i was referring to OP's Bass,

in your example actually there is sidechain ducking up-beat, followed by no sidechain ducking off-beat.

well, whatever

i think we gave the OP some good examples how to obtain this kind of bass

 

thanks everybody but i can't achieve anything more than this
as you can hear, it's not powerful, it lacks frequencies, it's really shit, still can't figure it out and i don't wanna use samples or rip or whatever
(i know it's not in context, but trust me i added a kick too later and it was almost worse lol)

there's some shit going on in high frequency i think it's the website but those are the least important

i Will attach the file

 

i think your somewhat on the right way, just keep it going

 

anybody got any other clues? im completely stuck. there is something i'm missing for sure. or maybe its way simpler than i think.

point is: i cant make anything similar sounding

 

what synthesis are you using, look for FM synths

 

i thought this was supposed to be a simple subtractive job

put two waves, maybe two+a sine. a bit of distortion or filter drive, and boom done.
instead i can't do it.

i'm not saying i'm an expert, but i can make other sounds more easily, plucks, pads, etc. when it comes to bass it's a bit harder, and i usually analyze waveforms and stuff so i can get an idea.

well no luck 'till now

 

FM synthesis can create more complex timbres than subtractive/analogue synthesis + in a more linear way.
this isn't usually wanted for Basses, well, it depends (as always).
but for your example i would say you have to go FM with the appropriate saw waveform.

(edit)
and octave stacking is key for this bass

i will try and get back at ya !

 

Not to distract you from work, but when pointing to fm, we should also mention a phase modulation oscillator. It can do a very good job at supplying the deep bass and strong harmonics. Just saying.

 

Not perfectly spot on, but I made this really quickly:

Made the bass in Sylenth1. Sine, and a square an octave below. Lowpassed it all. Added a distortion (after Sylenth1) and finally some more lowpass filter (after distortion).

 

hey Baxter that is really nice. mind sharing with us the distortion used?
thanks for detailed image

 

I used the free Gravel (dist/bitcrush/sampel-rate crush) and commercial ApQualizr2 (EQ).

have saw with hpf bass and sqr with lpf highs

very short pitch anvelope and other kinds of errors in the machine

 

had some good results with baxter try and with some fm synthesis

really? what kind of envelope? errors?
you hear a pitch envelope in those basses?
