Thanks to your video I discovered that I actually write progressive trance basslines similar to funky basslines.

fantastic video! Never new how much help I had at my fingertips from Ableton and from you -- but mostly from yoou !! 😊😊

[@LNADoesAudioStuff]

So glad to hear!

[@JonathanHatcher]

I feel like the guitar and bass pack is definitely overlooked! I can get SUPER realistic bass lines. Velocity is KEY! thanks for the video:)

[@LNADoesAudioStuff]

yes totally!

[@biancacamacho9431]

Thank you so much ❤️✨I had a Blast watching this video!! (Recently I’ve been struggling a little with my midi bass lines , mainly cause I’ve never play bass in my life . My main instrument is guitar so starting to understand how bass Melodies work is a new challenge for me ). Everything was so clear & well explained, thank you so much LNA , I’ll keep practicing, have a nice day ❤🎉

[@jazzsong8566]

Always amazing. Thank you! 🔥

[@LNADoesAudioStuff]

Awesome that you liked it! ☺️

[@pk3776]

Groovey gravey baby👍❤️😘 Always top tips!

[@LNADoesAudioStuff]

Thanks! 😄

[@aiki30]

Great stuff to compose our funky bass lines, very didactic and helpfull . However, I found it sounds even better and realistic with Ample bass P plugin on the bass track ! Cheers

[@ibrawaz007]

First Time Watching your Video And im lovin it😍😍😍

[@LNADoesAudioStuff]

yay!

[@zeridium9129]

That is really killer!! Thank's a million

[@robertrobert5583]

Wow - what an excellent tutorial. Thank you for sharing this.

[@LNADoesAudioStuff]

my pleasure!

[@michaelshannon8565]

This is a great tutorial thank you. My clip editor does not show a tab to select a scale e.g. pentatonic, Could that be because I am using Live9?

[@MarcusVinicius-kq4er]

Thank you so much

[@nakshatrawadhwa]

nice intro

[@miguelangelmartin7869]

Hi, what a incredible video ! What bass vst instrument are you using ?

[@LNADoesAudioStuff]

It's the guitar and bass pack from Ableton. I show it in the beginning of the vid :)

[@heartbroken6173]

How’s this only got a couple of hundred likes? The discrimination is real!

[@mysteriousstranger9496]

Lmao XD

[@guillaumemasse1418]

Ispirant, merci.

[@TonyThomas10000]

The best way to learn funky bass is to study funky bass players: James Jamerson, Louis Johnson, Bootsy Collins, Bernard Edwards, Larry Graham. Do a search for this video on You Tube: "Louis Johnson isolated bass track".

[@RIFTHerc]

I assume you need Ableton 11 to get the Clip Scales (Minor Pentotonic etc) and all? I cannot find that on Live 10 :(

[@LNADoesAudioStuff]

yess scale function is only in 11, but you can use scale MIDI effect as well as an alternative.

[@BappyLalmonirhat]

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@MrSirGonza]

Wait a minute... Am I hearing some Last Train to London there?

[@xnaut_g]

Flea was not here but I thought of Flea.

[@tribecagirl]

i appreciate the in-depth tutorials so much, but it's not very ADD-friendly. i wish i was patient enough to sit through these :(

[@LNADoesAudioStuff]

Sorry to hear! How could I make them more ADD friendly? I am neurodiverse person so totally want to make my videos as accessible as possible! ❤️
