I am working on an EDM/rap style song with someone right now online, and he wants me to put the "low end in". I have never really worked with bass/sub low end stuff before, and I have no idea exactly how they do it, but I do know I guess that they use a sub synth in combination with a kick, I think?
The guy online I am talking to about it said he uses a gate somehow in his sub synth to create separation and the "hits" he wants.
How close am I so far? Maybe you or someone can reclarify so I know for 100 % fact what I'm doing here and what this is all about. Are sub synths (like the VSTi in my DAW labeled hip hop sub bass) what they use for this style of music, rap/hip hop? Is there anything other than a sub synth like this that they use, or different styles of sub synths or something? Is it actually a sub synth what I am hearing in the long drawn out booooooooommmms in my bro's 12 inch subs in his car? Like, if his 12 inch subs held onto just one note, without so called "hitting".. if it was just being held onto with no separation/hits in the boom, what exactly is the held on sound? It's a VSTi sub synth like the "hip hop sub sub bass" VSTi my DAW, right? And is it always, or is there other ways they create awesome bass?
