Rufus "you were right" bass sound
« on: June 25, 2016, 01:36:04 am »
I am still learning on how to make even simple sounds but I want to make a bass sound like the one in this song (comes in around 40 seconds). It seems like a saw wave layered but guidance to getting to where it sounds like the bass would be appreciated:

that sounds like just a sine wave if you mean the subbass

Think I'll agree on Script, to me it does sound like a since wave subbass. IF that is what you're pointing out, when I pull it in FL and look at the oscilloscope, looks like this(Lowpassed everything else but that.)  http://prntscr.com/bks8du . Although, it's not stable like if you just hold it and have nothing on it. It does wobble, and not by when the note changes but it looks like it bounces up&down just a very tiny bit. Sounds like something I do since I just don't want a regular sub on the bottom. I'm new too and struggling with basic sounds as well, but that's my take on this xD Hope this helped somehow.

That's good old fashioned FM! Any synth capable of FM can do this - Operator, Sytrus, FM8, Massive (with the Phase mod), Serum, etc.

You start with a sine wave, and you FM it by another sine wave - once you find the main timbre you want, set an envelope on the FM amount/operator volume so it will pluck from the starting point down to zero amplitude. From there, Distort, saturate, and otherwise effect it to taste!

Lmao xD wow my mistake. My fault for not being in forums enough.

But hmmm, when I try to listen and speculate. Sorta had no idea, took Script's word and pulled out some piano presets on Harmor and surprisingly just went into the low notes, low pass experimenting (not too much though, or just adjust to how it sounds really) and it sounded pretty dang close. Not as organic as the one in the song but yea. If you want what I did, I just took the "Piano 2" preset in Harmor, messed with the reverb and low passed.
