- So this is a very simple but effective way to get a reese / twisted bassline going, from here you can take it anywhere add distortion, phasers and more filters. Try your own stuff out see what happens. If you want me to post the patch I will.
You can grab the filter from the tutorial here www.betabugsaud...
its very hard for the average person to learn this stuff without having friends who produce or taking classes in production, but even then the trade secrets are hard to come by for specific current genres of music. big up for making these tutorials.
Much appreciation Distance, grateful. You don't have to do these, but you still continue to, despite your busy life and success. Many rims to you.
That reese rocks! wicked sound. thank you a lot mate
@TheDjDistance, It's taken me a while to realize this, but screwing around with synths, distortion, modulation, fx etc is the best way for me to create original sounds. For years I tried to replicate synths, and styles, I'll admit I wanted to achieve 'Victim Support''s midbass at one point, and now I see that I don't have to be like a certain producer, I should just make sounds in my own style. You've made me see this clearly, and inspired me to keep going, and carve my name into the ground.
There's is no tutorial out there like yours, you are the man. Learnt so much!!!!
Great tutorials. I dont do dubstep but this is very helpful. People get too confusing when explaining Massive. You do a great job and your tunes are killa!
- Try sidechaining an effect's wet knob on a channel with the channels dry output, for e.g. a flanger, distortion, bitcrusher etc, so as the output gets louder, the effect is more wet. This is perfect for getting some extra movement on your midbasses.
- In Massive (or any similar VST), link up cutoffs, distortion, phase, fm etc to LFOs, and have the LFOs moving at different speeds, this'll create gradual shaping and transforming of the sound.
In Massive, make sure you link things like attacks on envelopes, decay, release etc to the Macro knobs, that way, you only have to move a macro knob to have the whole sound change and shapeshift. Link the macro knobs to automation filters, so on certain notes, the synth can change on each, or change the attack, to get an 'attacking' sudden note on some, and on others have a longer attack to have a 'creeping', District-esque synth.
- If you haven't already picked this up from Distance's sub bass tutorial, around 50hz is frequency in sub bass that REALLY rattles your chest, so boost it a few db (I always boost it around +4db on my master).
excellent tutorials man, and you've easily earned a fan as well. seems like a good reason to more of these ;)
- Like Distance has shown in his Sub Bass tutorial, using a square wave can work wonders as a sub, as you can lowpass it so its more like a sine wave, but do it so there is some of the midrange harmonics poking through, this way you'll hear what you think is the sub on a dodgy speaker/radio/cheap headphones, without turning up the sub so it becomes hugely audible. At the end of the day though, a pure sine is the most physically powerful wave.
I can't seem to be able to watch the whole vid at once, everytime i watch 2 minutes im like: 'fack, need to try that' and im experimenting for an hour, until i get bored and watch the next 2 minutes.
Great vid!
Very useful, and crayon filter is actually really nice for being free!!! Thanks (Can't wait for a drums tutorial!) Love chestplate!!!
After watching this tutorial, I realised in Ableton you can't switch on the fancy wave creator, when it comes to the filter automation. So what you can do for another option, is put HP LP filter on one of the inserts at the bottom of massive, and put lfo's on them for a cool filter wobble effect and save you time on drawing in the automation. Hope this helps people without Cubase, Yagga
Here's some tips and suggestions I've created for some of ya:
- For distortion, chuck something like CamelCrusher, or better, Quadrafuzz (mean sounding) before your eq, to really get that extra crunch.
- If you send your Mid Bass and Sub Bass channels to another channel to combine them etc, chuck some slight compression on there to glue it together, I find just subtly using the compressor in Camel Crusher does the trick.
- Keep all channels low in volume at first, bring them up bit by bit until they sound balanced, if you're wanting to have a track mastered, keep everything below -6db at least so there's plenty of headroom to work with.
You should do a tut on dark synths like in Pinch's - Swish
Much love for all these tuts.
...While you're at it, chuck an eq on there, and dip out around 100ish hrtz or where ever your kick is punching, same with 200ish hrtz for your snare, and/or sidechain your mid+sub channel to the kick and snare so the mid+sub channel ducks slightly to make a bit extra room (keep in mind that this makes the attack of your notes a little less prominent, but if done subtly, it can work.
awesome i was just about to comment to ask about making another tut before i check my inbox and lo and behold. nice
- To widen your midbass (don't do this to your sub), chuck a delay in the rack, but make sure its before your eq, or else you might have an unwanted, subby delay. High cut the delay at 100ish hrtz upwards to taste, so it doesn't screw with the sub. Now, put the time knobs for left and right to the smallest setting possible (should be 0ms or similar), next move the Fine R knob up a little so it's only a few ms more. Turn the wet knob down a bit, as too much makes this tinny, unless you like that.
Very informative yet to the point. Much respect. Cheers.
that bit at the end was nice!
Your stuff is so great man! Thanks!
ahhh alwayz gotta tease us mang, the tune at the end is awesome! cheers for tut aswell.
I don't even produce but still found myself watching all the way through
- Keep your sub less than - 8db as a maximum, but to be safe and clear up plenty of room go for -10db or less. The more room the sub takes up, the less you have for your midbass and everything else.
- I personally have my midbass at around -5db to -8db, sometimes even -10db, so there's some db left for pads, fx, percussion, main drums etc. As always, do what SOUNDS right. Trust your ears.
Thanks for the tutorial, mate ! This has the some similarities to 'Blame' (by Tunnidge & Distance). Cheers.
Thanks for the tut man. Do you think you can do one on distortion and bass processing some time?
learned that filter shit from this video, so much fun! big ups!
nice stuff like always, MAKE MORE MAN! PLENTY MORE!
@bootstrap193 its called "Deserted" you can hear a clip of it on the Chestplate TH-cam Channel. Its not yet released.
wicked, PWM sounds sick.
but what about sub, would you bring it out from that bass?, or add a separate sine sub underneath?
big ups distance!!!!!!!!!!! been very useful
Hey man great tutorial. I noticed at 8:04, in your plugin list you have IL Vocodex. Have you found it to be really temperamental in cubase? It constantly crashes in mine.
Good to hear brotha! Simple sure is best for the low end, aye.
Whats up man, i meant to say the sequencer and the mixer. how do you have the sequencer on top and the mixer on the bottom of your screen?and does it always stay locked like that. I guess you have a 21 inch monitor or something like that right.
how does he have his equalizer and arranger split like that?
Hey Distance, I don't suppose we could get a tutorial on mixing drums? Your drums hit like no other.
what are the basic hardware you need to start serious producing with a nice quality ?
I mean...any soundcards or just a good pc ?
whats that tune at the end?
Thanks! I was trying everything to make that growl. :D you are the shit
I have problems with all IL plugins in cubase.
Definitely, but have a large internal HD as well. Good luck.
actually Distance i just noticed you dont have them locked they are just floating.. disregard my question. Love the label man keep it up!!
please do more tutorials!
Nice one sir
Please make a tutorial for mastering!
This is a good tutorial.
fully agree. distance is the man
Percussion tutorial please!
whats the tune at the end!?
THANKS!
so good!
yes i might do the same mate
LOL what is it with you and rims Cornbreadddd?
What do you mean?
i swear one thing with massive, you do exactly what the person is doing but you end up with a completely different sound
thank you for making tutorial
thankyou distance!!
thank you maaan
check out this Reese tutorial! Reese Tutorial (Noisia, Koan Sound, Neosignal, Joe Ford, Spor)
Nah. Not heard anything from Native Instruments that they'll be doing Reason Rack Extensions. I'd think the main reason behind that is that Propellerhead Software takes a 30% cut and existing Massive users probably won't be able to cross-grade their existing license into Reason. Though it probably a lot of this is still up in the air.
haha cheers.
Thumb up my tips btw to help out anyone lookin' to learn some extra producing tips. Cheers.
- Midbasses are nice when they're wider, and panned slightly to either side, but NEVER do this to your Sub Bass. Always make your Sub Bass's channel mono. Stereo Sub Bass is not only bad for the people cutting the vinyl of your track, but it is disorientating, and sounds awful, and might lead to stereo phasing etc. Bottom line, ALWAYS make your Sub Bass mono.
NI is fucking sick, wish it worked with Reason. Fuck sake.
tiiidy
that, is fucking makO
I don't see it, and I love blame. lol
lol
