The Original Growl Bass Thread (Official)

Very cool. if your using FM8 what type of waveforms are you using? also, i hear a phaser, which is common in those types of growls, but im wondering what your effects chain looks like?

Just a heads up everyone, but Omega Mode has streamed I think twice in the past two days. I was asleep both times because it’s 3 in the morning for me but maybe someone could record it and help me and others out? Supposedly he made growls with FM8 and Serum.

ur a lil growler aint ya

whatttttt no wayy I am going to look for some recordings for us.

If he does it again it’ll probably be in 6 hours based on his other streams.

Yeah sure man happy to help out. I am actually using massive on this one but I could use any other synth to make this sound because of the effects on the chain. I use a lot of filters and EQs but I think what you hear is Vocodex. I really just started messing around with massive and putting on a ton of filters and I slowly got my own sound. I think I am going to try making it again in FM8 maybe it would sound better :smiley:

I asked Omegamode in his stream if he would tell us the theory behind his growls and he said he might write a big thing about how to make them. Fingers crossed he remembers

that would be so awesome that stream was great :smiley: Did he say when he was going to do another one? If anyone didn’t see the stream check out his past broadcasts :smiley: http://www.twitch.tv/omegamode/profile/past_broadcasts

I made some growls today with Sytrus. I’m new to FM, so it may sound noob lol. Here it is: https://soundcloud.com/s3m_music/playing-around-with-sytrus

yeah I am happy that he streamed, he could have easily just stream himself making music and not showed the screen. I couldn’t believe how much he showed us.

Where’s a good place to learn EQ growls? As in the ones where the movement comes purely from EQs and not a lfo or something

I thought that this JayMac tutorial helped me out and he quotes another EQ tutorial and they both are really good :smiley:


Sounds good to me! Did you use serum for this?

Just got serum, going to post some growls tonight after work

Sick man can’t wait :smiley: You are going to love it :slight_smile:

Yeah I’ve been playing around with making my own wavetables and I’ve made some pretty interesting things…will post as soon as I get home

That growl would be good if it didn’t go for so long. Great effort.

those are some pretty filthy basses mate keep at it! nice and heavy
