Fatum Basslines
« on: April 19, 2016, 12:48:58 am »
Anyone have any good tips or references to how to make these types of sounds/basslines?  Maybe any sound design videos that are in a similar style.  I was also wondering if you think Fatum may be using sampled bass sounds as well?  My current approach to these types of sounds has been with Serum.  I have been using saw waves mostly.  and then for processing I have been using saturation (camel crusher/decapitator), Ableton's redux, and some other processing, maybe compression.  Also I have tried some of the formant filters modulated with an lfo for some interesting effect.  I understand that these sounds have multiple layers but does anyone have any tips for these sounds? Hope everyone is doing well.
 
Cheers!

They do use a lot of samples (mostly bass stabs), but otherwise it can be a chain of distortion plugins applied to a simple synth sound.  For example, try adding a WOW filter, iZotope Trash2 and FF Saturn in sequence to a simple Sylenth1 patch and see what happens.  You need to be careful with the plugin parameters to find the sweet spot (otherwise it just sounds like a distorted mess).  Layering also helps (i.e. use a separate sub layer underneath).

those guys are extremely experienced, they've been in the business for decades and were nominated for a grammy recently i think

its serious sound design with tonnes of layering

its definitely saw waves and covered in all frequencies, side chained

The group went from 2 people to 4 people recently.  Their new remix played in their group therapy session is amazing in my opinion.  Really love it.

Those belches just get me.  I'd love to know how to make those section of their songs.  The chordy climax is also good in this track.
