Hey guys, Was wondering how axwell made this bass that starts around 0:45. In particular, which waves were used and how did he get his bass to sound so fat, but not too low and gritty.

Sounds very good! How did you manage to get it to that state and what waves did you use?

It's filtered saw wave with EQ and multiband compression

Did you layer the bassdrum?

The bassline sounds great!!

yea the bassdrum and bassline are both dope, but i can't seem to re-create the bass sound using a saw wave and filtering it and then compressing it with a multiband compressor. Did you use parallel compression to make it stand out more?

well, here is my attempt at the kick. Does it have too much sub bass? let me know your thoughts plz. i'll try to recreate the bass and post it up too.

ya i think to much sub here. Also this isnt as punchy, seems kind of "loose" more like a trance kick in my opinion. The axwell one has such punch to it

Ya i thought it was too much sub, should i bring the volume of it down or put the release of the sub down? Also, for the punch, i exported it to mp3, and then soundcloud did it's own coloring to the sound as well, so it really got screwed up after that lol.

the kick axwell uses is just an vengeance sample!

he uses it in a lot of productions also the SHM productions..

but i am more looking for that bass sound! how do you make it ?

i can guarantee you axwell is not simply picking a vengeance sample

i would do both to be honest, lower it, and tighten up the decay a bit as well. How hard is it compressed? im sure axwell has his kicks compressed a ton to give them that energy
