Any special methods of creating heavy basses?

Also if u want to add a rasselbock for some glitchiness.

High-pass and notch filter and pulv give it the main sound. The Helmholtz adds tonality, and the ott adds girth. The Chorus adds stereo.

Mess around with taking a waveform and pitching it down 2 octaves, and then taking a long, curved wave, and put it at a very low note and modulate that waveform by the other. This is good for guttral sounds. Then just add a high-pass filter, a notch filter, a phaser with a pulverasteur (just use the input, and enable only the audio in, turn the lp/hp filter mode on, and filter spacing at 10%[you will have to put in a seperate note for the pulv, though.]) Then add a helmholtz and right-click the automation nodes to turn it into a default interpolation instead of no interpolation to get a ramp. You also turn down the decay all the way down on the helmholtz. Then add an exciter and automate it DOWNWARDS, unlike the high-pass, which you automate upwards. then ott the fuck out of that shit. Then, if needed, add exciters to boost certain areas of the frequency spectrum, and low-pass it, but only if it has too much airy high-end. then ALWAYS add a chorus at the end, and turn down the spread and time all the way. also, if u want to, turn down the depth on the chorus a little bit. I made this Goofy Ahh Neuro Shit sound with this technique.

I would recommend checking out seamless's how to bass series on YouTube (https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLEC1FFC318383DAE0). He works mostly in fl studio but most of the concepts still work in Audiotool

as well as unison for more nuro type basses
-
Bandpass, double notch, and loads of compression.

Notch (band reject) is a best friend :)

Here's a little tip i found super handy! Add alot of white noise to your bases, and make it in an 0-1 octave range. IF you have the right synth that is. I always make my synths (bass) with a squarewave on osc 1 and 2.
That's atleast how i do it.
-
heavy bass = white noise + distortion + 4 sin waves

Omg this is cool as hell.

Here's an explanation of it on the Pulv: (link is only visible to registered users)

Keyboard tracking uses the pitch of incoming notes to modulate the filter's cutoff frequency, so that higher notes sound brighter and lower notes darker. When using resonance, it helps you keep it consistent no matter the pitch of the note you play. In synths where resonance reaches self-oscillation, it allows you to "play the filter" as just another oscillator.

@E-trim: Yes, I know what you mean. I sometimes use this HP filter with resonance to make kick drums more powerful. I learned about it here: (link is only visible to registered users)

Need to check out ur trick Jordi. I think i never used the keyboard tracking of the pulv. Dont know what it does :)
What i do use is resonance on a slope when i make a multiband compressor. That way u can create a louder bass by cutting bass ;) (do i make any sense?) It keeps the low end mixing more clean and less muddy
This is for a heisenberg synth btw
