Under92 Posted December 2, 2013 Share Posted December 2, 2013 whatever you are trying to do, to me it sounds completely complex and unnecessary. are you sure were talking about the same thing there? sub bass is the lowest part of the frequency-range, giving your tune the power around the low end, the part that you rather feel than hear. is that really a part of your song that you want to have some crazy-complex melodies, pitch bends and stuff like that going on?

ScareWare Posted December 2, 2013 Author Share Posted December 2, 2013 if im making trap or electro, something like that i can do with one sub. but for some of the heavier things that i like to make, the sub has to follow or its just not the same impact Link to comment
Bulker Posted December 2, 2013 Share Posted December 2, 2013 (edited) I dont use them to keep them on the same levels, i use seperate ones so that i can do different pitch bends and glides. if i wanted to have only one sub bass i would have to do some crazy pitch bend automation. Okay, I see. Then I guess the only solution would be not to have release. Or ofc to tweak the separate sub their releases to make sure they have release; but dont overlap.

andius Posted December 3, 2013 Share Posted December 3, 2013 It'd be really helpful for you topost an example clip of the area of your tune you are having trouble with Link to comment

darkelixirdub Posted December 3, 2013 Share Posted December 3, 2013 ok. the best way to do subs: 1. use 1 sine wave. 2. don't let the notes overlap. 3. no attack and no release it has to almost be a tone that is instant unless you have an LFO on the bass and want it to follow it. 4. don't use much processing on the sub because you will most likely fuck it up. ok. when you have done that use a sidechain compressor to keep it out of the way of the kick and any other sub hits you might have. you then should add a filter and low pass it at around 100 - 110 hz. anything over that is not really needed and a lot of the time clicks you might hear are from the midi triggering the sub. this should help. if not make sure it's not going over in the synth or the channel. if it's clipping in the synth then i might sound bad!

ScareWare Posted December 4, 2013 Author Share Posted December 4, 2013 (edited) @darkelixirdub - that is exactly how i do it, except that i use more than one synth. i was hoping to get a clean sub but i guess you're right about the eq taking care of the clicking that come along with those setting here is an example anyways: Zippyshare.com - sub clip.wav Edited December 4, 2013 by ScareWare Link to comment
Bulker Posted December 4, 2013 Share Posted December 4, 2013 I think that is just because the wave of your LFO doesn't start at 0. Should be this Link to comment
