Some tips on how to make basses like this:

20 seconds in

my sound:
Soundcloud


basically, just take any sound you want, throw it in a sampler, and add a steep downwards pitch envelope. (sounds alot better with heavy distortion/compression) these sounds dont even have to be in key, the trick is all in the pitch envelope and the quick stutters. heres a picture of my arrangement:

or just a simple square wave lfo

Sawtooth wave LFO actually. Tracks that have these basses useally end being my favorite.

i'd love to know more about the synthesis behind that initial machine gun sound.

Is there any way you could show a screenshot of how to put on the envelope?

yeah, saw with lots of saturation (or layer of white noise) and compression.

dotted notes, exactly like the photo above. or square wave lfo on the amp.

easssy money.
