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

Smokin Beats Featuring. Lyn Eden - Dreams (Kings Of Tomorrow Vocal):

 

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.

 

Kind of late, but can you please create a preset of this bass sound for u-he Diva?

Thank you.

 

Here you go preset for Diva

Thank you, but it has already been removed for violating TOS. Could you please reupload it to a different site?

 

it's because of the referrer problem. the file is there. copy/paste into your browser https://www.mediafire.com/file/7nu0r54wh90r4ag/Majestic+House+Bass

 

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
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

 

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.

 

Hi there! I'm quite late to answer, I know, but life's life and mine got a bit busy and frantic all this time since, leaving me no time to invest on music. So, being back from the vaults, I saw somebody shared a preset for Diva, but since this post is from 2023, links are down, and I would like, if I may, ask you for your preset, if you're up to make it and you have time for it.

Thanks a lot, in advance!

 

Here is preset for Diva if you want:

Brilliant!
Thank you SO much!

 

Hi, sorry for the late reply.

I searched my folders to see if I still had that preset but unfortunately I couldn't find it (but I'm pretty sure I saved it somewhere) and for now I don't have free time even for my projects so I can't redo it from scratch in the next days. From what I remember it was a very easy patch though.

Just use 2 saw waves, one 1 octave lower than the other and with lower volume, low cutoff, low resonance, low envelope amount on the filter, use a good amount of filter drive. Decay and Sustain of the lower octave Osc just slightly longer than other Osc, same medium/short release and finally apply an high pass around 100hz and you should get pretty much that sound.

If you still can't find that sound write me again and I will try to find some time to do a preset for you but please try it for yourself before, it's a pretty basic patch

Not to worry!
Thanks anyway, I'll try with your instructions as soon as I have some time, as well! Hehe!
Just a tip, in case it's helpful for you, you could use Everything by voidtools to index hard drives' contents and be able to find files quite easy and fast. I'm using it since years ago and it is really helpful for me. Hope it is for you, too!
