for short, sharp, really punchy bass synths, make a really powerful bassy
synth sound, turn down the sustain and release all the way, have a really
sharp attack, and then just adjust the decay.

you can make your bass synth sounds really nice, percussive, and "riff"-y
this way.

as far as making some good samples that just have a lot of bass, you could
always just EQ them and (yeah it's bad for headroom) crank the low
frequencies a bit.

I dunno if that'll help but it's an idea :)

OK, so my next question is�

How do you go about getting bass sounds that are short and sharp, but that
are so powerful as to take you off your feet�

As an example, I�m thinking of moments in films (can�t actually think of a
specific film at the mo� actually, maybe lord of the rings�) where there�s a
scene change and the audio goes from quiet to really bassy really quickly�.
Kind of like a big bit of metal being dropped and vibrating through the
ground..!!


If you�re still with me at this point then I�ll go on to say that I�ve come
close to this but it still doesn�t match up to the effects in the movies..
There�s a sample or two in distorted reality that kind of do what I�m
talking about but they�re too clean�

Does anyone get me here? Or am I talking shite? I guess it could just be a
case of having a fat analogue processor of some kind?!? (all my equipment is
software)..


Cheers,

Nick
