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 :) ~a -----Original Message----- From: Nick Lankester [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, October 06, 2003 10:14 AM To: Drum & Bass Arena Discussion List Subject: [dnb-prod] Supa hard bass sounds: Like an oil tanker just cruised into your back garden! 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)..
