What scales are the best for sub bass?

[CYRHEN]

I found C Minor was decent, E minor seemed too high...and I heard F was perfect for sub bass.

[syrup]

Definitely C (compress)

I do compress and saturate I know what I'm doing. Some scales in sub bass are too high and too low regardless the octave. Just a simple question that didn't need a useless response, no wonder I don't come to this forum anymore.

my favorite note is that low e but surely there is no BEST scale otherwise all dubstep would be the same right(although i know loads of it is lol)?

[benjam]

If your using a single sine theres no need to compress, I normally go from E to G pure sine no EQ or compression needed

I like my sub bass like I like my women.

A minor.

terrible loss.


I'd say it should be in the same scale as the rest of your tune?

I like the Phrygian.

Oh, that's a mode

No need to get Enigmatic on us.

Pull up your piano roll, get a sine wave, throw some kind of spectrum analyzer on it and use your ears in combination with your eyes

[fiveone]

C or D

Never used to think bout this til reading that Bassnectar interview someone posted up here: whether or not you like man's sound, you have to admit he has a lot of experience playing on a ton of different systems.

Anyway, yeah - E through G was the normal range for club systems, but bigger systems push the boundary down to C1 or something. Don't recall exactly, but it's good to know... In case anyone ever wants to play my tunes in a club, that is.

I put the whole tune into one scale that wasn't the question lol..basically at the end of all this what's your favorite scale to produce in? For sub bass purposes I always liked producing in C Minor

Appreciate this feed back with your supporting details thanks Alpha, yeah I know PK Systems are hitting that range.

He also mentioned before about using "ghost frequencies" to make it seem like really low notes are audible on other smaller systems - Waves MaxxBass does this kinda thing by adding in controlled upper frequencies of whatever you input, slightly different to the harmonics that saturation/disto can add. Although I didn't think it was that great, sounded kinda muddy.

Personally I like rooting my sub around G through to A# for heavy bass.
