Hey guys I was wondering if anyone has some insight on how to make this Ray Volpe bass. Here's the link to the song, the sound I'm looking to make is at 2:45. I feel like it's a saw / square wave with some detune, chorus, flanger, and distortion but everything i've tried myself isn't really getting me all that close. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Me personally I think of what elements musically do I like from the artists I listen to. When working on something I just keep those elements in mind. It could be the overall vibe of a track such as making something aggressive or melodic, or a specific sound that I want to put my twist on. I'd say copying isn't acceptable, but all of us have influences that we'd like to put our own spin on and work into our own work and I feel there's nothing wrong with that.
