ello people!

i'm a hard dance producer looking to dabble a bit in dnb, mainly trying to create savage basslines... but at the moment am totally failing.

I know what i want to do. If i post up a sample of something similar, could someone give me some advice?

Cheers everyone Big Grin

to me that sounds like a detuned saw wave with a load of distortion, and the filter cutoff frequency and resonance has been modified to get that woOow kinda sound Smile
i dont know how long you've been producing electronic music but if ya dont understand anything ive said just let me know n ill try n explain Smile

You don't need any fancy VSTs for that, even TriangleII (free) can give you a good bass wave to start with, add just add a lot of distortion. You need a cool filter to give the sound that vivid extra like CamelPhat3 (setting BAS WarpDrive) for example. The high part of the bass gets filtered during play by manipulating cut off and resonance with LFO's. This can be done easily with Camelphat, it's a real easy tool, judt fiddle around with it and you'll see.

MY advice is whack two saw waves together at a slight detune to each other, my the sounds of the sample, sounds fairly detuned - say about 20-30 cents off. Distort the hell out of it with disotortion or overdrive. Tweak the res and cut FLOs to whatever speed u want ur wah. Also Eq the midrange where u want ur "wah" to be as well.

Hope that helps.
