Man l ain't doing that. Did you make the bass on your tr808?

Because I have a TR-808.

You don’t need a sub bass sample at all, create a sinewave, manipulate it and use that.

Only way to tell is if you told someone. Does not have a sequencer but if you won't need it, if you have the MP

I've done that along with having a click type sound as the first transient and then adjust the sustain and decay accordingly.

Then I'll load up Fabfilter Saturn as it is one of my favorite distortion plugins.

Unfortunately I signed up to be a music producer not a sound designer

Honestly, one of the dumbest things that has ever been said on this forum.

If you find layering 2 sounds together to be inconvenient, then what the f*ck are you here for?

It's good to be honest, there's lot of people whose Ego is too big, to admit that simple thing. I know plenty of music composer, who don't want to mix or spend creative time sound sculpting. It does not mean, that they do care about how the music sounds, they just rather not spend hours doing that.

It comes down to, if you're mixing, who's making the music. If you're making the music, who mastering. All you need is a team of people, who really enjoy mixing and enjoy mastering. Find that and you'll have your weight in gold. Compared to now a days, it seems like, everyone want to take credit and do everything.

This is one reason, we started the Sound Exchange on here. PM me QuickStrike and I'll invite you. I dig your sounds.

You don’t have to, it IS a pure generated sinewave from an audio editor though.

Yes, I’ve generated a sinewave, manipulated, and have used it before.
I’ve sampled my TR808 and have used those too.
Do the sub basses sound the same, almost.

Making music in general has elements of sound design in it. You may not have exclusively signed up for it but you can’t escape it and have to tackle it when needed.

Agreed, it the trickle down effect. However, I know lots of people, who end up sound designing more than composing the music. That's why I do all my sound design from between 2 am and 4 am. :lol:
