I made 5 bass patches I made from scratch in Massive in about a half hour, here's a demo of them:

Soundcloud

The first 5 are dry, then the same 5 with some distortion and saturation. And I know that they don't have any sub, but all my patches are LP'd at 100Hz-150Hz so I have room for a sine wave sub.

Any feedback? Anything I could do with them to make them better? If there are any external effects you'd suggest I use, I use Ableton, so all those effects are available to me

EDIT: Forgot to actually add the soundcloud embed

0.55 that patch is nice, very solid sounding and would have a really nice wobble to play around with

1.09 very nice as well. IMHO I'd use 1.09 as a start to a drop. I'd lower it a an octive or two it'd be a nice growl do a half a bar of that at the very most and then I'd use the patch at 0.55 for wobbles after it. if that helps ya in any way haha

~1.28 or so things start getting messy sounding with the start of that almost Reese sounding patch

Sounds like some of them might be clipping?

Feeling the last one (2:04) for sure. Now make a rude snare to match it and you're on your way.

It sounds like all these basses are clipping lol

Make them sound nicer.

Third ones probably my fave of the lot,

the first one after processing is sounding aggressive but a tad harsh so maybe go a lil easier in the high end
