Reply To: help with bass
Nick What DAW are you in?
I made some versions of it in Serum (not having a great session, this is a nice distraction).
It’s a pretty stock standard jungle reese, essentially 2 detuned OSC’s, likely saws, that are filtered, and then LFO’s n shit are creating the subtle movement.
If you’re asking for an SG class that will help you out, I’d say anything related to building basses will get you started. Just preview them & see which one sounds closest to what you want.
This is also not a bad quick tut on it:
And I made a few, just for shits, and tried to keep them fairly simple so that you can pull them apart. I’ve not 100% nailed the sound, but it’s in the ballpark, and it’s enough to get you started. They are done in serum, just using saws…the only thing slightly esoteric is that I have the note routed to the wobbly LFO, and if you crank the affect on that LFO you’ll get that classic high-note super wobble, if you so desire. The note curve is also adjusted some to keep things smooth at the bottom. Fuck with it. Break it. It should help a bit.
I even have a midi file of part of the bass phrases. Again, not perfect, but that’d be boring anyways.
If you’re in Ableton I can post some clips, but here are the presets+midi:
