808 & Sub Bass Tips and Tricks

In this tutorial Echo Sound Works shows you how to make a 808 style kick sound as well as a sub bass that will work with multiple genres of EDM.

Making a good 808 style kick in Massive is so simple that it can actually be hard. The idea is to use a Sine wavetable and tune it really low and filter out any unwanted high frequencies. But if you did just that, your 808/sub kick sound would be very dull.

You have to find ways to dirty up the sound and make it more interesting outside of the oscillators.

Cheers
