Kabler1 Posted January 28, 2011 Share Posted January 28, 2011 Of course there are PlugIns which are specially designed to design basses, but with Logic's ES2 you can all ready create great sounding basses for electronic or other music. If you really need an other Synth I would look for Audio Units (AU) rather tan for VST plugins. Because for Logic you need AUs. you could look here: http://www.kvraudio.com/get.php or I like Native Instruments Synths a lot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mehdi Posted January 28, 2011 Share Posted January 28, 2011 You're aware that Logic doesn't use vst's (but Audio Units) ? You probably mean software instruments. ESM/ES1 are good for basses. Any synth with a second osc with a sine wave 1 or 2 oct below can get good bass sounds (ES2 for example). 3rd party synths: personally I use Fabfilter Twin2 for everything subtractive related. Alchemy, Dcam, Poly KB2, synapse Dune are all analog sounding synths that would allow you for bassy music. It also depends on what style of music you do, for dnb and alike, ESM for ex would not fit since it only has no detune/unsion If you struggle getting a good subby sound, instead of boosting the lows, try high shelving everything above 100hz down a few db's.

Eriksimon Posted January 28, 2011 Share Posted January 28, 2011 There is no "best". Logic doesn't use VST's; they're called AU's (Audio Units) In Logic try either the ES M and/or the ES1 and/or the ES2 and/or Sculpture. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djchambinho Posted January 28, 2011 Author Share Posted January 28, 2011 Thank you all for the informations. Yes, I meant AU. I am new to Logic that is why I said VST. thank you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kabler1 Posted January 28, 2011 Share Posted January 28, 2011 There are applications to use VST-plugins in Logic. But the VST has to be for Mac os X (which, so I think, aren't that many Plugins only available in VST (for Mac os x) with no AU-version) and it doesn't always work. But this is such an application: http://www.kvraudio.com/db/vstau_manager_by_vstau Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holger Lagerfeldt Posted January 28, 2011 Share Posted January 28, 2011 A fast and easy way of getting some pretty good sounds is the reFX NeXus 2. Buy that, and some of the expansion banks, and you're off. I've used it frequently on top 10 hits. It's a rompler, not a synth - so editing is limited to amp/filter ADSR and a few other things.

Person99 Posted January 28, 2011 Share Posted January 28, 2011 Frankly you can make some great ones in Logic with the built in synths and effects. Unlike many third party synths where they have loads of onboard effects, you need to add the effects to the signal chain when using Logic synths. In addition to neXus pointed out above, Sylenth1 is used on alot of dance music. I personally like NI's Massive for gritty growling bass. As for two plug-ins specifically designed for bass, you can try Spectrasonics Trilian and Rob Papens SubBoomBass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holger Lagerfeldt Posted January 28, 2011 Share Posted January 28, 2011 Yeah, forgot the Trillian. I have that too, it's great and focuses on bass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
