5 Essential Bass Patterns for Underground House and Techno

[@stjepancosic9451]

Wow, thats a great video Dilby!!! Very useful stuff once again. Thanks!

[@dilbydj]

You're welcome bro ✌️

[@lorenzospojavieira3881]

''Progressive house , not that edm crap'' 😂 love it

[@shaunyg360]

This was crazy concise and helpful, pretty much covers all basses anyone could need. I definitely wouldn't mind the exact same format for a percussion video! Cheers from Scotland

[@dilbydj]

Percussion is a whole lot bigger subject man. It's a cool video idea, but I need to figure out how to make it into a 10-15min video, not a 3 month course 😂

[@dilbydj]

Glad it helped mate. And thanks for your kind words 🙏

[@JasonPriebe]

this is super-practical. I like the way you showed how to get from offbeat to groover. it's more useful to understand how to derive the bassline from another simpler bassline than it is to just show us the bassline! thanks!

[@agussanz5227]

“Progressive house, melodic techno… (not edm crap)” HAAHAHAHHA that won my subscription 😂😂😂

[@djpreal]

not edm crap means, not electronic dance music crap. Progressive house and melodic techno is edm, I think it's big room genre what u all hate.

[@ApfelSgt]

@@djprealyeah, the problem is EDM only means „electronic dance music“ so basically everything: house, techno, minimal, hardstyle etc. but when anybody talks about edm, they mean this mainstream crap like dimitri vegas, steve aoki, calvin harris and so forth. Normal people don’t know what genre this kind of music is, that’s why they call it EDM. People that are hearing house music or techno, they say exactly that. But the average guy who hears this crap music say that they hear EDM. That’s why House and Techno Guys hate it, when this kind of music is described as „EDM“ and that’s why it’s normalised to call this shit genres as EDM, even when it basically isn’t a specific genre and techno and house is described as techno and house. 🙈

[@officialknightowlz]

@@djpreal nah bro HOUSE is not edm. It’s not even all the time electronic. Inspired the whole edm genre but not edm. It’s like calling Drum and Bass Hip Hop. Hip Hop inspired Drum and Bass but is not Drum and Bass. House barely uses effects if it is electronic not like the effects driven EDM.

This may sound like a lot, but I think if you were able to show in corner of screen what shortcuts you press when doing certain things would help a lot for those who watch and want to improve their workflow. Love your videos and you're ability to explain thoroughly!

[@dilbydj]

Yeah, I agree. Unfortunately the screen recording software I use can't do this. I tried to figure a way to do it but no luck so far.

[@objectivityisourfriend9631]

"Not that EDM crap" lmfao. YES!

[@quantum_ocean]

I honestly can't make out the bass from all the other things happening in the track. Wish you soloed it. On the "Groover" loop I honestly don't hear anything lining up with the pattern you're showing. Maybe too much happening in the low end. Do yo have some delay on the bass?! maybe give the bass more character in a demo, like a saw with some harmonics. I think it's borderline sub bass in this mix

So you play all of these basslines over eachother in 1 pattern but each a different frequency range?

@@dilbydj working on hardware so will take a bit more time to construct. I usually just use the first method out of lazyness 😆

[@dilbydj]

@@RobertoVillaLobby I think the result will be a bit of a mess mate. Simple is usually better, so not sure why you would want a track with 5 basslines.

@@dilbydj yeah, obviously that was the first thing I tried. The only one I see is the “Better Basslines” project but it doesn’t contain them as seen in this video.

[@stevebedford6814]

Yeah, they haven’t become tiresome or dull, not at all . . .

[@dilbydj]

What do you recommend instead Steve? How should beginners go about understanding the fundamentals in your opinion?

[@stevebedford6814]

@@dilbydj, I’m sure coming up with new and innovative sounds is difficult . . . probably much easier to imitate the current sounds and keep churning out derivative music.

[@dilbydj]

@@stevebedford6814 That didn't really answer my question Steve. Here is another question. Can you name one OTHER activity or skill where you expect someone who is learning to innovate before they understand the foundations? Would you expect someone training to be a chef to stop regurgitating the fundamentals and start innovating before they understand the basics of their craft? Would you go to that restaurant? Obviously the answer is no, because that's not how innovation happens. It happens through practice and experience and mastering the fundamentals of something.

[@bryan4907]

“Not the EDM crap” What makes you distinguish it as ‘crap’ ?

[@dilbydj]

Because I dislike it and have no respect for it. It's an opinion... In this case, a factual opinion. 🤣

[@arjanpetersen]

which notes are you actually playing? since F3 is pretty high octave

[@dilbydj]

Not sure what you really mean, It's playing F3. Trillin is a synth focused on bass. C3-C4 is the ideal octave that it plays.

[@arjanpetersen]

@@dilbydj I mean that i see F3 as used note.

[@dilbydj]

@@arjanpetersen yeah, I understand what you meant there. But not sure why you found it so strange. The tone a synth will play from a specific note is determined mainly by the tuning of the oscillator on the synth. F3 could play a sub bas or a high string, it all depends on how the synth patch is working.

[@arjanpetersen]

@@dilbydj sure… was too quick too realize that. Great stuff anyway thanks

[@JM-co6rf]

Why did he throw shade at EDM? I'm new to the genre, what's up w that?

[@dilbydj]

Why do I have to like everything? The answer is, I don't! It's my opinion. You're entitled to yours and I'm entitled to mine. What do you consider "EDM"?

[@JM-co6rf]

​@@dilbydj I'm not trolling! I'm a songwriter who is trying to incorporate more dance things into my production, and I'm simply genuinely curious about what experienced people see as the problem with various sub genre's. It's the first time I've heard shade thrown at EDM. Although I used to hear that about trance years ago.

[@dilbydj]

@@JM-co6rf in my opinion it's cheesy, obvious, obnoxious an pretty lowest common denominator music. I also don't feel like the artists who were doing big room EDM have a lot of integrity and you can see that in the way that most of them are now doing mainstream tech house or some other flavour of the month genre. I feel that way about plenty of music, electronic or otherwise and that's the reason why I focus on music that I like and respect on my KZbin channel. The fact is that my music is less popular and less commercially viable than that type of mainstream electronic music, so maybe I'm the one who's disillusioned. But I do know what I like and that's what I chose to focus on. It's not for everyone, I get that, and as a result my channel likely will never be as big as something like "EDM Tips" and I'm fine with that. It's not snobby or elitist, everyone can do what they like and I wish them all the success in the world, it doesn't take anything away from me as I'm in my own lane. But by the other side of the coin, I don't have to like Ike what they do and I'm comfortable with sharing that opinion.

[@JM-co6rf]

@@dilbydj The thing I dislike is the DJ culture where people who didn't produce the music get the attention. There are these EDM channels where some hot 23 year old chick presses a button on her gear and you watch her livestream from her luxurious skyrise apartment, and she puts her hands in the air when the drop happens. I want to puke. As a guy that's spent 20 years writing and recording and sweating through the process, I don't understand the attention they get.

[@JM-co6rf]
