The Original Growl Bass Thread (Official)

Noobie Growl 2k16

So I’ve decided that this is the year I’m gonna dive deeper into to sound design. So here’s a really shitty growl from me.

Have it me gents.

Just messed around on Serum

I think i may have found my favourite plugin for sound design, not only though

I think this is a great tutorial:

Umm…so…this all sounded a bit off…interesting but off.

The article was by The One blog and here is their Skrillex growl pack they were trying to sell. 95% of everyone here is making better growls than this.

Virtual Riot does create rather eargasm worthy growls and drones and stuff, like seriously fat ass sounds but still remaining the softness

Sup dudes. I have a few new tricks that I want to drop.

Using multiple phasers has really paid off. I am using 2-3 phasers now on the stuff that I am making these days. You can actually get a yoieee sound with two phasers setup right. I like to make a bottom end phaser that sits around 100-200hz (what ever sounds good) and then a top end phaser that sits around 500-1K hz. Automating the color is key here. I usually automate the color of the bottom from 0-50%. The top phaser can get interesting. If you automate it in reverse…so 100% -> 0% direction along with the bottom phaser going from 0-100, you can get a yoieee character to things. This is Ableton specific but on the top phaser if you put it on space mode you can get another range of interesting sounds. So between playing with the poles, the style (earth vs space), the color, dry / wet, Freq, and feedback…you can add a lot of interesting character to a growl.

The other trick is in automations themselves. I usually create a chain and map everything to one macro to make the automation simple. I used to always automate that macro the same way where I make curves that are plateau sort of shaped that would start at 0% go to 100% and then come back down to 0%. They always just sounded like “wows” If you switch up where the automations start from, where they peak, and where they end, you can get a lot of different sounds from a single patch. You can get more into “ooos” and “oooowahs” and “ooowwwws” That might be a no brainier to some but I was always making the same envelopes and always getting the same sound so it helped to get creative with the automations.
