''myspace frequency'' lmao

[@olivereaves6774]

@John Proctor he said that at a certain point, lower frequencies aren't heard on a phone speaker. So if someone's listening on a phone, it's important to boost the frequencies the phone can play. I assume "Myspace " refers to the fact that your friends may be discovering your music through a social media app such as myspace, which probably means they're using their phone.

This is it. The tutorial I've been waiting for! Thank you, Underbelly! Noisia gang :D

[@final_animal]

This doesn't work on Ableton Live 11 unfortunately, as is the case with a lot of Operator tutorials online now. No idea why they'd change all the defaults like that, it really messed up a lot of older content. I had an Ableton instructor look at a project file from a modular drum patch tutorial I was trying to follow online and he was stumped, it just wasn't compatible with my version of Ableton. I really wish they'd just left it alone, this neurobass sounds great!

[@lancekuder8958]

[@fretnoize]

I followed along with Massive 1 and Reaper. Trickiest part was the sweeping bandpass filter. In the trim selection you can choose the mod option for the freq of the bp filter and lock it to the macro you use for the LP filter in Massive. Also instead of a separate chain bypassing the band pass filter, you can just adjust the wet/dry mix (i was using ReaEQ). I also just grabbed the OTT plug-in from xfer, it's free.

[@rmoelleux]

I have this weird thing with operator in ableton 11, I have to push the filter above 10khz to get the full sound of the harmonics (even though they sit at no more than 310hz. I start hearing them at around 1khz cutoff), if I put it at 300hz like you did in your video I hear basically nothing (only a muffled fundamental, no harmonics), even if I push the levels really high. On the spectrum it looks like the filter reduces the sound waaay below the cutoff, at 1khz the third harmonic is at -48 db, with the cutoff at the max it's at like -7db, at 300hz they're at an abysmal ~-100db. For this test (no effects after operator), I have the three oscillators at 0db (except the second harmonic, I put it at -4.4db), and operators output is at -5.4db (I get distortion above that). (Also, unrelated, for some reason the sustain is at the max on the first oscillator by default but not on the others). Also I don't understand how you can get this sound with -12 to -15db on the oscillators and -12db on the output, I have to push everything way higher to get the saturation to do anything. Overall I can get a similar sound by changing levels and cutoffs but I just wonder why it works differently on my system, anyone knows why ? I just want my filters to work like they should.

[@lolioliol360]

SAME BUT I FOUND THE SOLUTION! His Operator probably has different default settings to ours so I had to check every single one of his settings and match them up. I found that there was a setting in my operator filter that was messing everything up. It's the freq>key setting, which I had be default at 100% when it should've been at 0% like in the video.

[@KnzoVortex]

You see fellows, the secret to bass is that you can never have enough OTT. Missing some sauce? OTT. New effects took away some sauce OTT. Already have enough sauce? OTT. You have too much sauce now, well OTT. You've been stuck in your room for 5 hours making Neuro basses and your parents are concerned? Slap some OTT on your parents. you've been kicked out of your house and are in dire need of food. eat some /msg/ OTT. Dead? ... Just remember, you can never have enough OTT, and if you keep slapping them on, you'll eventually solve all your problems.

I set the first filter to max at 300hz and can barely hear anything. Not sure how yours is coming thru so strong. Where I get confused as well is the bandpass filter stops at 700hz, but if the first filter in operator cuts out at 300hz wouldn't we not get any frequencies at 700hz?
