The Reese Bass sits at the core of Bass Sound design in Drum & Bass, so we felt it deserves a spotlight product of its own. Mastering this technique can really upgrade your sound design skills and unlock more possibilities for you as a Drum & Bass producer. It is arguably the most audibly pleasing Bass sound, able to fill out the low end and carry a tunes vibe on its own.
With Cyclone Serum Presets, you will be able to explore a range of diverse forms that the Reese Bass can take. We aimed to create a masterclass in Reese Bass design whilst also including unique sounds featuring heavy distortion reminiscent of the classic Metalheadz sound over the years.
How Do You Make A Reese Bass?
The theory of Reese Bass sound design is simple: detune two or more waveforms to create intricate movement and phasing patterns between them and introduce a Sub to carry the tone. Texture and detail can be added through the use of bandpass or notch filtering and selective FX processing. Almost any waveform can be used as a source and the FX processing techniques are also practically limitless.
The majority of the bass presets in this product follow this core principle of Reese Bass Sound Design. For us some of the highlights include: Cyclone, Madmax, RedHorn, Kallax, Gladiator, Force, NotchKing, NotchQueen and NotchPrince.
In exploring the Metalheadz sound, it became apparent that heavy distortion was paramount to matching the iconic sounds of the label. With its roots firmly set in the 90’s, the label still carries with it overtones of the production style of the formative years for Drum & Bass to this day.
Key presets inspired by Metalheadz records include: TheShakeout, Furnace, Gladiator, Heavy Guitar, Lazerface, Headspinner, Headzup, Headvibe, XTC and TheOriginal.
