Bassnectar, Glitch Mob, Rusko line up...their putting me on a crane....

But let's play "can you keep up all weekend." So fun...last year I had about three hours a night...going to try to shave that down to two....can you keep up Dylan, huh? Can you keep up there old guy?

ive never used massive, can someone post a small sound clip of the "brutal electro"

the patches in Massive are the best i've heard!

btw i can't see how this patch's supposed to give you a good bass anyway.

dubstep is just a bate preset rinseout fest anyway. Scroll through albino 2, it's hilarious, almost every sound has been rinsed
And yes i'm guilty of using some too.

But come on, it's not that hard to make some original sounds is it?

shut up preset whore

and no it's not hard to make original sounds

I am trying to make my own sounds for every tune from now on I have deleted my presets

Seriously guys come on. Using the odd pre-set patch for a lead or pad can be OK once in a while so long as you screw with it a bunch first. Strait ripping pre-sets just breeds the same sounds again and again. Let's be honest, we all have ALOT of the same software, with alot of the same patches and it's not that hard to make it from scratch. Just try, and if it doesn't work, try again. No excuses. Just hard work. That's my 2 cents.


Ez

still don't know what it sounds like

i wanna know if this is the sound i think it is though. there's definitely a bass sound i'm really sick of hearing

24 bit multisamples so that even people who don't have massive can rinse them. Thx

Seriously, would be good to hear this patch, cos i can't place the bass sound you mean, but i'm sure i will recognise it.

yeah someone should upload a clip of the patch by itself

most dubsteppers on this site (And all over) basically use the same sound sets anyway.

Everyone has used an 808 or sub/sine waves...preset or not it still the same basically.

Who really cares anyway, if its a solid composition then you can make presets work just fine. With a touch of reverb of course


I never use original preset sounds but i'll alter the preset if the sound is close to what I like. That doesn't happen very often, except for the 808 and 909 drum kits. I usually like those right from the get go.

I'm with Parson, a clip of this "Brutal Electro" so that I can use it in my sound design.

Massives "brutal electro" patch sounds exactly like Coki's "Spongebob" bass.......

Lots of harsh resonant overtones on a slightly subby foundation...

Blatantly been rinsed by every man and his dog...

Ps. Reason users can recreate this using the subtractor in ten seconds flat. (Switch on osc 2 and turn up the FM knob.... Layer subs to taste.)

Amen.

Here it is...

Watch your speakers though. I bounced it pretty loud.

Yeah it's not much a bass as a midrange metallic wobbly mash

Yeah, tbh I'd rather hear an interesting tune that uses a preset than someone who's spent ages coming up with their own sound that sounds no different from loads of other sounds and then used it to make a really derivative tune anyway.

i use ableton live's Sampler to make new sounds. fuck preset VST synths unless you are tweaking the fuck out of them with a distinct end result.
