Any tips for recreating this punchy synth bass?
« on: February 08, 2016, 04:28:56 pm »
It can be heard starting at 0:05. I would like to try to recreate it in Massive or FM8, but if I could just get some advice on the main characteristics you think this bass has, I can try to go from there. My guess is no attack, and very very short release, perhaps two oscillators (one sine, one saw), but I can't figure out where to go from there.

Also I'm not so much concerned with creating the exact same bass in the song, i just really want a punchy bass that will sound somewhat similar.

Thank you so much!!

yea, it seems to have a few layers.

I think it's a sine and a saw for sure, could have some guitar plucking(palm mute picking) layers as well, slight distortion.

Look into how to make a pluck synth, those have short attack, decay, release.
