Growl Bass Tutorial #2 - Monster Bass in FM8 (Skrillex - First of the Year)

Күн бұрын- - - - - - READ DESCRIPTION NAO - - - - - -
WATCH YOUR VOLUME, the music is loud in some parts and it may ear rape you, so get ready to turn it down XD
Well then, here's another tutorial, like I promised guys. This time, on FM bass; you know, that huge organic roar used by Zomboy, Kill The Noise, Skrillex, and all the other big names :3
The tutorial is in two parts:
1) FM8 patch which sounds pretty sick on its own
2) How to use a vocoder to add awesomesauce to the FM bass
Just remember, do feel free to make some changes. Do what sounds good to you :)
That's how I learnt to do all this crap; I figured it out instead of copying tutorials :P
And ultimately, have fun O3O

Yeah, I realize how dumb I sound in this video now. I've learned a LOT more about FM synthesis since this video. Even using calculus to determine modulation patterns XD I know that operators are modulated by the derivative of the modulating operator, which is why a triangle wave behaves like a square wave; constant positive slope for first 0.5T, constant negative slope for remaining 0.5T. Still have to find magnitude of modulation though. Also, I use the morph pad a lot now :3

Such an awesome video. Dubstep may have gone out of vogue since 2013, but in 2040, people will be coming back to this video to learn how to make "classic dubstep" from the time before OTT and Serum!

IF YOUR BASS SOUNDS DIFFERENT READ THIS!!!!...Hello, the problem you are having is most likely the notes he is playing, unfortunately he doesn't tell you the notes, but fear not here is a solution to your problem remember in the beginning he was trying to show you to wave form of a triangle and was making really low, you probably watched and didn't realize that when he went to go make the note lower he went to the master and pitched it down 2 octaves (-24) and throughout the video he doesn't change it back if you do this it shouldn't be hard to find the right note and make the same sound. Hope i helped have a great day! c: God bless everyone!

You, sir, are a genius. I've made it about halfway through the tutorial (to the part where you add the FM8 patch to the vocals) and it's only taken 8 hours or so. What I have now compared to what I started with are worlds apart, as is my understanding of the software. Thank you.
@jAyMaC128 10 жыл бұрын
FM8 has a matrix-based routing system, whereas Operator only has a number of fixed routing configurations. Operator also has a maximum of 4 operators, whereas FM8 has 6. Operator ratios are also limited in Operator, which has a discrete set of ratios, whereas FM8 has a continuous range of operator ratios. I think I've covered the majority of the most common features of both synths - anyone else who can add, feel free to do so :)

**SOLVED** Anyone else finding that this sounds really different on newer versions of fm8? even by 3:30 when he switches to the triangle wave I'm finding that I'm getting very different harmonics out of the sound. I wonder if NI have slightly updated the triangle sound since then. The confusion came from when he turned all the velocity sensitivity up. Make sure you're inputting notes at 100 velocity! Otherwise it won't sound the same

Once installed, FM8 will be placed in your default VST plugins folder. You must locate and select this folder in Live's preferences. Once Live knows the location of this folder, it will catalog all the VSTs present in that folder.

I've had a think about it, and I recommend reducing the vocoder's 'Depth' parameter. That will make the sound sit more with the carrier, and reduce the influence the vocals have on the carrier sound, decreasing overall 'wetness'. Increasing the bandwidth may also help reduce this 'wetness'.

Very good tutorial. Really loved it! This sound reminds me of kill the noise :) Btw here's a neat trick. You can use the fm8 own Modwheel so you don't have to use external one ;) Here's how I did it 1. Go to the mod page in fm8 and delete the pitch route (click and scroll to zero) 2. Put everything to 100 except operator F. The Amount you leave determine how much sub bass you have left when everything else is off. Or put it also 100 and use sine from another plug as a sub bass :)

If you use Live, you can do this in the piano roll. The small section underneath the piano keyboard will have vertical lines whose positions correspond with the starting position of each note. Drag these up and down to adjust the velocity of the notes. Greater precision can be achieved by holding "Ctrl" while dragging.
@CorbbinGoldsmith 11 жыл бұрын
You can use the Morph function as well to change the sound of FM8. Make the first sound you want, then go to the Easy/Morph panel, and under the XY, click on "Normalize Timbres". That will copy the sound to all of the four slots for the morph. Once you do that and change the sound of at least two of the xy slots, you can modulate the X or Y instead of mapping them individually, which is of course, very tedious.

All I do is sidechain using standard method with Ableton Compressor and the use the EQ section inside compressor to cut the lows, which gives a short sidechain that ducks the track just enough to sound good, while not going overboard. Just play around with the EQ inside compressor, it's really useful :)
