How Do I Get That Main Growling Bassline Used In This Track [Hip-Hop Production]

Hi i'm trying to figure out how to recreate this bass type sound in Eric Dingus's song. I feel like it will sound better in my mixes than just a standard 808. If anyone could help me produce this with Serum, Massive or Sylenth1, that would be ultimately helpful :cheers:
 
Hi, try using chorus or unisono (and slightly detune the oscs) on a simple saw bass with a lowpass filter. You can even try using this kind of effects with a 808 bass - experimenting is the key :).

What do you mean chorus on an 808? Wouldn't it be some type of slight reverb to get that atmospheric sound? What Frequency do I set the LPF at? If you can post a Sylenth/Massive patch that would be appreciated cause my detuned saws with chorus sound off
 
No, not reverb. The Cld has got it; it sounds like a patch that is emulating a 5-string fretless and/or out-of-phase-pick-ups electric bass.
It could also be an acoustic sample tuned down a bit.

You want longer, legato notes, and you want to mess with chorus, phase-shift, or flanger as effects, and/or the multiple oscillators detuned approach to get close to this sound. The trick is not going overboard. If you detune oscillators, just try a few cents at a time, and leave one at 0, the other one or two slightly sharp or flat.

In Massive it'd look something like this:

Saw OSC (one or more) -> LPF (set it low, something like 300 Hz - the higher you set it the more 'presence' you'll get in your bass) -> Chorus (High amount, slow rate) OR Unison (like GJ has wrote earlier) OR Chorus + Unison (again, you have to experiment)

If you'll use a sample of an electric bass or like I said even an 808 you should be able to achieve similar effects.
It's not that hard really, it'll be better for you if you try to do it by yourself :victory:

Cheers!
 
agree with gj - sounds like phased pickups on a real bass: I can hear root, octave and 12th in the sound mix making this bass sound (maybe also the double octave) - use a flanger to replicate the comb filtering you can hear (slow rate and shallow depth, little feedback/resonance and a moderate amount of the manual setting) I'm talking in terms of the Boss BF-2 controls but any reasonable digital emulation will do
 
Turns out it was actually a Massive preset from a third-party bank with unisono

I guess the simpler you are the better of your sound will be

Now if anyone can help me find out what sound occurs at 0:24, what sound is it? Sounds like a low-passed, reverbed synth, if not then it's a Vengeance Electro sample VES or VEC2/VFX sample with slight reverb and H-delay

Hmm. I'd be interested in hearing/seeing that pre-set.

The sound at :24 could be a synth, or something like an electric guitar sample dripping with spring reverb; hard to tell.

Are you trying to completely re-make this track?
