How can I make or find a preset like this bassline at 0:33 in this track?

 

most synths
square wave
lowpass + some drive

 

Can you give me a little more extra info, cause I'm not that great at crafting sounds from scratch, I generally star with a preset ad then edit it as i like

 

I assume you have Serum. Just want to repeat what @dondada posted earlier but with some graphic.




0. start from initialized preset (reset)
1. Pick any Square wave, set the octave to -1
2. turn on the filter, select MG LOW 24
3. turn the cutoff almost fully down
4. pick ENV 2
5. and draw that shape, drag it to the Filter Cutoff (number 3), turn the modulation up to taste
6. boost the Drive to taste
7. boost the FAT to taste
8. Optional - turn on the Sub and adjust to taste (depends) but it is advisable to have the Sub on different track for easy mixing.

FX - maybe some plate reverb after to give it the "metal-like" sound for the tail. also some distortion/saturation if you want before the reverb. a little Dimension FX just to give it some.. dimension.

you may also add some sidechain (or LFOTool) to emphasize the pumping (or ducking) with the Kick in the arrangement.

Hope it helps.

@dondada @Stevie Dude I tried to make the preset but it sounds different to me.
The bass in the track sounds like a mix within this and a donk bass, I'm confused.
Let me know if you have any other tips, thank you.
These kinda tracks where it's all muffled up together to sound big are a headache for me lol

 

because you didnt do what i said
i said lowpass
the envelope is the problem
Leave the envelope off. get the bass somwhere near the sound you want
ad a midi pattern
ad some drive distortion (fabfilter saturn or something)
ad a highpass reverb on a send
mix to taste

this is just one way of doing it
if the sound is too distorted when it sounds right
split the Bass in 2(channels)
a) Bass
b) Bass note octave above
mix to taste
drive one of them to taste
same with reverb

play around and stop trying to get the exact same sound
Understand how its done and make something better

 

I loaded the preset you shared, yeah it sounds different from what I have here. Not saying what I created is exactly the same like the bass in the song, but more to the basic idea for that type of sound. Agree with @dondada that the envelope needs more fine tuning and the fine tuning is best done with the midi on play.

me, Id go for Nexus bass patches, it is like it is built for that sort of sound. I think the are some similar synth bass patches in the House(s) XP.

also this is a very good advice :

 

I agree with you but I have schedules to respect, and as I said I'm not that great with sound design as I am with songwriting, etc, that's why I prefer to look up presets, etc at least for remixes.
By lowpass the envelop what do you mean? I don't get if you're saying to turn off the envelope in serum or connect it to the filter and set the cutoff to zero?

 

I may have done something wrong for sure
