I haven't listened to it, but I bet its a bloody sinewave!
Always the same question with the same answer.
You chipped in just to have a dig. Not very nice of you really is it?

True that, I was wrong about the mono/stereo layer thing. By the way, what would be a good free chorus plugin for Windows?

I will try to bring something to the table now... :oops:

Blue cat does some pretty good free plugins, as does melda. Melda have a useful tuner plugin aswell.
I normally use the chorus bundled with Ableton as I find it does the job.

Would definately recommend the melda bundle. I needed an easy to read tuner in Ableton and it was the best I could find.

I think you could achieve a chorus type effect with the mono/stereo idea you had, maybe mix both ideas?

I think there is a common misconception that a warm bass means layers, when in my experience its the opposite.
The more space you have in the bass end the warmer it sounds.

i dont hear any of that stuff either.

if you're talking about the actually bass as opposed to the chords etc. it sounds like a simple sinewave sub one octave below everything else with a very long decay to me

i think the warmth youre talking about isnt coming from the bass, the bass is supporting an already warm tune.
