For the more complex sound design I applied heavy compression to sine waves to turn them into square waves. To achieve the sine compression sound design, I resampled a simple sine wave. Using glue compressors soft clipping feature to add more harmonics, and then removing frequencies with an automated band pass filter to create movement. Following this I recorded it to audio and by repeating the compression and filtering until a near square wave sound had been achieved I was able to create a lot of movement in the bass (Gooch, 2015). These samples can be heard throughout “Step-Tech”, making up the main section of the bassline.
