Plugins to synthesise sub bass for thin bass & kick
🕑 Added 2024-06-29 11:54:16 +0000 UTCWell it's definitely been a bass month, hasn't it! And that's what we'll finish June with, too: bass.
As an engineer, it’s my job to make sure that many things are well in place.
One of those is sub bass. I’ve been dealing with sub bass music for 30+ years and can claim expertise there as an engineer and a producer. If the lows aren't hitting in bass music, it ain't working. Applies to all forms of modern house, DNB, etc.
I have covered this recently in terms of EQing, but there are times when EQing won’t go far enough and you have to pull out something a little more special.
I often communicate this and have the producer fix it, but if that cannot be done, it’s good to have tools like this in the toolbox!
On this video, I’m using both a third-party plugin called Lowender (I mostly use it for bass) and also Ableton Corpus (which can be great for kick lows).
If you want to try the Corpus preset yourself, here's the one I ended up using – download preset (click me!) .
Keep it subby!

Yeah the BX one is good too, with three bands. I mostly want that sine in most cases, and Lowender is great. Melda's MBassador does similar things.

Thanks for this mate! Just tried it on a Synth Bass that was mostly a Top Bass without much sub, in combination with Brainworx Subsynth + Lowender it really put in that BEEF! Lowender seemed to be perfect for just clean sub, bx_subsynth was cool for adding harmonics

Oh yes! I used to use it a lot…should dig it up again.

MBassador from Melda is amazing for this as well.
