www.boyinaband.com - check out my site for the text version of the tutorial, as well as more Reason video tutorials!
Dave from boyinaband shows how to make a seriously bassy sub bass in Reason 4! I'll be using Thor to make this because I am scarily obsessed with it, but you can do this with any other synth that is capable of making a sine wave, such as malstrom, using the same principles I'll be discussing.
If you have a suggestion for a tutorial, comment it below my lastest weekly video blog (you can find it on my channel).
If you make anything with this effect, be sure to post it as a video response!

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 15 лет назад

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

@boyinaband 15 лет назад

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.

huh?

@juanimewu1425 6 лет назад

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

@Paspaspas12 5 лет назад

Thank you! This helped me a lot

@josephkrueger3712 4 года назад

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

@prieto21 14 лет назад

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

@iron0mike 14 лет назад

@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.

@MrArtVein 13 лет назад

@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.

@boyinaband 15 лет назад

You're welcome! :D

@iron0mike 14 лет назад

@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.

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

@dozeoneuk 14 лет назад

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

@Scottieoctive 14 лет назад

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

@Th3Jan1tor1 12 лет назад

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.

@CharlieIsLORD 11 лет назад

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.

@VaaraScript 9 лет назад

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

@Fraxxure 13 лет назад

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.

@IamGearboy 11 лет назад

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!

@agenttuna 15 лет назад

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!

@GrumpyGrebo 15 лет назад

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.

@foketesz 14 лет назад

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

@mic2016 14 лет назад

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

@BassViolator1 11 лет назад

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

@dozeoneuk 14 лет назад

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

@Dries15 15 лет назад

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

@IBreatheGrime 14 лет назад

The beginning is great.

@dave38x 15 лет назад

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

@JacobRomero 13 лет назад

Thanks for another rad and informative video Dave!

@mrmrfootballjones5216 9 лет назад

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

@EliTron1 12 лет назад

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

@andyroo7121 12 лет назад

Good Simple tutorial. Easy to understand. Keep it up

@keacebeatz 12 лет назад

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

@DMS198526 6 лет назад

Brilliant tutorial. Fast and on point.

@MrUnderdawg777 6 лет назад

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

@spynebg 13 лет назад

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

@logicprohacks 8 лет назад

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??

@migduh 15 лет назад

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

@Dilutedled 15 лет назад

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

@rsgrievous10 12 лет назад

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.

@JThirschman 14 лет назад

this is absolutely fantastic

@Woodworth19 14 лет назад

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

@dozeoneuk 14 лет назад

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

@IGroomsI 13 лет назад

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

@kobalt77 10 лет назад

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

@GrumpyGrebo 15 лет назад

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

@Lets-Drone-With-Bone 15 лет назад

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

@sound30 14 лет назад

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

@metalhelvut 11 лет назад

You should use the auto-initialize patch function.

@subject8123 7 лет назад

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

@realdanman 14 лет назад

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

@agenttuna 15 лет назад

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

@meussram 10 лет назад

Excellent vid. Thanks!

@Dasfiend23 12 лет назад

Super help, easy to follow. Smashing!

@ShaadRoq 14 лет назад

Deep and very informative. Thanks.

@Gluedroppin 12 лет назад

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!

@Goldmotherfunker 12 лет назад

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.

@MattPurkis 14 лет назад

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

@PeterKeuneVideos 13 лет назад

@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 12 лет назад

Great tutorial-- thanks for the great tip!

@MrFin11 14 лет назад

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

@morrisfly85 14 лет назад

the ts404 or the 3xosc in fruityloops works similar.

@rick1975100 12 лет назад

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

@fizk 14 лет назад

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

@philgood7448 8 лет назад

@clamoerux 13 лет назад

thumbs up if you had to replay his explanation @2:24 more than once :D

@Tokalah 11 лет назад

easy progressive stuff here thx alot !

@Pirate454 15 лет назад

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

@devalish28 14 лет назад

where did u learn about all his on reason?

@nebishlifter 12 лет назад

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?

@themanwhofelll 13 лет назад

@ventadubstep press tab and link up the back wires

@SooshiShef 11 лет назад

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

@andyskitz 14 лет назад

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

@mikem1k3yc 13 лет назад

Good Tutorial

@lanaisalee7288 11 лет назад

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

@djbigpump 8 месяцев назад

Thank you

@ThePhantomWozzler 11 лет назад

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