tonight's move · 2026-09-21

Your main bass gains a wide, crunchy low-mid layer where Redux provides bite, letting you keep OTT subtle on that layer.

Two-Layer Wide Bass with Redux Instead of More OTT

any daw

◢ the move

3 steps

Load two instances of Wavetable. On the first, pick a wavetable and automate Wavetable Position slightly for movement.
Add OTT (Multiband Dynamics OTT preset) for bright metallic texture, then high‑pass to clear the low end for your sub.
On the second instance, load a different wavetable. Crank Unison Voices high and keep Detune moderate — just enough to spread, before it sounds messy. Insert Redux for high‑end crunch. Add a touch of OTT, lighter than the first layer. High‑pass to clean the lows.

why it works

Redux adds high‑frequency harmonics like OTT but from bitcrushing, so you can use less compression on the wide layer and avoid muddy buildup.
