Hey! I've been listening to D-Jahsta for a while, I listened one of his songs "System VIP" and DAMN!
I don't know how to call the sound, so I call it the "TRANSFORMER BASS" lol, I just love it!!!
Can someone tell me how the hell did D-Jahsta made it?

Soundcloud

SOUND: 1:22

Thanks in advance!

This question has been answered several times now... Try search.

Except for the fact no one can tell how to successfully make anything close to what D-Jahsta makes.

I personally wonder how much of his sound can be blamed on his Kaossilator.

The question has been asked but no one knows.... Ive herd on guy on soundcloud get pretty close and k100

Both of them use operator and I know operator like the back of my hand and I cant get anything like that out of it. Ill try this weekend and make something and see how close I can get. I sort of have an idea.

Oh alright, didn't know you knew him like that. Do you think you can get me in contact with him? I'd like to talk to him on some mixing stuff in ableton. I was looking at his videos the other day and he has the same sort of workflow as me.

I basically wrote that thread haha Processing its all the same, delays,reverb,flang,phaser,chorus, etc but the thing im trying to figure out is that movement. Like the one in that zippyshare. That hoohahah sound. I already saw your video on your D-jahsta but I dont know how to translate the same timing over to operator? Did you make that file ^ or did k100 sent the link to you?

Also love the videos, im trying to post some videos but more neuro and resampling stuff. Also a lot of drums aswell. I'll record a video tomorrow on layering and getting all the phase alined using warp markers. Same sort of trick can be used for different sounds.Then if i dont go over time, ill go over another trick for giving hats and perc a more human feel.

I have successfully mastered it lol i will post when i get home!

I will be posting a new one soon. this is not up to date.

Nice ^ What did you do in massive?

This is what I got out of operator

Listening to it again, I realize that this really isn't anything like the D-Jahsta bass; I thought it did at first though. I randomly made it in FM8 one day and I quite like it. Hopefully one day I'll understand what I did lolololol. All I remember was lots of WOW, Ohmicide and a LFO from Guitar Rigs ring mod. There was also some screwing about with pitch envelopes I think in FM8. The last two bits are automating the LFO speed and the last one is after a bath in Harmor.

well it was actually nnokt who made the patch but basically he used the phaser and delay on effectrix and just massive.

Wicked i have some patches i cant wait to try this out on. I had a feeling they it want just ableton stock plug-ins. Thanks for the tips!

np also big tip i know for a fact d-jahsta uses abletons simple delay and trust me it makes the sound really robotic.
enable link and change sync to time and set it to like 20ms and make feedback around 50% and you will get a really robotic sound

I've messed with all the delay/phase/tonal settings in Effectrix, everything that comes stock with my DAW and can't get anything close. You guys make sound so easy.

How should one apply these settings you speak of?

How important is the base sound, and what should that sound be?

Off topic but I got the bass 90% now, secrete is basically one plugins and one fx to make it vocally. But speaking of k100, look who comment

So does anyone actually and specifically know how D-Jahsta gets his main sound so...vowely?

I honestly can't think of many artists who have it down like him. It's pretty crisp shit.
