It is the farty bass :P
Usually made with two detuned sinewaves and lots of processing. Cornandbeans has posted up a tutorial about it a while back.

ok so reese's are nice dirty basses which i've been trying to make for ages but never managed and loogies fetish chocolate snack,

but i've read in a few places about Reese MX , a reese VST. I had a look on spinwarp.com and it says it being "renovated", so does anyone here have the VST and could send me the .dll ?

Hotelsinus Reese Bassline is also worth taking a look at too, IMO. It's also free ;) And I've uploaded the .dll for ReeseMX to MediaFire for you.

Yeppers, imma beta testing that.

Anyways, anything can be a reese. I once made one with a really fast kickdrum roll. Really, just mess around.

That was the advice I was always given... and I hated it. But I realized, somewhere along the line, that its the only true advice. Otherwise, just try distorting 2 detuned sawtooths.

yeah i supposed your right, im getting better at using 3xOsc lately, i've started coming up with much kooler sounding synths so ill see what i can manage on my own, but the VSTs will be a big help. I've never made proper DnB just my own wierd version of it, im a bit closer to the proper thing now

Thanken you all

Yup.

Serious? I fucking love reeses. Wait till you hear this song me and Trogdar are working on. If you don't like that, then you never will. Best reese I've ever made :')

of course, I've only really made three including the two that are in this track. All the ones I did back in garage band were pretty lame.

srry to double post, but i forgot to mention

most times when ive tried to make a reese using two saw waves one detuned, i can never get it a low enough pitch without it sounding what too distorted (if you get me)

The way signal processing works is that the lower the note, the slower it's going to play the thousands of samples that are in the sawtooth waveform. One issue might be that instead of just hitting a lower key, you make sure that the knobs for Coarse pitch are all the way to the left (Midi Value 0 if you have an external controller). The problem that 3xOsc has, in my opinion, is that it sounds too thin sometimes.

One option is resample a reese from an analog synth such as an Emu or Roland SH201 into FL. I feel that any sound that's been through analog processing seems to have a noticeably "warmer" feel to it. But sometimes you need a sound of your own.

To make a real proper reese of your own you definitely want to do some frequency splitting. I posted a tutorial on how to do this in FL and/or Cubase (the theory is essentially the same, regardless of software) on the forum a while ago, and it's located here: http://www.newgrounds.com/bbs/topic/7923 47

Method #2 will both teach you more and is more CPU-efficient. I just like my method because I usually do stuff the hard way. :)

In terms of crafting your sound, there's a plugin I like to use called Filtrator, which is pretty much a distortion plug in with an LFO built in to it, so I recommend that. Any other tube distortion plug ins are nice to have in your arsenal, just in case.

HTH.

Correction - saw waves. Two detuned sinewaves with lots of processing would give you something similar to the bass in my song "Moving On," check it out if you want, it's a cool sound. Sorry, and I know you probably meant saw waves, but I had to correct that :D

Man, I thought the same thing. Only after I learned to make what you call "proper dnb" did I notice that, you know what, who cares if it's "proper" or not? People don't (or shouldn't) judge songs on whether they're "proper" or not. If they did, then all songs would be so generic. Do what you want, it's your music. If you want to go for proper dnb, go ahead, I did, and I think i've gotten there :D I'm quite happy with it too. Because, now you can mix proper dnb and your own weird version of it to get an even more amazing sound!

its ctually ironic - rig's post in the lounge was somewhat accurate - a lot of times ngs musicians make a reese sound just like wet farting - its rather horrid actually..

At least they attempted to make one, unlike MOST of the dnb section.

You guys have no idea how good you have it. Reeses are almost impossible to make in lower end programs. I always wanted to make a good one in garage band, but I never could. Now it's like shit easy. Spoiled! You're all spoiled!

50Hz + 60HZ = one happy and confused subwoofer
if your wanting to play with reese's, i think i have a few programs for you.

Defractor,
SimSynth, and
Orangator

hopefully they should do some good. all easy to work with and free to use/download
