    Hi there,
    Struggling to find the way to get the bass sound 90's House music had, I'm desperating. Tried software, tried sampled instruments as basses from Ample Sound, but one way or another I never find what I am really looking for. Basses I find usually sound too synthetic, or unreal, too old (House from first years of the 9T's) or simply awfull and lacking of all the presence a bass needs to have.

    Just in case anybody could shed some light on this, I'm leaving here a track which has one of those bass sounds I'm talking about:
    Forgot to mention: it starts at 0:30

    It sounds like a simple subtractive saw bass (saw + 1 octave down osc mixed in lower in volume).

    Here's a really quick attempt with ableton's operator but any synth will be fine:

    I used ultimate vocal remover 5 to remove the bass from the loop and then I replaced it with mine.

    Original loop added for comparison.

    They don't sound 100% indistinguishable but the core sound is there imo and with some work as adjusting notes length and position (I played from pc keyboard one take and not quantized or adjusted anything), fine tune filter cutoff and VCA/filter envelope settings etc... it could be made to sound pretty much like the original one.

    Great track btw!

    OMFG! You're God! Lustrums took it for me to find something decent, without much luck. And then you arrive in a snap and shoot me down. I have to well study your guidelines. Thanks mate!

    You're welcome! I can share a preset for a vst synth of your choice so you can have the sound already there, "study" it (it's really a simple sound) and learn how to make it on your own next times.

    Sounds just like a deep funky bass with decay, maybe adjust the filter cut off to your taste. FL Sytrus has 2 good presets for this Deep 1 & 2 Bass or most decent synths will do this.

    Thx for the info! I thought this pop out because "/file" at the end of link so I removed it but it was not it :bleh:
    Ok, now I know, not only remove "/file" but also everything from end up to "dot" so also ".h2p"
    Because link to working properly can't has dot.
    Weird but ok :wink:

    it's any of those anonymizer type pages like hideyou.me. they do url forwarding, but the FFS hosting company want it to be a "unique visit", the same way they do not want to allow vpn. I have no idea why they would want to; probably to hit you with more popup ads. The variant of that you are describing is usually from Peeplink to the file hosting sites, when you will see the full filename within the url and they just add a file extension after it. It's like hosting of last resort, but it's free.
