Hey, guys! Recently I started making basses with a very weird resynthesis technique, and I thought I would share what ive discovered. Plugins you will need: dblue glitch (doesn't matter which version), and dblue stretch. these can be found in a bundle for free at howtomakeelectronicmusic.com and are super useful.
Pick a sound, any sound.
You can literally start with any sample or synthesized sound. Once you have decided on a sound to use, open it up in a mixer channel in your DAW. I start by applying stereo width with fruity stereo shaper. From there, I just slap effects on, like waveshaping, mild bitcrushing, eq, vocoder, ringmod,... ANYTHING. The only 2 mandatory plugins at the end of the chain are dblue glitch and dblue stretch (in that order so that the glitched signal is also getting stretched). then extend your playlist length to say, 16 bars or so. Bounce your new weird sound to audio and place the now 16 bar waveform into the playlist and place it in a new mixer track. Now repeat the resynthesis process again... like 10 times. By then end, you will have a sound that nobody has ever heard before, and that nobody can re-create. Then I take these stretched samples and chop them up into little beat long pieces and arrange a pattern out of them.
TA DA..... that's really it guys. If you want to hear something I made with this technique, please check this out.
