    The Melda saturator (free plugin) is another neat thing to play with here. It lets you add harmonics by number. If levels are balanced out equally, it's pretty clear that saturator is pretty worthwhile to use. Wave shape stays the same, provided it is attenuated while looking at oscillascope. It creates more harmonics above the 3rd, and amplitude is almost totally not effected when looking at Voxengo SPAN (free plugin). Under SPAN, we can see the 2nd harmonic is low enough to not be able to see it unless you increase the 2nd harmonic directly in Serum to find out where it is. The sound with the Melda saturator is pretty nice sounding. You can still hear it when the volume on the speakers is reduced to not being able to hear it unsaturated.
    Also, playing different notes greatly affects the oscillascope findings. Probably best to create one perfect note, and then use that in a sampler. I'll probably try that out today.
    Very cool video!

    It's a nice technique when using a sub that only has one note. But is there a sensible way to make a patch that has level and phase perfectly matched for each note you can play?

    • @18Hands
      @18Hands ปีที่แล้ว

      The purpose is that youre more so matching that fundamental sub note to the kick's fundamental from my understanding. But there is also a deeper dive for this technique on Mr Bill's channel called Make Insane Subs I think.

    Hello! I followed this tutorial and everything came out sounding great, however I'm having hard time getting the sub bass in tune with my track. When I use the semitone, fine, and CRS parameters in the wavetable section to change the pitch I lose the quality of the bass sound. I slapped on an ableton pitch device but I am only able to change in semitones and I can't fine tune it. Any other suggestions?

  • @Nick-ci6mw
    @Nick-ci6mw 3 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Thanks for the video! Curious... do you usually use root/whole notes when you add sub bass or do you have it follow the bass guitar note for note?
    I'm producing some indie pop music and am trying to beef up my chorus'. Thanks!

    • @KermodeMusic
      @KermodeMusic  3 หลายเดือนก่อน

      I think it will sound most cohesive if it is following the same note as your bass guitar. If you're going to have a clean sub underneath it's also pretty vital you cut that sub range out of your guitar, and then if possible process them together a bit to make them cohesive. Perhaps some compression and light distortion/saturation to glue them together.
      If you want to get super nitty gritty you would phase align the bass with the sub to make it as clean as possible.
      If your bass guitar recording has sub in it though, you're probably best using the sub in it for the most natural sound. Some multi-band compression could help balance the sub in the guitar and then you can turn up the whole band after the compression. Or the right EQ can go a long way as well.

    • @KermodeMusic
      @KermodeMusic  3 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Also, I should say the technique in this video may not be your best bet if you're layering it with your bass guitar. The added harmonic in the sub will sit around the nice bass guitar harmonics. You're probably best just having a pure sine wave without any harmonics, layered with the guitar with the sub EQd out, and then processing them back together with a bit of distortion/saturation. If you choose to add a seperate sub instead of boosting the bass in the actual guitar recording, which is your most natural option

  • @whogotdubs
    @whogotdubs 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    I’m not sure that I agree with this concept. I’m open to being proven wrong, but given that the waveform is ‘flat’ at either peak, isn’t it effectively exerting no (or much lesser energy) at any given point? I think the idea that the perceived loudness of this waveshape is greater than that of a sinewave is subjective and debatable. I watched the Mr Bill lecture and I get that this concept works on a macro scale (ie. compression on a snare to bring up the tail) but on a micro scale (a single waveform) I’m not sure it really makes sense.
