Hi guys out there. I need some help to find a good emulated (software synth) bass sound for heavy metal. I have most of the sound engines/modules available but don't really know what to use, since this is not really my kind of music. Any suggestions???

I will check that out!  Im using trilogy atm. but I cant get that heavy bass sound of it for some reasons...//Staffay This post has been edited by Staffy: Nov 7 2009, 10:54 PM -------------------- Guitars: Ibanez AM-200, Ibanez GB-10, Fender Stratocaster Classic Player, Warmouth Custom Built, Suhr Classic Strat, Gibson Les Paul Standard 2003, Ibanez steel-string Amps: Fender Hot Rod Deluxe, Marshall JMP 2103, AER 60 Effects: BOSS DD-20, Danelectro Trans.

A common technique in heavy metal is sub drop Staffy. For that you need a synth bass emulation like the 808 or a Moog tracking the bass guitar line and then do the sub drop to get the sub sonic.

QUOTE (Neurologi @ Nov 8 2009, 12:28 PM) You are right. I only realised after I had posted. A quick search on the net verified its non-availability. A shame since there isn't really an equivalent product out there. Aaargh, just my luck! But I will try my local dealer, he seems to have the most strange stuff around...  //Staffay -------------------- Guitars: Ibanez AM-200, Ibanez GB-10, Fender Stratocaster Classic Player, Warmouth Custom Built, Suhr Classic Strat, Gibson Les Paul Standard 2003, Ibanez steel-string Amps: Fender Hot Rod Deluxe, Marshall JMP 2103, AER 60 Effects: BOSS DD-20, Danelectro Trans.

Well, EWQL have a multi instrument package called Goliath which is an array of different instruments and selections from lots of their range, including some basses from the HardCore Bass set. They're pretty decent samples, I used it myself:

It's hard to keep up!  //Staffay -------------------- Guitars: Ibanez AM-200, Ibanez GB-10, Fender Stratocaster Classic Player, Warmouth Custom Built, Suhr Classic Strat, Gibson Les Paul Standard 2003, Ibanez steel-string Amps: Fender Hot Rod Deluxe, Marshall JMP 2103, AER 60 Effects: BOSS DD-20, Danelectro Trans.

I would also suggest to render clean bass sound from trilogy and similar and then send it to a bass amp modeler like Amplitube, Guitar Rig also Mark Bass has a cool VST - http://www.markbass.it/products.php?lingua...t=5&vedi=93 . You should be able to get a cool bass sound that way.
