I've been producing for a few years now, I've mastered the simple reese style basslines but cant seem to make those dark and moody style basslines like Noisia and Phace Produce. Could anyone give me any tips, cheers.

i'm no superstar bass mangler, but the key to noisia basses lie in resampling and enunciating the subtleties that result from sampling and processing a sound several times. i'm sure bitcrushers,bandpass and formant filters are all an integral part of the process. also, splitting the bass into low, mid and high freq. ranges and treating each appropriately is a key part. it takes lots of time and experimentation, and don't assume these guys havent had to put loads of times into creating these sounds.

Check this thread where Noisia answers many bass-related questions

From what I've heard the trick is to split a sound into low med and high and process them seperatly. Setting differant Lfo rates to each band. Aslo adding time based effects like chorus and flanged. When rejoining the bands compress them heavily with a multiband compressor and add presence (around 6khz ) then resample and layer the sound a few times.

I'm not certain this is the right way to do it but it seems to work, I've never got round to resampling as I need to preserve my hard drive space.

Sorry if this made no sense, I'm half asleep and posting on my iPod

peace

I've been trying the resampling thing but keep ending up with a load of distorted noise, guess I'll have to keep trying till I get there.

Well im no xpert but i find its all down to layering your raw reece in 3 stages.
1st make the bloody thing lol then import a c note into a sampler (im using exs24 with logic) but you can use kontact etc, then make subtle modulations
and i do mean subtle, the more harshness you add now ends up in the final
sound sounding to muddy and all over the place. once your happy with you mild modulation ( i tend to send lfo to filter 1st) then bounce down again to a c note.(if you want to be even more tactile you can bounce down in high pass then band the low) then reopen sampler and put the new bounces in and repeat a few times untill ur happy.

every time you reopen add the new1 on top of the last 1 but change what you modulate ie sample start to lfo2 lfo to res via velocity just keep changing the way you layer (in which order you lay on top of each other)

hope this helps a little???
