Thanks for the compliments! All of these sounds were done within Ableton Live 9 using various plug ins. Most of the sounds are not resampled, a couple of them are.
I usually start with a Synth plug in and create a new patch or tweak an existing patch that I think sounds good. Some of the synth plugins: Massive, Synlenth1, Albino 3, SubBoomBass, etc. Massive is probably the one I use the most. This will change soon as I have an RTA studio producer station coming very soon and I can FINALLY set up all my hardware synths and monitors in a nice and easy to use space. Right now I am using just my computer and some headphones!
Once the the RTA desk shows up I'll get my Mackie HD824s set back up and be enjoying the sounds a whole lot more!
Once I have a sound I like, I'll create a midi loop anywhere from 2 bars to 8 bars and create a straight up bass line. Sometimes the bass line is just one note all the way through and other times I'll create a more "sophisticated" one with octave jumps and several notes.
Once the loop is created... the real fun starts... creating movement and "destroying/dementing" the sound! I start adding plug-ins galore and tweaking the sh!t out of them. Sauage Fattener, Camelphat3, Distortions, Filters, EQs, Saturators, compression... whatever it takes! My personal favorite filters (plug ins that is) right now are SoundToys Filterfreak 1 and 2 (really fat sounding), Tone2 BiFilter and Filterbank3 and Abletons built in Auto Filter. I just picked up some new filtering and multi effects plug ins from Schwa that sounds fantastic as well (Oligarcr and OligarcFilter).
I've never done any videos before.... but I am going to try and do a series of tutorials for some bass sounds. I am by no means an expert! I still have a lot of learning to do myself! I think I will start with a tutorial on making a sound in Massive and then follow up with turtorials for tweaking the sound and creating "movement" in Ableton Live 9.
Let me know if you have any other questions.
Take care,
