    Hi

    I'm trying to copy this song.
    [media]https://youtu.be/fcGcpVRGwmw[/media]

    But I got only basic knowledge of synth sounds..
    So I have difficulty distinguishing sounds...

    I want to know if anyone could tell me how to get these synth sounds. I mean Bass part and main sound. It starts 0:01.


    Thanks.

    Those sounds are a bit tricky

    To get the bass sound try using a sinus (as a sub osc) and one or two saw waves.
    The rest can be done by EQing. Cut the low end of only the saw waves and cut some high frequencies using a ~12bd/oct hicut and carefully reduce higher frequencies using a hi-shelf (try the hi-shelf at about 500Hz)

    The main synth probably consists of many layers.
    Try: many saw waves, some chorus and reverb, a rather flat lo-cut and hi-cut
    To get the motion that's going on in the higher frequencies of the sound add a lfo to the hicut filter (tempo of the lfo should be 1/8)
    Some unision can help but better cut the side signal later (below ~300 and over ~15kHz)
