dubstep

are many people on here producing/had a go at making the dubstep bsslines?

i can get the wobble fairly easy but getting the actual sound to sound good is another thing.

using ableton and sylenth1..wanting to acheive this:

have been getting some good sounds using various bass specific VSTi's, but the main key im finding is layering, my current effort has 3 layers for each individual bass line, all at varying volume levels, with each layer having specific freq ranges, within the freq range that i want to keep the bass i.e, if my lead bass is sitting between 100 - 250, then ill have one 100 - 150, one at 150 - 200 etc all cut using hi/low pass filters . I find this gives a really full wholesome sound. Also my sub bass is completely independently masterd from the other basses, but with the same note patterns.

In saying thqat, im no expert, there a peeps who know a million times more than i.

cheers man will have a read of that

another good trick is to have tweaked versions of the same patch that make up the bass line and create variation with different modulation settings.

Like different lfo settings, having one that tunes and osc up and one that tunes it down, not to mention something that doesn't wobble at all to break it all up.

With a combination of different layers and different modulation settings you should be able to break some new ground in your productions in no time.

Two layers is enough imo. And much easier to mix down than 3.

I have found using a sub bassline that has no wobble that I normally EQ somewhere between 60-100hz (depending at what freq I EQ the kick/s and how the kick/s and bass fit together), then a 'character' bassline that normally has the wobble that sits a bit higher up in the eq (again depending at what freq I EQ the kick/s) works pretty well for me.
