STUDIO SNAPSHOT : Layering Bass

I’ll spend a day building and recording the bass tracks for each song ….although it takes months to actually write a bass that we’re happy with.

The bass for each song is usually made up of 2-6 tracks. They are:

Sub bass: This provides the sub thump. Usually this is the SH101 low and fat. Panned centre.
Main bass: This provides the definition. Usually a single oscillator (sometimes we use 2). Goes through Mooger Fooger, Obermoog Moog filter of EMS clone. Panned centre. Frequencies below 80Hz EQed out. Often have a small amount for FM on the filter.

Stereo Pair #1: These provide the grunt. These come in and out to add dynamics. 2 oscillators each. Through the Diode filters or the Wasp clones. Lots of FM on the filter and often distorted. Panned 60% Left and Right. Frequencies below 150Hz EQed out.

STUDIO SNAPSHOT : 2 metre high drum machine…!

We’re working on a track that’s a little different. It’s built on a simple drum pattern with 2 bleepy synth sounds. The little bleeps are engineered to sound thin and crispy. The drums are pure analogue and FAT. We’ll be putting trash garage sounding punk guitars over them…we’re aiming for something sparse and rough.

There’s no “bass line”. The bass frequencies are taken up with an enormous analogue kick drum. We’re building the kick, snare, hats and other percussion using the modular.

An Envelope Generator is triggered by the GATE output from the MIDI->CV convertor. This Envelope shapes the oscillator. It’s a spike that falls to a low thud. Using either a Saw, Square or Sine radically alters the sound of the kick. Distort to taste….and we like it tasty!

We will triple stack the kick. We’ll use a distorted Sine wave kick panned centre. This will be fat and thumpy, run through a deadly Filter – most likely the Moog. Two other VCOs (with 120Hz EQed out) are panned hard Left and Right. These have a bit more tops.

STUDIO SNAPSHOT : Editing Vocals

This takes hours to make the vocals work.

We are one of the few bands who manually cut out and duck the sibilance in our vocals. We used to use auto -ducking software but it just didn’t cut it.

We painstakingly go through every vocal layer and clean them up. Here’s a few ideas for making a group sound tight:

If we have several people singing/yelling at the same time, we’ll remove the sibilance from all vocals except one….because you only need one person to produce the “ssss” in “Suck”.
