I always have an exact copy of my kick drum track playing with no audio outputs. This is used to side-chain duck the kick frequencies with. “Next I always set up a compressor on the ‘Bass Low’ channel. In this instance, I rolled off the ‘Bass Low’ channel even more so it was a super smooth sub, keeping more of the frequency spectrum in the ‘Bass High’ channel. This gives you a basic split which I can then adjust accordingly. I then copy this to ‘Bass High’ and change the setting to a high pass filter.

On ‘Bass Low’ I use a Fab Filter Pro Q2 and roll off using a low pass filter to around 100hz. I always create two channels in Cubase and label them ‘Bass Low’ and ‘Bass High.’ I then send both of these to a group channel as ‘Bass Final.’ On the initial mono audio channel that I record too I turn the stereo output off then create two sends for the new bass split channels. “Now that I had a solid backbone of a track, it was time to experiment with splitting the bass’s frequencies. I arranged the main basic 16-bar loop with the bass and drums in this manner.
Just in a way that makes you want to move. “After recording a bunch of ideas, my process is to go through the audio files and find the tightest sections and then edit them so they are rolling with the beat in a loose, head-nod sort of way. I really liked the vibe I caught so I tracked this audio live on to a mono channel in Cubase. I played a super simple line, just gliding up and down an octave, from a low D, up an octave and back again. The initial preset had a very short/fast portamento setting. “Having created the initial sound in the Moog, I started to experiment playing over a break I had rolling.
I then used the Overdrive feature to add more depth of harmonics to the sound before rolling back the cutoff even more.

The overall tone and feel of the patch sounded really fat and warm the less of the midrange I left in, so I just went for a ‘less is more’ vibe. I know from past experience that our studio sounds particularly weighty in D, so I started experimenting, playing with the filter cutoff, rolling it off so the ‘bite’ of the sound was barely audible. One day I was skipping through presets and found a bass patch that really resonated in our studio. My studio partner had bought a Moog Little Phatty mono synth, which he’d recommend I experiment with.

“After years of never being very happy with the low end in the tunes that I’d been making using software digital synths, I decided to try and experiment with creating the fundamental using a purely analog source. Check the beats, lock in your own copy here, then check Sustance breaking it all down in his own words after the jump in an eye-opening and exclusive insight into his production process.
Centered on stripped down grooves and straight-up sick basslines throughout, we thought we’d geek out a little with the man in the studio and have him hit us with an in-depth guide and discussion and of how he crafted the bassline breakdown on one of ours (and Noisia’s) favorite tunes off the EP. His most recent four-track, The Allow (It) EP for the always essential Dispatch LTD imprint, features the engineer-turned-producer in top form as each of the four tracks drop jaws with their crisp production and sonic prowess. With Prolix immediately snatching up two singles for his Trendkill Records imprint, followed by a signing to Noisia’s Invisible Recordings, the tech-driven cuts he’s capable of crafting continue to impress as heads ranging from Alix Perez to Icicle and Rockwell have pledged their allegiance to the Sustance sound. Hailing from East London and having worked for over a decade as an in-house engineer and producer in “commercial and grime studios,” it wasn’t until the past few years that Oscar Harding stepped out from behind the mixing desk and decided to put his own creative flex to work under the name Sustance.
