Digital Psyence Posted December 25, 2004 Share Posted December 25, 2004 What modules do you use for basslines? I myself get best results with Atomsphere, but not good enough to satisfy me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Various®Artist© Posted December 25, 2004 Share Posted December 25, 2004 I was also getting hard to be satisfied from my bass-lines until I was surprised for good from the 'Moog Modular V'! realy amazing machine!!! cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Digital Psyence Posted December 26, 2004 Author Share Posted December 26, 2004 Thanks! i tried moog, its great, the other mentioned i already knew, except the Trilogy, i think its one of the best, but i havent tried it yet?!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gruzina Posted December 27, 2004 Share Posted December 27, 2004 for realistic bassline try "Novation Bass Station" i always use this one... you can controll all the parameters (edit automations) simple with high qualety Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Digital Psyence Posted December 27, 2004 Author Share Posted December 27, 2004 I use my KS4 instead of the bass-station (the ks4 is almost the same machine) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AmithabaBuddha Posted December 27, 2004 Share Posted December 27, 2004 do you have any tips for the novation bass station.. for low dub bass i mean.. i never get the right sound 208315[/snapback] youll need a sine wave for it and bassStation dont have it , try to get it with the square wave instead , use low notes and EQ it a bit.

gruzina Posted December 29, 2004 Share Posted December 29, 2004 for cool psy bass in novation bass station load the "release bass" and jost tern off the release and it will be nice sound for psytrance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clone Posted December 29, 2004 Share Posted December 29, 2004 All I have to say is VB-1. most producers of the Full on Style with the deep rolling basslines with that sweet mid crunch, are using the VB-1. You just need to EQ and compress the hell out of it in order to make it sound great. (when you first see and hear it you wouldn't think it could make anything decent... but you'll be very pleasantly surprised if you know your parametric EQing.) bomm.

Digital Psyence Posted December 30, 2004 Author Share Posted December 30, 2004 who made the VB-1 then? 208727[/snapback] i think it is integrated in Cubase Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hels Posted December 30, 2004 Share Posted December 30, 2004 i think it is integrated in Cubase 208728[/snapback] Yep... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emmmgeee Posted December 30, 2004 Share Posted December 30, 2004 rgcaudio - z3ta - good for EVERYTHING Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gruzina Posted December 30, 2004 Share Posted December 30, 2004 VB-1 it's a basic vst that comes with cubase... and yes its really good bass but i dont like to use this one... only in hip hop stuff .... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goatransmutation Posted December 30, 2004 Share Posted December 30, 2004 make a slope with the parametic eq, reverb, cho and run it through track compression, you have to play it by ear to get well rounded tones Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Digital Psyence Posted December 31, 2004 Author Share Posted December 31, 2004 hey i just tried VB-1 & and with a little help from Waves MaxxBass it sounds very good only anoying thing is that picking sound Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Various®Artist© Posted December 31, 2004 Share Posted December 31, 2004 Well U dont have Attack & Release in that plugin so its kind'a problem thogh Try Waves X-Click or similar... never tried but it may help ;] cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Towelie Posted December 31, 2004 Share Posted December 31, 2004 i think it is integrated in Cubase well you can just copy the dll file from cubase folder and paste in your vst folder.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spindrift Posted December 31, 2004 Share Posted December 31, 2004 For pulsar users I can strongly recommend to get the Adern Flexor modules for the modular. I find the envelopes in that to be something really extra, and I never heard anything like them. Otherwise the orbitone Real03, also for pulsar, is very good. VSTi's i have problem getting good bass with, and the VB-1 sounds tight and is used by many, but lacks a bit of depth IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clone Posted December 31, 2004 Share Posted December 31, 2004 hey i just tried VB-1 & and with a little help from Waves MaxxBass it sounds very good only anoying thing is that picking sound 208907[/snapback] I used to hate that picking sound, but I noticed that that mid pick.. which you can almost get rid of or at least round out a little bit using the damper... is what makes your bassline detectable on shitty systems and headphones with little-to-no bass response. Maxxbass will help a lot, but a good 8 or 10 band parametric eq will help a lot more. run a low pass on it to cut out the highs (ie that picking sound) and then run the Q up on your other parameters to about 30-50 and very carefully put rises and dips for a tighter EQ... otherwise your bassline will sound too muddy, or hollow. tight compression is also very key. but keep in mind you'll probably end up having to do the same thing on your kick drum to tune them together. bomm. oh, to any non cubase users that are using vst interfaces. if you wish a copy of vb-1, it's a very small dll file that I can e-mail you very easily. just drop me a line. clone@shadowplay.net Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Digital Psyence Posted January 1, 2005 Author Share Posted January 1, 2005 Right now i just i got home from newyears-evening/night/next morning & my ears are really wasted after beeing at the local psy-club most of the night, but once i get in the cubase-mood again, i will surely check it out (the vb-1 bass using 10 band eq) Anyway, Happy new year to everyone, cheers from Denmark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slyman604 Posted January 2, 2005 Share Posted January 2, 2005 they give the Vb-1 away for free too, even if you dont have cubase: http://service.steinberg.net/webdoc.nsf/show/download_e Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chemical Reaction Posted January 2, 2005 Share Posted January 2, 2005 Vb-1 is very nice you should try it but my advice to you is not to get fixated on your "Bassline" get fixated on your "track"! Good luck and keep the Psy alive in 2005! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DigitalDyk Posted January 6, 2005 Share Posted January 6, 2005 For the longest time my bass sound was the thing that frustrated me more than anything. I just couldn't seem to get the sound I wanted and it was really pissing me off. Then I got the NI Komplete bundle and found the oh so lovely Pro-53. It took me a bit to get things just right, but man it sounds so good now. Now the bass is the best part of my tracks. I highly suggest any NI software and the Pro-53. Great sounding stuff. Also, it would really help to read up on subtractive synthesis. You don't have to be a genius when it comes to it, but to understand the principles of it will make a huge difference in your capabilities to create great sounding bass right from your synth. EQ and compression definitely help, but the sound itself is by far the most important element and understanding why and how to create it will save you a lot of time and a lot of frustration.
