Tutorial: Making a Speaker-shaking Sub Bass synth in Reason!

[@boyinaband]

That's why I limited the patch with a maximizer at the end to bring the patch back to that 0db level :) And also why I said if you only want to feel the bass then to stop part way through, since the rest enables you to hear it as well ^_^

[@boyinaband]

Cheers, my homeslice! It means a lot! :) Shuffle means when things are slightly off-beat. Program a beat in redrum with hi-hats on every step in the sequence, then hit the "shuffle" button - that'll show you exactly what it does.

[@maddy9749]

huh?

[@boyinaband]

As I said part way through - you could leave it at the simple sine wave :) The rest is just icing on the cake!

[@agenttuna]

You are a god! your tutorials are bad ass man, and i learn so much, ive watch about six so far and i love em all and marked em for stumbles :) hope you get some hits man!

[@juanimewu1425]

Instead of using a eq to cut harmonic content u may use the damage control knob on scream, it is essentially a dry wet knob for the distortion. Alot more convenient

[@iron0mike]

@realdanman it's because of the acoustic properties of your room, more specifically standing waves causing reinforcement of some frequencies and cancellation of others. This happens when the wavelength of the sound is the same as, or a multiple of the dimensions of your room.

[@ponchoko]

Much appreciation for this tutorial. My bass sounds better than ever now.

[@boyinaband]

You're welcome! :D

[@josephkrueger3712]

something about the way you talk seems like your narrating a movie... I love it

[@CharlieIsLORD]

I'm using this sub in a song I'm making at the moment. I actually find it gives it much more clarity and more of a shaking feel if the lo-cut is switched on on the M-Class EQ, without being at all detrimental to the sound. I could then reduce the levels and give myself more head-room to work with from there.

[@Paspaspas12]

Thank you! This helped me a lot

[@iron0mike]

@realdanman It's due to the acoustics of the room you are listening in. More specifically it is caused by standing waves which mean some frequencies are reinforced and some are attenuated. It happens when the wavelength of a sound is the same as, or a multiple of, one or more of the dimensions of the room. Try moving around the room, you will prob hear a dramatically different bass response.

[@MrArtVein]

@hellowill111 Basically what he was doing was tricking your ears into thinking they hear the low freqs by using higher ones. There are 3 oscillators in Thor. If you set them to three separate octaves, you can do this. He also added harmonics to the bass using Scream distortion.

[@IamGearboy]

As always very nice video dude and as you siad before . . (listen up noobies) . . . you can make a punchy sub bass like this one with any instrument really as long as you have a vst with sine waves . . . I really like how you focused out the resonance and pointed that out it took me forever to find a video that truly described that little hint when I first started . . . great vid!

[@Scottieoctive]

Had those regroove patches for while now and not really used it so thanks, that sub is da bomb!

[@sound30]

i love your tuts. all of them are simply great. don't stop doing it!!

[@dozeoneuk]

yeah man, glad you liked it. i gotta get round to doing stuff with timestretching in reason. aint even dropped any samples on my stuff. peace

[@prieto21]

3 octave split: the 3 different oscillators are set at 3 consecutive octaves so the sound covers a greater frequency range (pitch range).

[@VaaraScript]

Holy shit, I actually just finished reading the note when the video started.

[@JacobRomero]

Thanks for another rad and informative video Dave!

[@mic2016]

I always wondered how to make speaker shaking sub bass, now i know, thanks bruz!

[@IBreatheGrime]

The beginning is great.

[@DaveS-Ace]

Brilliant tutorial. Fast and on point.

[@Dilutedled]

Thank you so much on this tut man. Definitely helps me out with creating a sub-bass in my liquid tracks.

[@dave38x]

awesome tut mate! shall be using this for my dubstep production :)

[@Dries15]

This is just wonderfull, like that fantastic humour at the end!

[@Lets-Drone-With-Bone]

excellent tutorial! this is my favorurite so far...i have never been able to get good sub bass but now i know how to do it :-) cheers

[@Fraxxure]

Hey guy- Try using the spider audio splitter and running a graphic EQ to separate the low/mid/high and throw the effects on those individual lines, then merge them and run the compression afterward. DEFINITELY sounds better.

[@EliTron1]

Hi, great tutorial, but could you upload in HD? I can't really see the knobs very well. Thanks!

[@SooshiShef]

This is seriously awesome! Thanks for the help. I love your vids Dave!

[@andyroo7121]

Good Simple tutorial. Easy to understand. Keep it up

[@BassViolator1]

hahaha your last snippet of info about that girl had me on the floor. awesome job once again. Big ups...

[@Pirate454]

Niiiiice :D Does the Self oscillating filter work well for dnb?

[@JThirschman]

this is absolutely fantastic

[@foketesz]

man, quick, intuitive, useful, shaky, boomy... u name it. grrrreat

[@Dasfiend23]

Super help, easy to follow. Smashing!

[@Th3Jan1tor1]

Tis awesome. We all need more bass patches,especially those of us who are strangely obsessed with Thor. Maybe there should be a Thor Anonymous group,for addicts. Hi,my name is Ian and I am a Thoraholic.

[@migduh]

very nice tut, man. bass ended up pretty nice n heavy

[@mrmrfootballjones5216]

lot of info giving in this video you helped me out a lot

[@ShaadRoq]

Deep and very informative. Thanks.

[@PeterKeuneVideos]

@boyinaband This is a rather hard Tutorial to follow....I did everything exactly how you did it...But I still hear pops and clicks.Its good to know what note you played it at.I get the bassy sound but what about the pops and clicks? how do I get rid of them?

[@jaylegaspi]

Great tutorial-- thanks for the great tip!

[@devalish28]

where did u learn about all his on reason?

[@GrumpyGrebo]

kind of syncopates the rhythm automatically, so a regular basic beat will sound slightly more enrgetic, for example some hits will play slightly early and some late etc.

[@dozeoneuk]

yeah i think your probably right there. i know of a few good producers who use reason that make a good sub...look for loki1200 he has a good page on reason tutorials for dubstep, and even shows how to time strech

[@IGroomsI]

oh wow, I finished reading it right as the video started

[@kobalt77]

Thanks for this mate................I used the same instructions but with Camel Alchemy and Bi Filter 2.......................some great bassy sounds coming out !!!

[@MrUnderdawg777]

bro the video is sick and your beats are sick too and you from the uk and i learnt today ha ha thanks bro a bunch

[@twsafarn]

You're a genious, exactly at time with the message xD

[@subject8123]

lmfao that intro, didn't realize i clicked on boyinaband until I finished reading and "HI!"

[@meussram]

Excellent vid. Thanks!

[@agenttuna]

and what do you mean by shuffle? ive heard alot of people talk abuot shuffling there beats, but i cant notice anything really..

[@realdanman]

mixing the sub bass in my tracks is giving me grief! some keys appear to be more bass-y than others so when I get sudden kicks of sub instead of constant sub? any help? cheers

[@logicprohacks]

I kind of wish this video was at a higher resolution, 320p really sucks! I found it really hard to see the OSC Octave and filter settings you had made. It would be nice if you actually made reason videos again, and at least 720p??

[@spynebg]

@tricky12321 you need to click on "show devices" on your combinator

[@metalhelvut]

You should use the auto-initialize patch function.

[@Goldmotherfunker]

I followed the instructions as best as I could and once it reaches the scream 4 portion of the video i get a clicky squeak every time i press down on my midi keyboard. Please help.

[@psyoniksoundz]

@lickysunday Use pitch bend

[@horriblemen]

cool vid, really helpful and informative, cheers mate!!!!!!

[@Tokalah]

easy progressive stuff here thx alot !

[@Psychedelic-Flux]

What program is this? Please reply.

[@keacebeatz]

I would of added one oscillator sine wave and one square wave or even noise then filter. You can do all that in Thor.

[@haydenl666]

what software do you use?

[@dozeoneuk]

yeah man, i might get one with my next student loan, lol. would love the roland 808

[@luiswega]

nice work !

[@Woodworth19]

Well i've tried Fruity loops, Albeton live and got the full version of Reason and i'd say Reason is the best for me. But theres proffesionals using everything from reason + cubase to Fruity loops + Pro tools. It's all about the bloke behind the software

[@nebishlifter]

omg! i have tried this synth so many times and every time i try, i always get this ringing sound along with it. wut am i doing wrong?

[@risingpower]

awesome tutorial. subscribing now

[@morrisfly85]

the ts404 or the 3xosc in fruityloops works similar.

[@rsgrievous10]

I like using subtractor, use waveform 10 good for subbass, apparently according to the manual. if you have cubase use the prologue synth, its a very good one to use with 3 oscillators, many filters, more waveforms than the men the whitetrash girl has slept with, a drive unit, 2 LFOs, 4 envelopes and its very easy to use. I think a good synthesizer to use from cubase if you're new to synths is the basic monologue, a good way to practise, not like the other synths with a lot of parameters.

[@Gluedroppin]

I'm looking for a free download of boom sounds, just single shot wav files I can use for the fx tracks in my mix. They are so hard to come by. Someone help please!

[@lanaisalee7288]

How can i get the beat you have so i can follow the you

[@Psicloone]

cant you use the scream low eq instead?

[@musicmashane3727]

Excellent! Thanks much for this! (Laughed at the little intro with note :p )

[@ThePhantomWozzler]

Only problem making a song with a lot of sub bass is the fact that you're probably going to showcase it on KZbin.....people will them listen to your track on a laptop or worse still, a phone.

[@spraalle]

Nice tutorial on sub bass ;)

[@mikem1k3yc]

Good Tutorial

[@GrumpyGrebo]

go to the bottom and press "loop on" next to the record button ;)

[@labanex]

Brilliant

[@themanwhofelll]

@ventadubstep press tab and link up the back wires

[@nickf1229]

GOOD JOB BRO ty for your help

[@philgood7448]

Wow indeed thers alot to learn..thnkz buddy!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@JOSMAKADO]

concertina by thor reason?

[@andyskitz]

Its all good but when you try to drop the sub lower down in key it just loses power and extreme quility

[@666_actual4]

Thank you!

[@stevelaw24]

good job homie

[@Imahaxxor]

Nice tut, 5 stars + subscription!

[@fizk]

I should've said I noticed that it got louder. Same thing for me when watching another video about Regroove shuffle,

[@MrFin11]

i like the intro, cuz it just about lined up right on the 10 seconds... :O

[@Cognac801]

GOOD INFO DUDE

[@miserymo3405]

thanks a million!

[@nebishlifter]

ok, i figured out what it was. If you turn the reso too high, it makes the ringing.

[@xXDrOPdEAdJo3yXx]

you had me at speaker-shaking

[@sadopadoman]

it helps, thnxs i perfectioned by my own based of this

[@djbigpump]

Thank you

[@merrellisepic]

couldnt we just have done a multi up down octave on 3 wave?

[@Nightincairomusic]

0:24 prinstaples? what are prinstaples?

[@djbasssick]

KILLA BASS ! YEAH !..,Nice tutorial thanks allot!

[@MattPurkis]

princesteples lol. dave you crack me up. i must make a vid for my electro bass. tiz preaty well...bassy.

[@rick1975100]

you be moving fast i be hitting rewind, pause slow down we keeping track of your cursor you dont do it all the time but i know how it is keep doing your thing love your accent
