Sub Focus Bassline
Sub Focus Bassline Posted on: 13.08.2012 by Evelin Merworth Sorry if this has already been posted but I haven't been able to find anything on it.Anyways, I was wondering if anyone knows how to go about making or at least start making the Sub Focus type bass. An example of what I'm talking about is in his Ghosts N Stuff remix, around 1:07. Its less obvious but still there in Rock It, around 1:50 I've been trying to get the sound using Massive and Sylenth1, but so far I haven't even been close. If anyone has any idea on this please let me know! Thanks! | |

| Evelin Merworth 14.08.2012 | Jeez, I guess I'll have to give it a go... Thanks so much for your input! |
| Kasi Marget 14.08.2012 | Massive, 1) Osc 1 sine wave for sub 2) Osc 2, Cicada/Lunacy (in the FX/Chords column on the right), low amp 3) Modulation tab, put phase modulation on the 2nd osc (a bit) 4) Record 5) Split frequencies 6) Modulate with tons of FX/distortion (tiny steps each time). 7) Repeat steps 4,5 and 6 8) Repeat steps 4,5,6 and 7 9) Listen to the final result If it sucks, start again. What you get from synths is important, because not having a nice sound at start for resampling is like putting lipstick on a pig.. And this hole thing (I don't master it unfortunately) is pretty much hit or miss. You will miss alot, but if it was easy it wouldn't be as rewarding. Good luck ahaha PS : about this whole thing, a guy on youtube helps me alot with his videos. http://www.youtube.com/user/AscianUK/videos He has a british accent, but the fact that he's believeing out loud and explains everything makes you want to forgive him ahahaha |

Its definitely a sub with a layered synth over top.

| Tera Baragan 13.08.2012 | Its definitely a sub with a layered synth over top. But those sounds are what separates an am from a pro. Your best bet would be to try and make a similar sound in massive yourself.. by ear. |
| Evelin Merworth 13.08.2012 | Yeah I saw those, unfortunately those sounds aren't quite what I'm after. Thanks though! |
| Jonathan Chiuchiolo 13.08.2012 | he has a couple of vids on youtube showing how he makes the x-ray and timewarp basslines in massive, but never seen anything else.. |
