I sampled a short ambient piece played as background music in a film. I'm trying to recreate the sound and started messing with a sine wave in Operator but got nowhere close.

Any ideas?

Here's the original sample:

So you mean the really deep subby bass sound at the start.
Yep, correcto. It starts in at about 04:00

I went back and tried both instruments and I see that I should have just kept it simple as you guys have done. I went with Operator and an attack on Osc A (the only oscillator enabled) of ~10 ms ...

The Vladislav Delay track heard at the beginning of this mix features a low-frequency bass sound that repeats intermittently. I'm wondering how I can reproduce this in Live with one of the inbuilt instruments like Analog or Operator. I've tried a bit with Analog but can't get it all that close ...

I just finished my mixdown on this one. Ambient pads blended with some beats.

It hasn't been mastered (I still don't really even know what goes into that process... which is why, when I have some stuff I really like, will let a pro do it). I mixed it for about 4-5 dB of headroom on the master ...
