i tried this for the first time today. i agree. low end theory ftw =D.

it seems to filter out everything but the deep end and then boosts it.
i sampled something and then chopped up the filtered bass

regarding what FX i dont really use too much...

-PITCH << can be okay to give a snare/hat a "boingy" sound

-OCTAVE << havnt used it

-CHROMATIC PS << twist knobs 1&2 while applying it to a long sounding sample.

-SUBSONIC << id rather just layer my kick with a synth i have more control of

-BPM LOOPER << i always use DJFX looper

If you can sing, octave is perfect for subsonic basslines. It not so much colors the sound but instead kind of mimics the frequency with a sine wave at lower octaves. so instead of sampling subsonic at different frequencies, you can literally 'sing' your basslines. You also have control over the ADSR; singing "ba ba ba" makes it more percussive and so on...

wow! thats amazing!!! but i think that You can get only one type of bass sound depending on Your voice. if You can change Your voice into completely different, You can get different "synth" but I can't do it that good. Melody is easy for me but I always get the same sounding bass.

Can't wait to try this tomorrow, anyone else got any other fx tips?

Somebody should scour the forums for all the secret tips and write the MFX Bible
