Heavy grooves, a long time work in progress, nearly finished!

pitch shifted guitar sweet, sounds good. Would you say the reason why this groove is so heavy is because of the bass
guitar'? bass boost around 60hz-100hz? or would you say the sub kicks are the reason why its so bassy?
 
Sorry I thought this thread had died, didn't realise there were questions! Thanks for the comments too

I'm not really a fan of the modern kick sound with lots of subs. I take a huge chunk (nearly all) subs out of my kicks but leave the "punch" frequencies in, but then take those frequencies out of the bass. So a little dip around 80-150 in the bass usually does the trick, which also means you can have the bass driven hard without getting out of control. Multiband on that frequency works a treat too!

I don't own a Bass-guitar and it would be really helpful if you could explain how you processed your "bass".
Because I think it sounds very nice, although it's only a pitch shifted guitar! :)

Yeah sure thing man. Basically shift it down 12 semitones (obviously), then just treat it like a bass! i.e. run it through whatever amp sim + impulses you usually use, coupled with a c/p onto a distorted track for more bite, bit of EQ and compression + limit and hey presto. The only thing I find you have to do to a pitch-shifted guitar that you wouldn't generally do with bass is slam it harder because it's flubbier and less consistent.

Yeah sure thing. I thought that thread had died and everyone seemed to just ignore all my help so I just deleted it :lol:
