Yup, Do that on a Novation bass patch (the bass-station VST is out now for about �90 - looks good) and prepare to batten down the hatches - you want v quick attacks and not much sustain and release, decay to taste... Ha, I was totally blown away too by that scene in the LOTR when the sword hits the ground and theres a massive bass note (one of the only reasons for going to a popcorn cinema). Layer those basslines too and render to single wavs (or resample thru the desk if using hardware) and stick them back in a sampler, layer again or have the 2 layers using diff filters and have a fiddle - you can get some surprising results.

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)..
