WIsh i had discovered this during lockdown when i had so much time to dedicate to music production. I bought a Push 2 and the Ableton Software back then and only managed mediocre loops. Early this morning i landed on your channel, followed your melody video and created a not to shabby chord pattern that i was able to scratch up into a basic track, with start, middle and end. Will be taking up your course in the New Year and thank you again for all your great content!

Hi there! Thanks so much for posting these videos. I have just taken up learning music production and finding this stuff very helpful! Is there anyway to make the rolling bass 1/16th with stock sounds in Ableton live 11?

[@iWubmusic]

Amazing. Also. Do you make your bass lines with all the added extras so you dan find proper spacing with the other tracks? Also do you use any of these baselines with the aux channel to add effects? And lastly. What bass and drum kits are these? I love the deadmau5 and Eric prydes one

[@Vancouver_1986]

Very interesting stuff! I used to be a group fitness instructor before I started having enough health issues that I had to stop. But I was naturally good at it, as I could hear the patterns & beat counts. I've been listening to EDM since 9 P.M. ('Til I Come). + 90's dance music. It was definitely fun to use it in the classes I instructed. Edit: this video is helping me understand why I've never been able to stomach Psy-Trance & have always loved more progressive and melodic trance ...borderline house. lol.

[@HoofCreaition]

Very cool. I use these kinid of patterns by just playing them on the keyboard, but it is good to know what a dotted note is, and how to choose them more carefully, instead of just stumbling on them. Thanks!

[@EDMTips]

You're welcome! 🙂

[@HoofCreaition]

@@EDMTips I really love the genuine enthusiasm you have through all of your videos. It really touches on how I experience the journey from just dabbling to actually getting a grip on what the hell you are doing. I thought I was the only one fist pumping to what I am creating and getting kind of carried away with it. But you show it is not a problem to like what you are doing in the moment. Sometimes it is so cool to discover what you created, maybe accidentally, and just liking that moment.

Hello Will. Your the man so here goes. Is it possible to warp a bass line loop which spans 1 or 2 bars that’s I.e in the scale & key of C minor at a bpm of 140 and pitch it up and down to follow the scale/key of my track/melody etc. as you would with a vst synth bass line? I can’t find a decent tutorial or info anywhere showing this? All goes Pete Tong when I try. Cheers mate. J….TCVC

Thanks, Will. As a bass player I always overly complicate my patterns and have to simplify them later. Same with drum patterns. (Just one more grace note and it will be perfect. Not.)

[@EDMTips]

You're welcome! I'm always removing notes...the fewest that's needed to convey the groove is generally the best option

[@lasearce]

I have the same mindset. I wanted to be more complicated because I thought it would make me stand out more and I felt more creative, the reality is that simple just works and helps creat flow (for me anyway) this was a great video. Thank you 🙏

Another tip is to use bass as a melody, don't always have it simply as low end. Create melodies with your basslines to really add some flair to your tracks.
