lol.
Don’t worry about people stealing an idea. If it’s original, you will have to ram it down their throats.

i don't think he's quite grasped the idea of punctuation yet.
or the use of paragraphs.
or sentences for that matter.

Well, I'm not the one asking questions that have been answered by everybody on the forum. You are the only one on this forum that can't do a bassline. If producing is really your 'future career', then read the Production Bible. Its right at the top of your screen. By the way, is there a certain program on the computer that you use, to 'make da txt u rite on da screen in2 txt langwij'? I want to impersonate you. I believe you have some studying to do.

What software do you use. Reason? Then use SUBTRACTOR. You load your mixer first, and then you go on to the Create drop-down menu, and click 'SubTractor Analog Synthesizer'. Then you make a sound that sounds like every other fucking niche producer on the planet. I made a guide so you can understand:

First one is simple. Second one is simple but I have added some more. If you need any more information for your stupid brain to understand, then PM me. I've noticed you need a lot of help, not only in music, but in linguistics, and life.

Thanks.

if you have reason 4 use thor, it is far far superior to the subtractor, anyone who tells you otherwise is telling lies!

You must not have heard very much 4x4 Bassline House........there are definitely a variety of basslines in 4x4.

Don't sample it....use a bass tone from the 3xOsc's and play with the filters on the cut and res and vol...don't try to immulate other peoples music...make your own sound. Thats how you really push it. You'll also wanna make sure you make a channel for the bass end...the mid tone bass...and the higher tones...putting different fx and sitortion can make the sounds very nice......just play with it.....and basically its just like dubstep but you may wanna set the filters at a faster rater and several different rates for different notes.....I hope this helps......and those of you puttin down 4x4...get a clue...it's moving in that direction....Garage EVOLVES ...thats what DUbstep is and that is what 4x4 bassline house is....the evolution of UK Garage.

its all about mapping the lowpass filter of the synth to an envelope, so that when you trigger the note, the filter opens up, allowing the higher frequencies of the synth to pass through, making that 'bwoap' sound.

set the filter cutoff to a low point, so that when you play the synth it has the 'sub bass only' sound you;re looking for at the initial stage of the bwoap.

assign the filter cutoff to an envelope. how to do this will depend on the synth you;re using... (which synth ARE you using?) you should be able to figure it out. it'll be in the routing section if there is one. if there are more simple envelopes with just attack and decay, rather than ones with hold, sustain and release as well, i would recommend using those more simple ones.

when you hit the note, you'll want the filter to open up to a certain extent over a certain amount of time... these amounts are obviously artistic decisions but the time of the attack is what will dictate how long it will take for the filter to open up and obviously dependent on the tempo of the tune. the amount it opens up will depend on the intensity you set when you map filter > envelope. usually reading something like 0 (no intensity) to +1 (max intensity, positive polarity) or -1 (max intensity, neg polarity) all that means is that if its on +1, the filter will OPEN with the attack phase of the envelope and then CLOSE with the decay... whereas -1 will CLOSE with the attack phase and OPEN with the decay.

thing is though is that when the attack phase is over, the decay phase kicks in and your filter will start to close again as long as the note is still being played, so you want to make sure that either the attack phase is long enough so that the note length isn't long enough to reach the end of the attack phase, OR that the decay phase is very long (or set sustain to maximum) so that the filter doesn't start to close again. you'll also want to make sure that the volume envelope for the synth has a very fast release time, which means that when you stop playing the note, the volume drops off rapidly instead of dribbling away.

makes sense? welcome to the world of synth programming
