There are a million one tutorials on Youtube and no one comes closer to the Scary Monsters and Nice Sprites one (yes, including the Letssynthesize one, if you think that's it you are kinda deaf).

That sound is so fucked up. I wonder were Sonny learned to become a fm programing genius. You don't get there by randomly tweaking knobs because if that was the case odds are someone would have come up with it already.

Its all about how you resample, EQ, and compress your haircut.

We know the basics of it.

Since he's a really cool dude he told us in an interview:

FM8, mostly sines, automated EQ for formants. Probably automates send levels in FM8 to warp the sound before the formant effect as well.

Has anyone ever scientifically deconstructed the Skrillex bass? I assume you would lower the peaking formants that you would assume were added post FM8 and then through mathematic cleverness you would find the frequencies and their harmonics that, when run through FM synthesis, create the desired output. Even bruteforcing each possible combination until it matches a sonic fingerprint would be useful.

tl;dr let's stop dicking around and use science

Or is Skrillex bass a philosophy?

what about what this guy does, animating the eq?

the more i read everyone is saying he resamples his sounds 4 or 5 times to get the crazy talking Optimus Prime sounds
Can some shed some light on how to actually do that, bc i have no idea

and i use live 8
