Hey man, could you talk more about how you use distortion? I tend to only saturate my growls because the results I get with Ohmicide are normally really messy.

Ohh yeah sure bro.

When I make a bass I just think layer by layer and each step I think in my head what the best type of distortion I should use for that layer. The first layer I like to distort by over compressing my patch https://clyp.it/2jw1sa1a I try to think of different ways to do this but this time I just used a few OTTs and serums distortion FX https://gyazo.com/d776db95c6071941aea1f2c111787ac1
Its always fun to mess with something and use it not how its supposed to work, or use them differently. You can do everything in a different order for each bass you make but for some reason I decided to filter next and a phaser. I love using the phaser. Sometimes you can get some weird distortion from just putting a phaser with the default preset from ableton and then exporting to audio and then pitching it down. https://clyp.it/vnl2ul1g After that I did more filtering n’ stuff https://clyp.it/hjllpjqn
Then I did some final EQing and put izotope ozone on it and I got this https://clyp.it/zfnj1410 and then this https://clyp.it/uva4drnt

Hope that helps man, at first all my basses had way too much distortion and too much phasing but I seriously work on it everyday and I think its slowly getting better. I still need a lot of work so if anyone is willing to give advice I am happy to listen.

cheers man, I’ll work on it more. Right now im trying to cut down my chains to bare minimum get roughly same effect. Still gotta find a good phaser for that dank wide mod for pre distrotion. Anything youd recommend? I dont know if fuck with it more it would still fit in this https://soundcloud.com/plk4/botnek-i-see-monstas-deeper-love-plk4astera-remix

Cheers man, im glad you like it!

Ok, So I decided to completely trash my rack and start over with the new knowledge and work my way up from there. Starting off with getting the main bass first, then getting the pitch bend and vowel sound effect and I got this to start off with… https://clyp.it/ff53cmiy then I did all my processing and got something like this: https://clyp.it/l3vlpwde

I have to say the Main bass maybe a bit too harsh a thing I noticed with the Skrillex growls is that they sound a bit wet “underneath” which made me think that he may uses a really clean kind of wet bass as his main bass and gets the grittines and harshness purly trough fx
