I like to make Trap music. So I have a huge 808 Sub bass in my drop. I also like to use bass synths in my drop as well. I use serum to make my bass leads and sometimes I pitch the lead 1 or 2 octaves down. This usually drops the fundamental of whatever wavetable I'm using below or roughly around the 100 Hz mark.
Now I always do a high pass at around 100Hz to leave enough room for this 808 sub. Now If I'm cutting these frequencies out Im usually cutting some of the fundamental out and it doesn't sound right. It sounds kind of weak and thin, especially if I'm making a bass pitched down 2 octaves.
Now for my last song I actually used serum and processed the wavetable to remove the fundamental and I'm not sure if it was the right move or not.
Basically some of my basses have a really loud fundamental that sounds almost like a sub, which makes sense because its pretty low so why not cut this out?
Listen to my post below if you want to know what it sounds like without the fundamental in the bass.
