Reverbed Subbass
« on: June 29, 2016, 11:50:11 pm »
I'm into the making process of dark grooves lately, could anybody give me an insight on how to achieve this much clarity on (sub)basslines and kicks?


Not sure about how to use the low end reverb in such groovy way  :(

As a second note, these kinds of reverbed subs tend to have a solid amount of volume on the sides as well, but when collapsed to mono it still sounds good, any ideas to kill that as well?

i don't think that's reverb on the sub bass man.

if any thing, it's two layers at once. the most 'audible' layer has the reverb where the sub doing the same thing as the audible layer.

the reverb is slight. it'd need to be controlled with an EQ.

Look into buss effects.

this is a solid track.

Josh Huval: Honestly, the guys who are making good art are spending their time making it.

You could try creating your subbass with a sinewave and add a bit of distortion. Or a low passed saw wave with a little bit of distortion.

Reverb is a bit the opposite of clarity. If you use it, filter out the lows.
