Massive Bass Tips
Here are a few little tips and tricks I use when I want a massive bass sound:
- EQ EQ EQ EQ!!!! Eq'ing is one of the best ways to boost your bass, as everyone already knows, I cannot stress how important it is.
- Layer! Layer unobtrusive sine waves over your original bass sound at lower volumes to give it more deepness. Experiment with transposing one layer down an octave, up an octave etc.
- Strong thumpy attack: Create an instrument rack and drop your bass sound in it(obvious Live user is obvious). For the next part, you can use a sample, or I've found the preset for a 606 kick works pretty well. In any case, choose a deep thumpy kick drum with not too much high frequency sounds. Drop this in the instrument rack along with your bass. Adjust levels. Now your bass sound will have a massive, punchy attack.
