Hello all, been lurking for a while, but I didn't want to post before I read the entire 100 pages of the Mother of all Bass thread
Been making musik for many years, but have never got close to a couple of Atmos' sounds - well, never really tried, have always admired from a distance if you like.
Would anybody be able to help me with a couple of sounds I'd like to reproduce?
so at about 0:25 we have a really rough bass on the off-beat.
then throught the track there are some equally rough atmospheric leads, for instance at around 2:15
is he using a gate on those sounds?
I'm not interested in which plugin/preset to use, just some techniques I could use to create these sounds.
Thanks in advance, and thanks for all of the discussions/tips etc contained in this forum.

Hi,it sounds like there are no gates at all in this track.
And if than only slightly ,more overmasked by the dominating delays on the sounds.
But I think there are no gates here.
What he uses are reverbs and delays and nice panning in panorama ,that should be all.

Thanks for your reply time traveler. What I'm searching for is what makes the gravely sound on the leads. When I get home I'll isolate a sample of the sound I'm searching for.
I'm guessing there is something like amplitude modulation, distortion, and gating.

I think that's a kind of sawtooth on a certain low pass filter setting,with reverb and delay.Without gate.An additon of distortion is possible but not necesseary to get there.
A lower octave note does that distortion on itself.

could also be a waveshaper - if your synth has the ability to waveshape the filter/osc/amp, try that out with different depth/mix and amount
