how to get a simple sine bass to stand out on headphones?
It's banging on the speakers, but on head phones you dont hear em..
And dont come up with "layer with reece, it's better" i'm makin something dubwise, and not dubwise like "the return of the killer dreads". really dubwise.

I think yer workin in FL right?
Well, try this.
Clone the sine bass channel.

Leave the first one as it is (for 'feeling' rather than 'listening');
Run the second one through the 'Blood overdrive' plugin in FL studio. Add an EQ and filter the high frequencies (above 2000Hz) and low frequencies (which belong to your sine, about 20-150Hz). Now you have a bass which belongs in the range from 150-2000Hz, a kind of humming bass which presents the listenable component from your bass.

Layer them both. Adjust the levels so that your layered bass can be heard and felt but not distinguished that it is a combination of separate sounds.

There ya go Bigup

Use the same procedure described above, but turn the PreAmp level on the Blood Overdrive a but more. Control the gain with the PostGain knob.
Also you can try setting the "x 100" knob on "ON", but beware for your ears. If you plan to use the x 100 setting, lower the PreAmp level to about 25%, and set the Color knob to maximum - that will add a distinguishing feature to your bass.

There ya go, you have a distorted bass, closing to reece with the x 100 option. Big Grin

I do it always like that , and thats the best distortion technique at ease.

I allso use FastDist but not that much , cause the grime ain't that good enough.

What do you mean by "Bass equaliser/paramete" ?
Fruity has good plugins for EQ...

but I don't know what you need. There is a bass boost plugin in FL, and you have 2 kinds of EQ - Parametric and Graphic...hmmm... ?

always use the paramtric eq, it's more accurate and easier to tune imo.

yeh i know that freakin' FL parmetric EQ thing but what i want is an equaliser with (for example) 10 switches with a bandwidth from 10 - 250 .
Like a bass Equaliser only .
Cause when i work with the parametric one i feel like i need more switches.

and a Grapical equaliser just for bass is handfull too.
...and hard too find.

Just turn all the frequencies of the parametric eq into the 50-300Hz zone?

thats the hard way , eq'ing on a piece of 5 square centimeter. It's just not precise enough imo.

If i could i designed one myself.

what he said is to limit the minimum and maximum values of the eq. I know this can be done in say.. izotope ozone

edit: there is a dedicated bass-eq: Waves LinEq Lowband (found in the 4 bundle version in my case)

you guys need to learn to use what you have, he's right. the fruity fx may seem simple, but they're not...you can do most everything you need with just them (except the distortion is, admittedly, really lacking).
settle down for a while, stop churning out the same shit and hone your skills.
