RE: Virus Low End Good?
Here's a nice formula for bass on the Virus
that I stumbled into...set the Virus filters to
"split", voices to "twin", set the twin detune to
zero and phase to zero. Set Oscillator 1 to
saw, Osc 2 to sine and Sync the two. Set the
sub oscillator volume to about a quarter of the
way up and bring the Osc init phase up to @
20. Turn down the cutoff on filter one and the
env amount up to about 1/4, with a sharp
attack and decay on the filter.
THE BIGGEST, WARMEST BASS YOU'VE
EVER HEARD.
You really want to have low oscillators in sync
because otherwise the bass'll disappear from
time to time as the waves move in and out of
phase. Also, FX and panning will wash your
bass out and make it muddy, or overpower
your whole mix.
I'm no pro, but these are the things I sort of
learned from trial and error.
