How to get that 90s INDUSTRIAL SYNTH BASS SOUND

Today I'm showing you how to make the 90's industrial synth bass sound. If you're a music producer and want your bass to sound like Nine inch nails, early Front Line Assembly, Nitzer EBB, KMFDM, Skinny Puppy or early Front242, this is for you! This tutorial was made to make it easier for any music producer to re-create the iconic industrial bass sound from the 90s.

This is probably my favorite technique to make 90s inspired industrial bass sounds. LOVE FM synthesis hehe

Your clips are such an inspiration for me as a bedroom industrial producer. You make really cool and authentic sound seem achievable without a metric ton of expensive gear.

Great tip on the layering of analog and FM. I didn’t know that’s how Nitzer Ebb did it. I’m really glad to have an industrial focused synth guy putting out great stuff. Keep it up.

I’ve been experimenting around adding distortion but adding just a hint of it. Just enough to bring some fizziness but not so much to lose clarity. I’ve loved the FM effect added to make it sound wider. Great song too.

Yoooo, that track at the end really nailed the early 90's vibe!!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥

Love seeing Dexed in there. It’s become one of my favorites especially for creating bass sounds and every time I see you’ve released a new video I know I get excited. I’m always inspired to try something different or to look at my soft synths a little different. Keep up the good work!

Fun fact:
The album "Caustic Grip" by Front Line Assembly (where "Resist" is from) uses FM surprisingly little, it's mostly sampled Minimoog and Pro-One sounds on an Akai, sequenced on an Atari ST (I think).
"Gashed Senses and Crossfire" was the most prominent use of FM synthesis from FLA, every track is with it.

Great tutorial! Using hardware with their 2x VCOs and 1x digital OSC the Korg Prologue and Minilogue XD are a pleasure to create layered sounds like this.

I'll take the points - Plasticity! That was too easy ;)

[Tripwelleverday]

Elektron keys is the most epic synth it’s awesome to see new one coming out

VCV Rack and your midi keyboard in - play around and create your own synths. Hard as hell yes, but bad ass once you understand the flow.

This was great man! So awesome to have an Industrial centered channel that really goes in depth into the techniques used to make this kind of stuff. There really isn't a lot on this topic so even me who considers what they do to be somewhere in the industrial music genre but not fully, super helpful and interesting. Awesome channel!!

You just gave me an idea for my Roland Fantom. Thanks!

[danwentz]

Good stuff. This premise of combining digital/analog tones goes way beyond bass sound!

[SoundProtocols]

Very well done! Nice groove and mix at the end. You nailed the sound and the laid back feel. Thanks for keeping the genre going.

[elsa_turador]

I love the sound of those synth basses, good job 😎👌

Really cool tutorial well done.
+1 for the alesis drum 🥁
The bass sounds like a Genesis/mega drive synth a bit. Your tutos are gold 🥇

Always informative, always inspiring! Thanks Tonepusher
