You know back in the day, there was a Sampler called E-MU e6400 Ultra, (I still have mine). It has a proprietary filter setting called "Zplane Filtering" And you could take a normal bass sound and turn it into a Monstrous-Sick-Distorted-Evil-Beast of a sound. What you doing here sounds very similar to that "Zplane-Filtered" sound. e.g. Search YT for "Trifonic Twisted Leads Logic Pro" he resampled his E-Mu into Logic's EXS24 sampler, and it sounded EPIC. IMO, it an easier process than resampling over 6-times in Cubase... Anyhow, Gonna have to make some new Zplane-Filtered Bass sounds now. Thanks for the Inspiration and video, and as always, great job!
Haha been lusting after an EMU myself for years, I think once we move and we're a bit more permanently located I may pick one up for nefarious bass design purposes. Love the sounds of those filters and the overdrive. I've seen that Trifonic video many times haha, and actually that's where I picked up on the 3x2 filter of Kontakt to create some faux z-plane filter madness. But, one of these days I'll have to get an EMU if I can find one in good condition!
Yo dude! I use OBS to capture my screen, and then Voicemeeter Banana and Virtual Cable for my voice and to route the DAW audio to OBS. Then, I have a sidechain set up in OBS for talking. Might make a tutorial on it at some point!
Hey VT, really liking that you went back to the whole sine compression stuff! It's a really creative way of getting some interesting bass it seems! Just a quick question, I use FL, so what would I use for movement in the sound, such as automating a notch/comb filter? Would I need to go out and get plugins to do this or is there any stock way of doing it? Sorry I know you're an Ableton user! Just sometimes hard to keep up with the stuff from a different DAW when you're not 100% sure on everything :p loved the vid!
this is cubase! not ableton. And the plugins used in the video are a brand by the name of kiloHearts, theyve got an affordable and sometimes free product line, otherwise any filter will do-- im sure FL has one
Hey dude! For sure, glad you liked the video! With FL, I would assume the way to go with this would be to create a Patcher instance, and use the EQ (forget if it has a special name, maybe it's just called EQ) and write automation for that with notches/peaks, or use something like fruity filter / lovephilter to do other filtering and whatnot. Should definitely be doable with stock plugins! Cubase just lacks an actual filter plugin, and the EQ can't be automated without artifacts so I use the Kilohearts filter (very awesome/cheap) instead.
Tweak the cut off on serum, then on the left hand top side of FL click on [tools] - [last tweaked] - [create automation clip]. An automation clip for the cutoff will appear in the Playlist. You can do this for any previously adjusted knob in any Vst within fruity loops.
For sure, that's definitely another way to do it if you're an Ableton user! His rack is really well designed for this stuff. You could also do it without resampling by just setting up macros or something in Patcher in FL, or with Quick Controls in Cubase!
filters are not like EQ even they seems the same. One most important thing is, filter's freq (or cutoff) is based on key and polyphony, for example, you set a notch's cutoff at 440Hz, then set keytrack to 100%, now play and hold A3, A4, A5, you will get three notch filters each with their own cutoff (220, 440, 880Hz), if you use EQ, you just cut 440Hz in the Audio.
Hey dude! Usually when I'm doing basses like this, I do it all in a single session and record each pass manually so I can go back just in case I screw up or want to repeat the processing chain with a different sound. Bouncing in place is another good way to achieve the same thing though!
@@VenusTheory when you render in place, you can leave the original untouched (just on mute, for example), so you don't lose anything, just save time instead. I have mine on a keyboard shortcut (shift + alt + r) and it's just sooo convenient, I highly recommend it!
I liked to your process but like his whole original point I feel was to go kinds insane with it. I like your tailored approach though. I just went through mr Bill's course and realized tho that in terms of bass music there is no rules and you often come up with crazier results when you just experiment. Idk I guess it's just me but I prefer excessive automation and driving the daw to complete insanity until I find what I like and processing it for a track afterwords
For sure - this is mostly a video about showcasing the process and core ideas so that people can then take it and run with it. It's always best to get creative and see where different ideas lead than to just straight up copy a tutoria, which is why I try to demonstrate concepts more than super specific ideas/settings in videos.
I don’t think you understood the point of the video. it’s showing you the process of getting the fundamental of the sound down. Yes experiment as you please but if you can’t get the sound you want what exactly are you experimenting with lol
Haha I love my shirts. Fallout is also like my favorite thing in existence. Planning to finish out my studio with a bunch of Fallout stuff at some point!
Great tutorial. Definitely going to have to watch it a few more times to figure out the routing bit. Not sure on that, but the rest looked easy enough to follow and very effective sound.
Thanks dude! And for sure, the routing might take a minute but once you figure out how to do it you should be able to fly through it! Otherwise, you can always render in place!
Yo! Well, pretty much everything here can be done in Ableton. The only real difference is substituting the plugins for things like Autofilter, Saturator, Glue Comp, etc.
все видео можно было уместить в 1 минуту берем басс волну сатурируем по жесткому компрессируем и через фильтр пускаем рисуя автоматизациями всесь процесс уверен что нойся так не делают))
Haha well I guess that's what resampling is for. I still do that from time to time myself just bouncing the processed audio in stages and keep going with it.

yo this is the kind of crispy voice u hear on tv for the midnight ads :P
Haha yeah, I get that a lot.
what a fucking great tutorial
Thanks dude!
It's too soon for movember mate! 🤣
It's never too soon for hermit mode!
@@VenusTheory man you speak so much truth.
@alan thunder not random at all mate. Not in the slightest. I like sandwiches too by the way
Are you the voice of Pendulum - Blood Sugar :D
Nice Tut btw :)
Haha I am not, but I've heard that many times!
Hahaha, holy shit
Crazy sound designer 👍
I do what I can haha
A voice for radio. A face of a teacher. 👍
Haha thanks dude. Hope you enjoyed the video!
Thank you once again Venus Theory! Great stuff 😃
Thanks dude, glad you liked it!
Also how do you capture your screen for recording? And do you run ableton simultaneously to record your voice in sync?
Yo dude! I use OBS to capture my screen, and then Voicemeeter Banana and Virtual Cable for my voice and to route the DAW audio to OBS. Then, I have a sidechain set up in OBS for talking. Might make a tutorial on it at some point!
Thank you.
Your tutorials have helped me soo much, thanks man!
Glad to hear it!

very interesting tutorial
Glad you liked it!
revisit this again?
Yo, frequent has a rack which is mapped to your midi device and doesn't need resamplig up on his channel.
For sure, that's definitely another way to do it if you're an Ableton user! His rack is really well designed for this stuff. You could also do it without resampling by just setting up macros or something in Patcher in FL, or with Quick Controls in Cubase!
Will make a song with it
i like your style of Sine Compression,b ut why you use a notch filter in stead of using the Cubase EQ? there u have up to 4 parametics "Filters"
filters are not like EQ even they seems the same. One most important thing is, filter's freq (or cutoff) is based on key and polyphony, for example, you set a notch's cutoff at 440Hz, then set keytrack to 100%, now play and hold A3, A4, A5, you will get three notch filters each with their own cutoff (220, 440, 880Hz), if you use EQ, you just cut 440Hz in the Audio.
Frequent wants his tuto back
He can 1v1 me in dust knives only. In all seriousness though, he's a cool guy! Really interesting approach to bass design!
Nice. Can I just ask why you didn't do render in place each time?
Hey dude! Usually when I'm doing basses like this, I do it all in a single session and record each pass manually so I can go back just in case I screw up or want to repeat the processing chain with a different sound. Bouncing in place is another good way to achieve the same thing though!

can you do a tutorial like this but for falcon please?

bro have you heard the song Venus by GEOTHEORY, lol wild
wow nice1 tryin figure out how to move that on ableton . anyway cheersm8

No

He sound like a radio host
He does.
Do charlesthefirst
Awesome! But you used so much Fx plugins that in my Notebook - CPU will do this with 100% load and artefacts))
Haha well I guess that's what resampling is for. I still do that from time to time myself just bouncing the processed audio in stages and keep going with it.
@@VenusTheory I think resampling is a really powerful, but always I forget to use it :D
Highly recommend it haha, saves a lot of CPU power!
Also why aren't you using Ableton and serum, vital, or operator?

My secret has been discovered.....
What aren't you a voice actor 🧐
Haha I do voiceover work as part of my day job, but I'd love to do voice acting. Could definitely be a character on Spongebob.
interesting
It's a super fun way to make basses for sure. Resampling in general opens a whoooooole other world of weird sounds.
Become a radio announcer

Ha, yeah pretty similar!
Why did you do anything
