Fat Reese Bass in Massive Tutorial (free Presets & VJ Clips included)

Since our fret_1 video seems to be doing quite well on YouTube as well as Vimeo, we decided to complete the cycle by unraveling a bit of the production magic in three in-depth fret tutorials. In this first tutorial, Durk shows how to create the heavy ripping bass-line modulations as the are applied in the second half of fret_1.

Fret_1 might be a very abstract production all together, but still, the synthesis of both video and audio are kept very basic. This kind of makes it a showcase of what avarage production software has to offer, without getting lost in detail, both on an audio as on a visual level.

In this tutorial, Durk unravels the Massvie patch responsible for the heavy ripping bass-line featured in the video (also downlodable in the link mentioned earlier). Eventhough the music in fret_1 is very sound-design like, the electronic instruments which are used are perfectly capable of being applied to productions in the range of drum and bass to dubstep and hip-, as well as glitch-hop.

Stay tuned for two other fret_1 tutorials, one of which I going to be hosted by Equiloud, in which he explains how he did some of the animations featured in fret_1, and another by Leisure-B, in which he explains how to use battery and looped drum material in order to create fat but dynamic drums.

Software used for this project: Cinema 4d, Adobe After FX, Adobe Premiere, Ableton Live, NI Massive, NI FM8, NI Battery (Origami Kit), NI Electronic Instuments Fast FX

@thriceXrisen Feed me is awesome! But maybe it sounds a little more like Spor?(his other alter ego)

@DJproducerable Kevin Maurice Saunderson aka "Reese". It's the name of the guy who first did it and it's a synonymous synth for most Drum n Bass, found in Neurofunk, Darkstep, Jump-Up, and various others. Essentially, you can't really have a Drum 'n' Bass track without the Reese Bass. There are many of variations of the Reese, but they all share that one pitch distortion detune goodness that makes them stand out from other synths, allowing it to sound "full" without backup synths.

massive waste of time, but cool vid guys.

[DJproducerable]

[hueysweeney]

What do you mean by 'REESE'? Are you referring to the legend that is Kevin Saunderson?
