Reese bass is a common sound in drum & bass and in this tutorial I’m going to show you how to create reese bass in FL Studio using it’s native plugins.
Load 3xOsc and use the following settings:
- Oscillator 1: select saw as the oscillator shape and set the fine tune to -10 cents
- Oscillator 2: select saw as the oscillator shape as well and set the fine tun to +20 cents.
- Oscillator 3: we are not going to use osc 3, so set it’s volume to 0 %.
- Root key to C7
- FL Studio will conveniently load up the loop, pre-sliced and ready to roll. Click on the miniature piano-roll display alongside your new sample channel. This will open FL Studio’s Piano Roll. From here we can now take a closer examination of our beloved breakbeat. Trigger Playback at the default tempo of 140 BPM.
- Sidechain Compression in FL Studio Using Fruity Limiter With the first technique, we’ll use Fruity Limiter to sidechain a kick to a bass saw synth. This uses the compressor setting in the Fruity Limiter plugin to compress the bass signal when the kick is triggered.

Open the Piano Roll and create a bass melody:

This is how it sounds:
Assign the 3xOsc to a free mixer track and add these plugin effects to it’s fx slots:
Fruity Chorus. Chorus is here to ‘fatten’ the sound. Use the following settings:

Fruity Fast Dist. It’s a distortion effect to add some ‘dirt’ and ‘attitude’ to the sound. Use these settings:
Fruity Love Philter. For filter modulation. Load a preset ‘Default’ first to reset it’s setting and then use the following settings:
And here’s the envelope settings. This is just what I’m using. You can draw what kind of envelope you want:
That’s it. This is the end results:
Sounds very D&B.
I also programmed a typical D&B drum sequence and this is how the reese bass and drums sound together:
And finally, here’s the zipped FL Studio project file for this tutorial.
