When creating Dubstep music, one of the most important
instruments is the bass. A lot of Dubstep songs have a wobble
bass. This is basically a bass with a filter being modulated in
a rhythmic sync with the tempo. Most often you will hear
triplets and 8th notes being modulated by an LFO on the filter.
In this tutorial, we will cover how to create a bass sound and
add the ‘Wobble’ effect in the Subtractor device within Reason.
First create a new project in Reason then add the following
devices from the tool window: - 1. MClass Mastering Suite
Combinator - 2. Mixer 14:2 - 3. Subtractor Analog Synthesizer
You can hide the Mastering Suite and Mixer, as we won’t need
them, by clicking the arrow in the top left of each device. Now
we need to initialize the patch. (This clears out the default
sound) Right click anywhere on the Subtractor and choose:
Initialize Patch. Now we can start to create our bass sound.
