The Skrillex Bass Sound

After many emails regarding this, I finally decided to have a go at recreating some of the bass lines from Skrillex’s remix of Benny Benassi’s track ‘Cinema’. Proceeding this I posted a video comparison of our versions and people seemed keen on a tutorial. So here it is! The 5 part mini-series of how I created Skrillex’s bass sound.


Please note that the version I showed in the comparison had been worked on for almost 6 hours, being slightly tweaked over that time to sound as close as possible and the version in the tutorial is simple just the essence of what I did. Tweaking the parameters shown in my tutorials slightly will yield the same result I did.


I have uploaded the project file for hardcore members of mrbillstunes.com. Download the “Skrillex Bass Sound Reproduction Project File” here


Here’s the comparison between the Skrillex version and my version. The project file in this video is the one that is downloadable in the hardcore section, not the one produced in the tutorial!
