EBM bass lines are like this tutorial: simple yet very powerful

[@Tonepusher]

haha thanks :) I use these "tricks" allll the time. I could make more advanced tutorials also. 🤔

[@gothgurlshaman4636]

Also my most favorite bands as well! Ive finally come to the point where I know Ableton well enough to begin exploring my own EBM creations, and Front 242 and Skinny Puppy are heralds in my genre of choice, which is of course EBM. ^*Assimilate^*

[@Tonepusher]

Haha hell yeah! EBM basses are the best! Addictive hehe

I don't know why I've only just found your channel, but you really know your shit Signed - An old rivethead who was wondering why there was never any more stuff like this on KZbin

[@Tonepusher]

After 20 years making that type of music, I was wondering the same thing, so I figured why not doing it hehe thanks man hehe 🤘

Actually, as I understand it the "less is more" approach of EBM can sometimes end up being way more difficult. Whatever your production skills are it all comes down to bass and drums. Yes, the bassline can contain a few different notes only but in that case you have to reaaally make them count. In any case, another great video, keep it up mate!

[@Tonepusher]

100% ... I find it way more difficult to compose minimalistic music since every sound is so ''upfront''. In this case sound design is very important! Thanks for the comment man :) 🤘
