That's a gem tip, I also try to make the basslines and 808s first, then add the kick and rest of the drums. It's definitely easier to eq headroom in the spectrum after these factors are implemented. As a sound designer, you always need to be taking into consideration the many different devices people will be listening to the end product. Nice work!!

One thing I'd like to add on baselines is don't be afraid to keep it simple depending on the type of beat and melody you got going on. Many of my favorite songs, mostly the less melodic harder grimy trap songs, only have one or two 808 bass notes going on through the whole song. It's kind of one of those things you gotta play by ear as you're going. Usually this type of thing is best used on more aggressive stuff. Not every beat calls for a super intricate complex bassline. But at the same time some do. This melody here definitely called for a beautiful bassline and you did it well. Thanks for another great video man! Playlisting!
@NavieD3 жыл бұрын
I agree for sure! If the main loop is melodically complex, it can be a good idea to keep the bass simple. Getting balance in your beat is always going to be key

I like adding the bassline first because the kick should match the bass/808 not the other way around. The bass is where the energy comes from so find a kick that fits will make your prod way easier. Getting the overall direction back to the root note is a great tip too. I see Nick Mira doing the same with melodies to keep them transitioning cleaner. It keeps those questions and anwers closer together. Thank you for explaining placements and your theory behind it as well. You gave a what and a how.

@NavieD4 жыл бұрын
For sure, the spacing you choose between your drums will really dictate exactly what you can do with all of your other instruments. That's why I usually program minimal drums initially and fill them in after I have added the other instruments. I don't really play any instruments fluidly, how about you (other than bass)?
@tahcko31404 жыл бұрын
@@NavieD Bass guitar is my favourite, I also play guitar, keyboard and ukulele. I'm self-taught on them all although bass I did a couple of lessons like 10 or so. I got this aux cord to connect to my laptop from ebay for 20 bucks, it works and records what you play from your guitar/bass guitar, but delays half-second so it ain't really good. Although if I could, I'd buy a better one but for now I'll make do. It's really good to play from an instrument, just adds more soul so you don't have to worry about editing the computerised notes to sound human. But in the end, when playing instruments you do it in your own interest because it's fun. You don't accidentally play bass or make beats all night out of spite.

Re, your velocity changes on the acoustic bass, would you be less likely to have fluctuation in velocity when working with synthesised basslines, and working in electronic genres, as you would generally want to maintain a consistent ‘weight’ to the bottom end of the mix?

Hmm, it's hard to say. I wouldn't be opposed to having a synthesized bassline sounding more natural using velocity changes much like an acoustic bass. But this may be a case of me not wanting to color within the lines.

@NavieD4 жыл бұрын
That, to me, sounds like it would be really difficult to do well. If I did do that, I would keep each instrument playing at completely separate times. Maybe have one 808 hit at the beginning of the bar, and create a baseline fill or a short riff at the end of a bar, something like that. Trying to fuse both together at once might not be the best way of going about it

If you want the bass melody to be the lead then work on that first and add chords and stabs around it. It also can help I you play the bass in a higher register like the video states. Then transpose down once it sounds right!
