Subject: Removing 20hz from the bass
Original Message Date: 01-May-03 @ 08:44 AM - Removing 20hz from the bass
How would you do this in Logic? Well, what I mean is which eq would YOU use? I don't think the high pass filter sounds that nice. Plus I wanna remove 20hz-80hz on a sliding scale (I know that's not the correct techy speak but hopefully you know what I mean), so theres like 18db of removal on the 20hz bit gradually reducing to no db removal at 80hz. Then I can give the bass a 3db boost at 80hz on my analog board.
Is this the right idea and which ones the best. DJ, fat, track or paramentric. I tried it on the Fat eq but when I cut 18db at 20 hertz, the slope is too steep and actually knocks 3db out of the 80 hz area aswell.
Any suggestions ladies?

However, maybe I should only go up to say 50 hertz.

or get waves stuff which goes down to -100db and Q 100 or something
FmcN, no i dont really use ES2 unless i stumble across a preset which fits my needs (which is very rare) because a) i like to roll my own, and b) es2's interface totaly fucks me up when i even try to patch something on it. what I do for bass, is use esm or es1 or a1 or something for the very low bass which needs to be tightly synced with the drums, and use h/w for any interesting stuff which goes over that.

Milan, what's an a1? Plus, you use the es1 for bass? Do you start with any patch in particular?
I really like the fatpluck bass but I have to write a bassline up at around the third octave otherwise it sounds rubbish.

umm... as for subbass sounds, or any sounds really, i usually start from scratch so i know exactly how the patch is gonna behave.
but do tell, what are you actually after? you seem to go around and around without actually getting to the point. whassa deal, drop? what are you looking for?

Anyway, back to bass. I'm kinda after something with the weight of the "monster sine" patch in the es2 with the funk n pluck of the "fatpluck bass" patch on the es1. Yes, I have tried to layer the two of them before. Doesn't work well.
How much is this Waldolf soft synth then?

b) i'm not really familiar with those patches, but have you tried to imitate oscilator settings of the 'monster sine' with envelope settings of the 'fatpluck bass' or something like that? dunno how far you are with synth programming, but maybe its time to get down and dirty with making your own sounds.
c) you cant really buy it, except with cubase xs. unless you stumble across it somewhere on the net. ahem
regards, m.
