    try to run it thru Sonnox Oxford Dynamics, Open the "warmth" section give a bit of amount 20-40%, reduce a little bit the "max trim" to give a more natural and phat bass sound.

    This trick is useful for every bass which sounds too flat or too digital :wink:

    Thank you but I think that I have problem in the synth and I need to get the right settings on sylenth1 and after the synth will hear similar I will add some distortion ,and compressor plugin...
    So if you can analyze the original and to write which oscillator are needed and how to set the adsr it's will help a lot this bass is the basic for all the tuned kicks
    so if I will got it,I believe that with hard work I will make my own tuned kicks....
    Thank you for your comment I never used the Sonnox plugin I will check it....
    Ans sorry about my poor English....

    Like with almost everything bass related (kick, bass, tom...), you need to SPLIT your signal.

    There are several ways :
    -layering (one kick disto, one clean)
    -dry/wet disto (same kick)
    -multiband disto (disto your highs MORE than lows, because humans hear disto more in the mids/highs)

    There are probably other ways :wink:

    Yes, multi-band and parallel processing. Like EQ -> multiband distortion (with dry/wet) -> EQ.
    Process your bass, not your kick. Layer your kick with your bass. Adjust bass amplitude ADSR (pre or post distortion) and check/correct phase if needed (usually it does) between your bass and your kick.

    I would suggest to try to make a distorted kick for a tuned bass instead.
    don't forget harmony and melody if making music is your goal.

    I used multiband this is only this mid bass I solo the mid frequency with Izotope Imager .
    But in the sylenth1 I not find which oscillator are play together with the saw one...
    And how to set the pitch like the original bass because now my bass sound like melbourne bounce bass... not like distortion part of the kick..
    Maybe it's is the adsr I am really got stuck so can you see my settings and give me some tips it's will help a lot!!!
