Matt Lange demonstrates how he uses Soundtoys' Filter Freak to transform bass sounds in electronic music production. By applying a six-pole low-pass filter at 135 Hz, he achieves a subby bass reminiscent of drum and bass styles, creating depth and warmth with simplicity.
Lange adds another layer of complexity by using a custom step-sequence modulation. Syncing to tempo and using a four-pole bandpass filter, he crafts a dynamic bass line that evolves with rhythmic modulation. Pushing the input for extra overdrive and saturation adds warmth and grit, producing a rich, textured sound.
Explore these techniques to add creative movement and depth to your bass tracks, making them more engaging and sonically interesting.
