It's all about placement of yer elements. There is NOTHING goin' on in a Dillinja tune below say, 250hz besides the kick-drum n' the bass. Which is what makes the Bass appear so nasty If you can get your snare to sit right while following this 1 rule, yer 90% there. 2. Start with a nice 808 sub n' distort the fuck out it and high-pass filter it around 140-170hz. When I mean Distort, I mean FUCKIN' KILL IT . In kontakt, this can easilly be achieved with the Saturation module, followed by the lo-fi module, then maybe slap some psp vintage warmer on that. But that's only one way, I've gotten a very tight effect by running the bass through a shitty guitar amp. Don't be fooled by all those articles trumpeting "analog this" "valve" that. The valve sound has alot more to do with down-sampling then vintage gear, but "8-bit soundsystem" doesn't roll of the tongue quite as well, no? Various amounts of chorus inserted between the distortion stages adds a bit of flava. 3. add a small-room or plate reverb too your mangled lead sound. 4. Add a sub-underneath, Start with a square wave, low-pass around 90 hz, then add a LIGHT saturation n' resample. 5. set both both sounds to go through a group channel, slap some heavy compression on the whole thing, and give a SLIGHT bump around 50-55hz with a very narrow Q parametric. 6. Shake and strain, serves 2...... warn your, roomates, girl-friend, parents, and neibhors before attempting this. 03-11-2004 14:25 Surya The Robot Registration Date: 04-11-2002 Posts: 11,238 Helpfulness rating:  Tnx for posting! __ "In dnb you should make people jump not swim" - Pieter Frenssen 2004 03-11-2004 14:56 illuminati Cool Producer Registration Date: 21-01-2004 Posts: 162 Helpfulness rating:  no prob...!!! yeah i tried this and got some unusual results...i dunno if i`m doing it right!!! but just messing around came up with some very strange sounds.... 03-11-2004 15:42 Surora23 Agressive Melodic Disorder Registration Date: 05-07-2004 Posts: 2,127 Helpfulness rating:  since ive been doing this for only 5-6mnths, i have NO idea what any of that shit means, and i have fruity loops, so.........yea im lost cheesr though! __ Rinse it OUT!!!! 04-11-2004 20:56 Soi Super Moderator Registration Date: 29-01-2003 Posts: 1,417 Helpfulness rating:  I tried to enhance some basslines using your method (a very good and widely-used one) and came up with sum heavy-armoured bassanimals. Their sound also reminded me of some Ram-stuff. Actually, the method described earlier on in this thread is a good one for spicing up your sound, whether it be drums, basses, pads, whatev'!
