Sinoid fold rules! Start with color off, turn clip on, and start just dialing in 1-3db. Often, you can get something like a pseudo hard limiter effect with a tube sort of sound. The clipper chops the top giving a bit of square sound, and the sinoid saturation adds in harmonics kind of like FM. Color can help dial in specific timbres (but can also be destructive). I find the cleanest sounds balancing drive/wet values. Love your vids.

Another tip for getting more energy in the sub frequency range of a mix is taking an EQ and carving out some dBs in the 100-200 hz range. Cutting this range will give you more headroom for your sub to sit in the mix while not sacrificing the tone of your sounds in the higher/more audible freq range. If this makes your sub inaudible with small speakers, add some saturation and/or boost around 800 hz. It will make your sub audible through the added harmonics. Fun fact: Your brain can process added harmonics into determining the fundamental root note even if the root note is removed from the sound. You can also HP any track that shouldn’t have sub frequencies, but personally I like to do this when I do the mixdown in case I need more warmth in sections of a song that doesn’t have a designated sub.

Dude, just gotta say a massive big ups to these videos you're banging out. You've genuinely helped me get to a point where I'm happy with my own productions and at a point where I am comfortable sending out demos to labels again. Thanks man and keep on smashing it 💪

[@STRANJAH]

That’s amazing to hear. Keep it up!

[@Dappatron]

I'll keep you posted if I get anything signed! Thanks again man 💙

[@D1GItAL_CVTS]

I don't know why I thought it was a good idea to watch this on a phone lol

[@BigLebowlski420]

Probably bacause you couldn't wait like me XD. Now im sitting here I'm wishing I had my laptop and headphones.

[@Alamar1]

I love watching sub bass videos with earbuds.

[@0374studio]

It's ok, if you want to be sure that bass formulas is working well on a most popular speakers systems, shit (control🤓) speakers systems 🤣

[@oscarmoctezuma4320]

Reading this comment and continuing to listen to it on my phone 😅

[@Bittamin]

@@0374studio yes your song has to sound good in the funeral home and the speaker systems too!

[@brandotchi]

Thank you very much! Especially for the tip on saturation, I was struggling a little. xd

[@KarakalTukan]

Classic dubstep raw tutorial please)

[@HOLLASOUNDS]

I forget to put sub bass in sometimes but for Hiphop it's a must.

[@Klimen777]

Dark Minimal Techno tutorial please :)

[@Keef_cooks_up_beats]

Some game changing tips, simple but massive - thank you!!!

[@onray817]

Thanks for another awesome, informative video dude! Really cool to see you make some discoveries on your own in the process, that's why I love teaching - everyone learns

[@VenstaMusic]

A minor correction for 03:20. Bipolar mode set to value 20 will actually make it drop from 10 above the main value to -10 under the value. So not from 20 to -20 as you state. Big ups on all the tutorials you do Stranjah. I always feel like I either learn something or at least refresh my knowledge when I watch your vids

[@STRANJAH]

Oh thanks for the correction!!

[@michaelreddish3634]

thanks man, watch alot of tutorials, you've become a stable for me, cos you a clear communicator

[@STRANJAH]

Happy to hear that!

[@lateralshiftmusic]

I love how you got kinda distracted by the sinoid fold for a moment you were totally feeling that sound there haha, I'm gonna use that too it sounded sick!

[@lumpy-muisc]

I have been watching various channels on KZbin about music/DAW for many years. Recently came across STRANJAH and it's incredible! Accessible, understandable, interesting! I don't speak English well, but even I understand. Immediately tried to use many things and even wrote a track, it inspired me) THANK YOU! ♪♫♪

[@STRANJAH]

Amazing to hear that!

[@ohgee3752]

great video man! never thought to layer the global tuning with different LFO's

[@deafprof]

Nice one, man!

[@potsandjacks]

Abletons saturators fold is the 1 and only feature of Ableton I missed when switching to Bitwig

[@chunkusmanhunkus]

Read an interview with Billain about the sub bass in his track Autonomous. Apparently he measured the time it takes a 16" sub to settle after being displaced to see how close together he could put the sub bass hits. After reading about that, always wanted to know more about how to do sub bass so thanks for the tips!

[@dozzzzer]

Thank you, that was incredibly helpful!

[@0e0]

sinoid fold is waveshaping with a sine.....and it's a similar dsp process that is the one built into the Korg 01/w that was used a lot by the basement records crew in 92/93 for all those crazy jungle techno stabs

[@STRANJAH]

Man its such a beautiful way to waveshape, something about it like it actually sounds like its modulating the waveform like FM

[@MrZensphere]

@@STRANJAH well, it kind of is... The folded portion has a sinusoidal shape, separate from the fundamental frequency of whatever you're effecting. FM often uses sine waves at inharmonic frequencies (relative to the fundamental)

[@buzzandjim4265]

Top notch thankyou

[@skeennah1927]

Amazing stuff, I will use saturator more in different ways

[@LloydMajor]

Thanks for the class!

[@j.m.hasson254]

Dude, I love your channel

[@riddimfernandez5139]

Thanks for this, I've been using SubLab but wanted just a solid low end and I think this is great!

[@grafikwork3808]

You know the Aiaiai headphones are 😷!!! Best headphones I’ve used for production! S04 or S05? Great tutorial!!!

[@princepatootie3357]

Dude, I love your tutorials on bass manipulation and control. I wanted to ask you, I love Doja Cat's track "streets silhouette remix" The sub bass control in this track makes me drool. I would love a tutorial or some guidance on controlling low end like this. Keep up the great work. I really appreciate that you cover more advanced techniques.

[@TaiBaSs40]

Very Usefull !! Massive Thx !!

[@damiengries4983]

Thank you for sharing knowledge.

[@My_man_G_UK]

What's your way in terms of Mid/side phasing on basses/ sub?

[@hearmenow909]

Make the bottom end mono

[@jplusj6]

Hey mate, I've seen in a previous vid you used the initial audio saturation instead of abletons stock one. Do you notice a difference between the two?

[@STRANJAH]

Yes every program has a slightly different algorithm. So I would say experiment and try others. It just so happened that I chose the stock one today

[@PhillTHEMusic84]

Great video tutorial man.

[@cheesebaloni]

sinoid fold is awesome i love it

[@rtdude1]

Thank you. This was seriously good.

[@pltxmusic3938]

Really Good video! Keep up your great work! =)

[@PolymerJones]

My bass sounds good in my car with my video file, I import it to TikTok and the sub bass is lowered a loud, Instagram does it fine, does TikTok EQ their uploads ??

[@Rhekluse]

Cool tips! Cheers!

[@aidanlee8804]

Hello, Stranjah, I’m sorry, you must get 1000x production messages a day, so my apologies to add to that list. I haven’t been producing for many years, but one thing I could never understand with Sine Waves/Sub Bass, is how certain artists managed to skim so much of the unwanted frequencies, (80-100HZ

[@joeburrows7920]

Boss levels 😋

[@vladimirdiyanov1970]

Solid as always.

[@NeilDnb]

Can you do some videos using operator or synths which don't cost more than the DAW itself? It'd be good if so as these tips are always dependant on a purchase

[@nnctnlav]

stop complaining and crack it

I'm very optimistic that I will reach my goal of producing good music with the possibility of getting some signed, Thank you very much for what you are doing, i just wish you were doing this 20 years earlier lol. I'm 40 now but it is never to late

[@STRANJAH]

you're most welcome! You can do it just keep at it! If I can, most likely you can too :)

[@Benq140]

I'm not quite sure what you are saying about the notes. Are you saying that you don't want a sub to go lower than D0 i.e 36hz fundamental? I am just making a tune in A minor and my sub is A1 so 55hz, is that too high for the lowest note?

[@STRANJAH]

Use whatever works! There is no wrong answer. It depends on what key your track is being written in and how you want it to sound. If you go too low, you may not even be able to properly perceive it, depending on your monitoring setup. If it sounds good, it is good!

[@Benq140]

@@STRANJAH Thanks for coming back to me. I don't get to hear my tunes on big sound systems so was wondering if tunes didn't have much bass below 55hz whether it would still have the same impact on a big rig

[@adrianmiszczuk8061]

That's a sub on the source track, just boost your subwoofer above 10 000W power so you will get a lot of subbass when on the track is very low. This method is good but it can destroy subwoofer with walls and I don't want it.

[@STRANJAH]

Well, I was considering getting rid of my walls anyway, they're quite overrated, don't you think? But in all seriousness, it's always good to strike a balance between a booming bass and retaining the integrity of one's home and sound equipment. Thanks for looking out!

[@Danooo5391]

Sinoid Fold 👌🏼 Wandering if you could do a tutorial or how Distinkt gets such powerful short kicks... seems to be some kind of distortion (maybe Sinoid Fold 🧐) He’s more UK bass / garage, but I’m sure you’re viewers could relate and I feel I can trust you unlocking that sound! 😁🤞🏼

[@STRANJAH]

I’ll check out his stuff! thanks for the kind words!

i tottaly disagrea with d being as low as you go no no no track im working on lowest not is A go as low as feels right why have 5 string bass with b not and can drop 2 to a :)
