For instance, create a saw-based sound that plays a melody in one octave, then layer it with a sine-based sound that plays the exact same melody (you can copy the melody from the first track into a new one), but at an octave lower.

supergroover Posted June 3, 2007 Share Posted June 3, 2007 or make your basses in cubase with the vb-1 and sample them in reason Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think Reason has a lack of low end to the basslines you can get out of it, it just produces lackluster sounds. Frosty, I'm afraid you probably won't get any sounds that will overly impress you out of Reason. I don't really know what kind of sound you want, but since you want a full on bass sound, I'd say pay attention to the attack. Not the Attack parameter of the envelopes, but the attack of the sound. On both the volume envelope and the filter modulation envelope. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drew05 Posted June 16, 2007 Share Posted June 16, 2007 i don't think Reason has "bad" bass i think alot of people are spoiled by VSTs that literally overwhelm you with artificial fatness the Subtractor is an amazing instrument and is capable of wide-ranging synthesis i think people need to spend the time getting to know their virtual instruments, rather than rapidly going through their VST folder dialing up all the bass pre-sets Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So if you like it I can make a little tutorial for you (: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On both the volume envelope and the filter modulation envelope. You can make a good sound with reason, just because Reason has its own integrated instruments and effects doesn't limit it to the sounds you can make with it. Especially the mixer page where you can connect inputs & outputs with wires just like you would with hardware, so you can make pretty wild sounds with it if you experiment alot.

phobium Posted June 17, 2007 Share Posted June 17, 2007 Back when I worked in Reason I usually used samples for bass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ProSect Posted June 18, 2007 Share Posted June 18, 2007 You can make good sound, bass in this case, even with free instrument. I used SubTractor or Malstrom in many Sound Field tracks. Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spacer Posted July 6, 2007 Share Posted July 6, 2007 Hi there, man If you are not satisfied, try some another possibility, .. vst plugin, try and find,.. it's what I would like to say to you, it's not against Reason, I don't use this soft, so I can't something more to say.. Love Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Love Reason is a closed production software which means it doesn't support 3rd party plugins like vst, dxi, rtas and the likes, so he can't use them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I especially like the samples that Reason has allready built in, altho I've never liked it's sequencers so I rather do this in my host sequencer and then just set up a midi channel for the reason samplers and synths Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm still highly weighted towards Reason, but hope to explore Cubase's full potential in the future. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daraya Posted August 22, 2007 Share Posted August 22, 2007 Also... You can rewire Rebirth338 into Reason a try to make TB 303 bass. It always kicks ass!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Otto Matta Posted August 22, 2007 Share Posted August 22, 2007 I'm really looking forward to seeing what the Thor synth can do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
