Subject: [dnb-prod] Re: Making Super tight subs...http://www.acidplanet.com/lounge/lounge.asp?G=71&Rnd=140588
Is that the kind of sub you are talking about???
If so I can tell you how to get it.
I start with the Junglist VSTi preset Sub Test.
Then I change the sec Osc to a sine wav. Then in the VSTi I changed the Bass FX and attact. Ok now that is done, I used a lot of FX the get that sound. I used Fruity 7 band EQ preset to dance, then Fruity Compressor set to default. Then I used on the master channel the BUZZ FX adapter (load RYMIX stereo box pro) with the MAXBASS preset, then one more BUZZ FX adapter with Oomic Exsiter, Fruity 7 band EQ, and a Fruity Compressor on the Complete Master preset.
I have found that keeping your basslines in the c3 to c4 range helps a lot...
Peace, Zero

OK, so I can make subs that are almost how I want them but they still sound NOWHERE near as tight as a lot of tracks I pick up on Vinyl..
I'm talking about that specific type of bass where it's really punchy and just sounds like a wall of sound rather than a bassline..
I can make that type of sound but I can't control it enough to actually mix it with the other sounds...
Is it just a question of the right EQing and Compression?
At the moment I generally beef up the bass at around 90hz and then take out the mud around 250... Which gives a nice deep tone to it but it lacks the punch and clarity I'm looking for..
Anyone got any advice for this? Compression tips?
I think my problem may be more to do with attack and release settings than anything else.. Twiddling them seems to change the aspects of the sound that I want to correct but I can never seem to get it quite right..
Do people use distortion on these types of subs?
What waveforms? I tend to use a square mixed with something else but I've got a feeling that maybe I should be using sine waves and then processing them rather than starting with a square? ? Fook knows!!
I know that this is a pretty individual question as different people have different views.. Just thought I'd ask!
cheers,
Nick
p.s. Although I'm not exactly a mastering engineer I do practice home mastering sometimes using Izotope Ozone and it does sometimes sound like it might just be the mastering that gets that extra nice sound on the subs.. But I don't know for sure either way...
