Getting that "deliberate clipping" sound

Post by RobbinsJ » Thu Dec 26, 2013 11:41 am

Hey guys, just a quick question:

Do any of you know how to achieve a "deliberate clipping" sound? Deliberate clipping is the best phrase I can use to sum it up, although I realise there's probably a formal term for it that I'm missing! Anyway, the sound I'm talking about is a kind of slight buzzing, primarily seems to feature on kicks and bass instruments. For an example of what I mean:

(Here for first few seconds and then again from about 1:00)


Any help on recreating this sound would be much appreciated! Cheers in advance!
