Guys, who know?
How to make 90's Pump/Bamboo/Donk bass, like "Klubbheads - Turn Up The Bass" as well as in tracks of our Russian "XS Project" (Hard Bass/Pumping House) ???
I need it for to save originality of this bass for my new Deep Future House track...
I think they used it from hardware synthesizers, but nowadays there is a lot of VSTi-synths that can do it (sound engines and possibilities are unlimited nowadays)? maybe some presets exist? Deep Future House presets for Spire/Massive/Sylenth I have found are not real sounding, unfortunately.
Also I suppose it is done with FM synthesizer maybe, but who of you guys know how to do it with 100% preserving full originality and all the vibes of Bamboo Bass sound???? Presets? Video Tutorials?
NEED IT TOO MUCH))) As for me, 90's ARE BACK) But there is a lot of 90's sound presets for synths, but no bamboo donk bass(((( looks like it is ignored by sound-designers...

 

The sound you're after sounds just like the Donk Machine, which is free.

Yeah, 90s are back here too

 

I made it with NI FM8 a while ago. If I'm right I used a tutorial from a Prodigy bass as inspiration/guideline. I don't have FM8 installed at the moment so can't save a preset (although I think I know in which project I used it) so for now I would say start with the same tutorial! That one I found :replace_me: http://www.musicradar.com/tuition/t...-full-throttle-style-hollow-bass-sound-552550

 

Holy crap I can't remember ever wanting to smash something so hard for the last decade or so after hearing that demo. Probably since I last heard a donk bass.

 

Nooooooo... *holds cross and throws holy water*

If it's 90's and FM like Autechre, Aphex Twin, etc then it's ok. ;)

I take it you've found what you're looking for.

 

Donk Machine has one preset that is very close to what I am looking for. I slightly changed it, and it is now 90% realistic, but the mid is weak..a lot of sub-bass and high click (it can be slightly equalized and transient-shaped)...but that mid is weak...with reverb it is bigger, gloomer and more interest, sounds better...I saved preset..maybe more variants guys? maybe samples? or track that I can sample from? but sampling is a hurt in ass, like time-stretching and pitching, that are more artificial and "digital", than synthesize....looking for it further, guys. Thanks to mewoingtons, it is the best what I've heard in VSTi/preset, I will save this VSTi up to the better found version of this bass...

 

No problem, good luck.

 

that guy knows how:

 

Don't ya love it when people say thank you. Or Not in this case.
