set up a high resonance & low filter cut off on your bass synth , don't forget to compress ,you can blow speakers doing that .
you can also use a sub harmonic synth for really deep bass .

Sub-Harmonic from Reaktor is good.

In reference to Reece. I believe that is the last name of the or one of the producers that originated that ripping bass sound that dominates DnB/Jungle.

And yeah, like spiderpod said, "Really start experimenting with LPF's, Compression, and I'll add EQ." Use EQ to cut the mids and Highs out so that you can turn bass up even more.

Hi jeskola,
If you've not come across it before try Chill Pill by Alex Reece on Metalheadz. Storming track. About 95/96 I think.

enjoy

the copy of Computer Music i picked up in Hong Kong airport last week is dedicated to drum and bass music, the DVD ROM, and the magazine contents are full of tips/advice/tutorials/free software for use in your Dnb trax.

Mix some crunch deepness from Pro-53 with some whacky badness from
FM7 with some sub from Starrsynth with some with some

the Reese bassline originated from an old Detroit tune by KMS a/k/a Kevin "Reese" Saunderson called "Just Another Chance". the bass allegedly was done on a yamaha DX-100

Thanx I was not quite shure about that.

The interesting thing is the Reece sound is a very very simple affair to program. It has been somewhat mystified simply because an enormous amount of "dnb producers" appear to be a younger demographic with less extensive engineering skills then various other genres. Basically, you want to get used to routing LFO's and modulation. You can write a reece with a pair of detuned sine waves if you want.

try free vst plug 'junglist' - its jolly good for 'music containing a succession of repetitive beats'
