wow that sounds dope man 
It needs further post processing, and adjustments for taste. But Iâm fairly sure thatâs how they would have gone about it. Iâd put up the patch, but thatâs not really learning anything. 
Jo in order to get the sound what do u think I should change about my patch ? Maybe i have too much resonance on the filter?
Maybe, and if your using FL that phaser has a frequecny sweep knob, turn it off so its at a static position. Next turn the Min and Max depth up to around 7-9, what ever your liking and then the feed back up to about 5-7. I like the stereo at 0 but you can adjust that and the dry wet to your liking
I like the kind of riddim sound it has. Those are the only sounds i have problems with ^^
Cool^^ donât know bout that. i donât listen to his music
@Ascenic Yeah I thought so too, but lemme tell ya. Desembra makes the best of what heâs got man o. o
Fun fact, Anime actually doesnât really know what heâs talking about. And he is also wrong with his Tweet haha. A lot of people think theyâre heading in the right direction but at the same time youâre also quite far off, try NOT listening to anyone else and looking at any elseâs tutorials. The way I learned was ignoring all the so called conventional methods, otherwise 1,000âs of us wouldâve figured it out by now wouldnât we

Yeah isnât that how the terror squad sound was made apparently?
No disrespect intended, but youâre obviously more experienced than most and have gone through all the playing around and discovering for yourself, why not share small bits of information with people? Little things like: âThink outside the boxâ could mean literally anything, this is a forum for people that are seeking to learn more, yeah thereâs a few 13 year old producers here trying to just be skrillex, but the majority are here to contribute and learn. Almost everyone knows about OTT, itâs no secret. Must DIE uses it on everything, Skrillex, Virtual Riot, Barely Alive. Youâd have to be blind to not know itâs used.
Something more specific like: âIâve always found Vocodex followed by OTT to sound goodâ, âbla bla bla in Ableton really helped take my growls to the next levelâ really goes a long way when youâre stuck in a hard place. Trying to learn and discover new things isnât funny, itâs people trying to work together to help better each other.
Am i headed the right way Decembra and or Spitfya
These are just Virtual Riot growls manâŚ
sounding good bruh 
I understand that, and itâs beyond impressive that you managed to discover how to make those sounds by yourself without outside information. However, simply because there wasnât anyone around to help guide you to the ânext levelâ, doesnât mean you canât be the one to try and help others. Youâd have to agree that a lot of the discoveries that made you think: âfuck, this sounds damn goodâ were happy accidents? And happy accidents arenât that common, itâd be why you and Spitfya are currently the people that have gotten the closest to a Skrillex growl, whilst everyone else sounds like shit. - Itâs not people wanting to directly steal yours or his sounds (well atleast thatâs not my intention) but just wanting a bit of guidance to go further.
Iâve been âproducingâ for about 4/5 years now, and the best information I could give anyone wanting to make a skrillex growl, would be to not go for some crazy sounding FM8 bass, start off with a simple sound and, use distortion, then compression, eqâing, eq modulation and then a bit of saturation. - I know from how his growls sound that he uses OTT, a bitcrusher and in the case of First of The Year, a vocoder. - But fuck, knowing this doesnât bring me any closer to the sound, I think Iâve fucked around with almost every Ableton effect and still no closer. (which btw for anyone reading, maybe an amp effect is used⌠because I got cool results)
If youâre not comfortable with sharing small things in public, maybe we could talk a bit privately? I started this thread because I want to learn, not steal. Iâd love to hear some things from you.

Making a growl itâs just a small part of a song. Iâd focus more on sound design other elements or song arrangement, thatâs what makes a great songâŚnot growls. Those are my 2 cent. Even if the man explains how he gets his growls, whatâs the point? Everyone makes growls, youâll be the next producer that makes growlsâŚand then?
Jo Like Spider said we dont even want Desembra and Spit to tell us exactly how to make theire growls we just want little tips no one has tought about befor like @Desembra in a privat message you told me the exact same thing but it would be cool if you would give an example of âthinking outside of the boxâ because damn I dont know what you mean by that ? Is bitcrushing a Voice and putting milliones of phasers on it not thinking outside the box too? Look I dont want to be rude but some small tips no one has done befor would be cool oh and btw. @Spitfiya your Growls are Massive right? How do you get them so talky? is it a certain waveform? (Maybe gentlee speech?)
That is my opinion on this! Like I said I really like Desembra and Spitâs music but some small tips wouldnt hurt anyone I hope I didnt offend anyone if so I am really sorry and I dont want to offend anyone thx

Well, I donât want to insult your intelligence or anything. But you do realise where you are right? âThe Official GROWL BASS Thread 2015â - This thread is specifically for the topic of growl basses, I donât think anyone here thinks that you can make a song just out of a good growl, thatâs not the discussion or purpose of this.

I will post a patch soon ^^
Might as well throw my own 2 cents in even though it wonât make a difference xD.
My biggest breakthroughs HAVE been discovered on my own accidentally. HOWEVER, the catalyst for the environment that allowed me to make these discoveries have been tiny tips. Small tips help me think outside of the box and inspire me to try new things. They spark ingenuity in me.

Probably most artists transpose their sounds especially growls a lot.
