Tough Bassics
The first of our gritty bass collections was honed by Cyclick Samples. Here’s Robbie to tell us more about it…
“Roughness can also be expressed as a lack of smoothness, and the bass sounds created for this sample pack are proudly just this! Analogue amplification stages have been grossly overloaded and a variety of fuzzes and distortions employed to bring the grit, dirt and nastiness. To many ears this may be no bad thing; I loved every second of generating this sandpaper bass collection. Each of the five main bass setups has been used to create a set of loops across eight tempos and have been captured as a set of seven multisamples. The seventh multisample is a variant of the Teisco short scale bass and Mutron III. The latter’s setting were regularly switched between bassline takes and the two best were noted for multisample creation, a low-pass filter and a band-pass filter setting.”
