New Emmure vid

i also must note, the big, wobbly dubstep bass that pops in on at least one of the songs is fucking IMMENSE. it sounds really fucking evil, dirty, and almost disturbing! this is the first time i've heard dubstep thrown into metal that i actually thought FIT. it sounds fucking NASTYYYYYYY.

me likey.
 
use a sine wave for intonated notes

use a cross over between the sine wave and the bass

was that only used in the outro track, or other places in the album?

also, is it just me, or do the acacia strain and emmure have a competition on to see who can get the lowest tuning on an album?!

thanks,

I'm mixing a band that tunes to F at the moment, this comment literally just saved my life with the bass on this mix.

What I'm doing and I don't know if this is the correct technique is rolling off the first harmonic of the bass, with a HPF to about 40Hz, just because anything below that starts clashing hard with the sine wave. I'm using a soft synth to generate the sines, and its only for anything below low D (second string on the bass basically). I found I had to auto tune the bass though, something I really usually avoid doing as it sucks ass. This technique made tuning problems really apparent.
 
I think TAC are winning that one, but a good 3 semitones.

emmure's world of intulo is is 2 semitones lower than wormwood, so i think it's up to them to raise the bar!

perhaps i mean lower? aha

thanks,

the idea is to eliminate the note entirely from the original bass track, and replace it with the clean sine. you treat the original bass track like any other bass track, add grit or distortion or whatever you wanna do, even apply normal eq's like you would. then at the end of the chain, high pass the shit out of it and then low pass at the same frequency on the sine wave

Interesting...so it's like the typical sub bass/grit bass blend except the HP is set much higher and the sine wave replaces the sub bass? How to you get the sine wave to match the different note frequencies? Is it programmed using midi?
 
the sine wave trick is used anytime the bass plays a note

oh my fuck.

you certainly make a lot of work for yourself man.. (though i guess the ends justify the means) i'm curious if you use a VST synth or if you make the notes by hand and copy paste..?

knowing you, probably the latter.. aha.

thanks,
