How To Make Disclosure's BEST Bass Sound!!

[@Gnurklesquimp]

''Idk how I got it sounding so good that day'' This is the most relatable thing I've heard regarding sound design

[@nanob0zo]

Monark is super underrated. But... it should be standalone VST not having to load up Reaktor for 5 mins each time.

[@Audiojunkk]

for real!

[@alex_opr]

[@Kaotonix]

Sol State droppin gold nuggets like it's the gold rush - thank you! If anyone is in FL Studio, humanizing your piano roll notes you can do "Alt R" to alternate velocity of each note or "Alt S" to shift and strum those notes which also alternates velocity. I also bought Decapitator and it has been one of the most useful VSTs I've used next to CLA-2A. You can use it on drums, vocals, guitars, pretty much anything.

[@St0ckwell]

That Pro-MB sidechain on the sub trick is something I independently came across once, and now I always use it. Glad to see I'm on the right track with the pros! Pro-MB is an absolute must for modern mixing. Unless you want to go through a more tedious process of creating two separate frequency-split bass channels. Awesome video as always. This channel is a godsend.

[@noname-ng6sj]

Logic has had its own multiband compressor for over 15 years...

[@St0ckwell]

Waves C6 equally does the job - the plugin you choose is all down to preference, of course. They achieve the same thing.

It's interesting how many subtle amounts of different saturation he uses. small amount of decapitator, bitcrusher and saturn. can't tell if its worth having all 3 on but it does sound amazing so what do I know haha.

I honestly dont think they make much of a difference at all, but u dont get to where Disclosure is at unless you’re extemeley detailed oriented

Would you say that sometimes the bass should be before the kick frequency wise? So Bass, Kick, Chords, Sparkles VS. Kick, Bass, Chords, Sparkles?

Yes, just depends on genre. For example D&B vs House.

Thanks for the tips disclosure and Sol State. He adds 100hz on the bass amps and then takes it away with EQ. He takes away the high freq from the bass and then layers a high freq bass on top (monark). Interesting.. lol

[@SolStateMusic]

Yeah, not the most efficient, but thats how things go sometimes...

[@HumanBeingWithFeelings]

@@SolStateMusic Yes,I'm guilty of that too xP, although for a beginner watching this, I understand it could be very confusing. cheers!btw the sidechain I suppose it's from the kick? I think he doesn't say it. cheers! :)

[@winterlogical]

@@HumanBeingWithFeelings a little late to this response but I know Disclosure actually has a metronome click sound as an actual track in the project, and sidechains everything to that instead of the kick (normally). Maybe you figured that out by now from watching other vids but yeah hope that helps :) I think the utility of it is that a single sharp click is easier to shape your sidechaining around, rather than a kick which can be longer/trickier to perfectly shape a sidechain around.
