Droid Sector bass?

[Wolf Headed Muse]

I am not a huge fan of dubstep but some of its darker kin have struck my interest such as: Droid Sector, Substep Infrabass, and ▲Bruxa▲.

So I'v currently been trying to replicate the bass/wobble that Droid Sector uses, I can conjure most generic dubstep sounds but as I noted before I'm not into mainstream dubstep nor do I want to incorperate its influence in my project. The bass of Dorid Sector is a little more unique by being dark, metallic, but yet fluid as well, but when I try to make anything that would sound similar to Droid Sector I fail, I have got close but still no cigar. So if anybody could offer ideas or suggestions it'd be grand.

Here is an example of the low bass that I desire:

Better yet heres a more specific sound example in this track.

I guess this is the closest I have gotten to that sound:

If you want I can try to share the patch and you can modify it.

I give this a go. haven't done any dubstep in a while, but i can try to find something close.

That wobble is intense, plz share your knowledge?

I like how atonal it is. I can actually figure out a lot of what is going on, but I'm still scratching my head a bit. There is an impressive array of textures in that.

I'm not really a fan of the wobble bass on the DS-10, though. It usually just sounds like an LFO on a filter to me. Dubstep bass sounds are intricately layered so it's hard to get the sound right. I'm tempted to attempt a sound like the second example posted, but I have a feeling it would require at least two synths.

[Decktonic]

ok I will try to make sure to post the patch later.

I do layer my main bass synth with a very low simple sine wave, to get really thick intense bass. But my problem has always been that I don't have the same bitcrushing effects that I can use in software like Ableton to make the bass gritty.

Yeah the closest I got so far was by using both synths so I could get more articulation.

Ok cool
So you have to use both synths as well to get that complex of a sound?
And can bitcrushing be done during mixing as if it were in the effects rack? I might give it a try. I somewhat think that maybe its not so much the "sound" of the bass as much as it may be the "rhythm"

Well, I tried using three synths and Decktonic is right, it seems almost impossible to get any kind of grit without bit crushing.

If you're going to do post-processing anyway, I would just record the synth parts individually and layer them in software while you're adding the effects, since then you can add different effects to different layers of the bass to tweak the sound. From what I've heard, a lot of dubstep producers create their sounds by splitting the base up into different frequency bands and applying different effects to the different bands.

Hm interesting...I need to try this method
