hi all, ive started making dubstep bout 3 or so months now, ive kinda mastered the lfo-ing and modulation of the basslines but wat ive got a problem with is getting my basslines sounding "dirty" or "rough" like the ones rusko and caspa makes, ive got albino 3 and massive but not quite sure of which one to use, also which waveforms should i layer ontop of each other to get that distinct rusko squelchy electro'y style bass,all help welcom thanks

look at the brutal electro patch in massive for reference.


or use HAMVST

all about distrortion/overdrive

this is infact a thread where you can straight away direct someone to brutal electro. it's more or less whats being asked for.



my best advice is use alchemy

ok i dont really wana use the brutal electro preset ive checked it out its not really wat i wana use any one heard of darkabeat? that 16 year old dubstep/grime/dnb producer? thats kinda the bass feel im goin for that dark dirty basslines, um thanks for pointing me in the brutal electro preset direction tho,it is nice a bit rinsed out tho

come on lads help it out abit man

ok i will try help it

Basically what you need it muti osc on, one is just not enough, you should start with a sine wave and go from there saw, square or some of the crazy other from VSTs (am not sure which one are the good ones tho am a reason user.) what ever you like basically. once you got that going you need to add effects there lots you can have a go with, filltering, unsion (detune) abit of reverb chorus or flanger and save last till best distortion
then resample !

thanks man ill give it a shot

I'd reach for a hoover if I wanted 'dark' bass. You need a synth capable of pulse width modulation for this. Select a pulse wave, (or if the synth allows, any wave), and modulate the pulse width with an lfo/adsr envelope. Add fx to taste.

Another easy one is to layer two saw waves, one an octave lower than the first. To compliment this, layer a pure sine either the same octave as the lower pitched saw or an octave lower again. You'll need to adjust the volume of the three layers correctly to get a nice full sounding raw bass. To finish this off, either frequency split the bass and apply chorussing to the high frequencies or pass it through a reverb.

The last and final 'dark' bass sound can be achieved by passing a sinewave through a saturation distortion fx. Next throw a lowpass filter on the end with a reverb to finish off.

Good luck!

change the tune by a fraction on one of the octaved basses when you want it to sound thicker or lfo the tune very very subtlety, get a sampler and download some real synth samplees then mess around with them to taste

why not just call this thread "how do i make dubstep?!?!"

Ya don't post very often but when you do I usually lol.

Moar!

Wave/Sine shaper

distortion after your filters, waveshaping too.

Step1) Make a sub
Step2) Play Notes
Step3) Be happy you made a dirty bassline
Step4)*Optional* Add saturation for roughness
