Man, nothing better than when you find the tutorial that finally ties together all the other tutorials you've watched. I redid my kick and low end on my newest track based on these suggestions and am sitting in my studio dying laughing from joy. I love that I can move forward on all my future tracks and carry these easy methods with me to find what kind of sound works for what type of track. I was definitely someone who would find a "good enough" kick and bass and then spend ages adding effects and EQ'ing, only to have to come back later and redo it all again. Starting off with strong sounds is absolutely key and got me 95% of the way there before doing any EQ'ing, compression or sidechaining. I was shocked at how good it sounded with no effects on the channels. Thanks so much!

[@EDMTips]

Very true man! The power of simply using the right sounds! So happy my work was helpful!

[@DanLaDue]

When I saw the title of this in the suggestion queue I wondered “how much do I need to watch this one” and holy shit I’m glad I did thank you

[@angstrom]

When you want to pitch your kick back down from the high tuning range the quick octave shortcut is : select the pitch parameter then press shift and down. The pitch will transpose down by an octave. Press again for another octave. No need for a calculator.

[@Buzzard177]

I think Will is the entire reason why I never finish a track - every week I learn something new and then have to go back and apply these learnings.

Really enjoying these videos. Number 6 is really great. It's not something I've ever done before so keen to try it out. I've only been producing for the past 18 months, but I'm starting to understand that making your music sound better isn't about making one change; it's about implementing small changes all over, which result in an overall increase.

try reversing the "basic shapes" sine wave so that will actually be a true sine or you can just go into the wavetable editor , left click; hit clear and make your own sine wave by just turning up the very first frequncy bin as high as it goes ... you could even add some more punch to it by slightly turning up the next few bins up and play with the phase offset (the bins underneith the freq. bins to get your prefered sound. but yea... that basic shapes sine is backwards another important thing is to make sure the random knob for the oscillator is off. awesome trick though for sure! also a big thanks for showing the bark of dog plug in. im going to half to check one that out. I love subs with tons of low end. alot of times for my own mixes i wont even cut off the 20hz and just let it jam( i know thats kind frowned upon but its crazy how much a 20hz cut can change a sub)

Hi Will, good video as always! I just have a question regarding your comment at 14:10. In my notes, I have it down that the sub bass doesn't need to match the shape, because that shape quality already provided for by the mid-bass e.g sub doesn't need to be plucky because the mid is

[@hardzeeo7181]

I used to switch up on semitones just the 808. Good tip thx

[@shari_8410]

I think what is very Important too is the Mid/Side Equing especially on the Low End when it comes to the Mastering Process or in the Bass+Kick Bus , a 12dB/Oct Lowcut at arround 150-170 Hz in the Side Signal helps to clean up the Lowend aswell , important to get a Loud Mix and a Lowcut with a 24/36 dB/Oct at arround 30-40 Hz in the Mid Signal makes the Lowend a bit more Solid :) And of Course all Elements which dont are called Bass or Kick with an obligatory Lowcut anyway :)

[@dmitryshevchenko4924]

The video’s great, thanx! 1 question: why do you prefer to put the boost on the master instead of the kick-bass bus?
