UK producer here, A very important step is missed, you apply key tracking to the filter cutoff, this lets the low notes keep really subby, while playing higher, you open up the filter slightly.

[@gymkhana707]

how can this be implemented in vital exactly?

[@xsm5525]

@@gymkhana707 easily, In fact, I can tell you a such more simple way to do this sound than on this video. Square wave, filter on, little bit of resonance, then whack the 'KEY TRK' on the filter all the way clockwise, - this is usually not enough,... go over to the bottom right and look for the 8 squares saying "note, velocity, lift, oct note, pressure, slide, stereo, random" drag the "note" one onto the filter cut-off bar and adjust the amount to taste. (I got for around 47ish) Then on the main amp envelope (env 1), just simply add a little bit of attack, this will give the higher notes that sort of (and I laugh when I say it) clarinet tone to it.

I’ll try it out!

lets be real this sounds like mario kart drill this is not a drill beat

[@CosmoGoodnick]

straight up one of the most useful tutorials I have come across

[@STRANJAH]

Thanks I’m glad you liked it! I learnt a better way to do glide after I did this video. Through note expression. I’ll do a tutorial soon or just look it up. Tons of KZbin videos on it.

[@mykdubz128]

I had zero idea that I could switch from semitones to Hz, lolllll - THANK YOU!!!! :D For the rest of it, first I thought "oh well, I did that a lot, so would I learn here" - but then you started off choosing a square wave where I would've chosen the sinus and put overdrive on it. So, I'm still learning. Thank you!

[@dionamano]

this really helped me get familiar with vital, thanks big man.

[@stevezac_cptlpnshmnt]

I like using pitch mod to slide up and down instead of writing individual notes... Gives it that wub effect instead of sounding static.

[@joeburrows7920]

Your videos are the best man!!! So much good stuff for new and time served producers! Nice one!!!

[@biggbudd8364]

Thanks for this tutorial ..great explanation of sound design

[@nebroskitheraut6705]

Definitely a more unique Drill bass! Love it mate

[@BalaFromRoitown]

Better way to make the glides in Ableton Live is to use MPE enabled instruments like Sampler and automate the pitch. That way you have more control on the lenght and the pitch of the glide.

[@mikesanders9631]

Cuz of this video I was able to dig up these sounds in a old Yamaha motif es8 keyboard they sound great thanks alot

[@AE_RECORDS]

YES! I was just wondering this! Thanks bro!

[@user-lo1rq3qe6g]

Drill producer here, and this video and most of the comments are wrong. Proper way is not by using a synth, it's with a sample. Add legato, no poly & glide. This method is used in 99% of Drill tracks.

[@riddimfernandez5139]

Great video as always buddy. Thank you.

[@joeburrows7920]

[@killervacuum]

every time i think about making a slidey bass i remember that FL slide notes dont work in 3rd party plugins and get discouraged

[@BudgieDnB]

Make the bass then bounce it into a recording, then you can use that recording as you would normally in FL :)

[@ihaar]

There is a vst called Bendy that lets you do that

[@Rzn8B58]

Aye, I use that bpm site also, I like my compression attack and release times to be in sync with the bpm. My only complaint is that it doesn't give the time in between for decimals. Nice tutorial by the way, ez way to get that pop smoke sound. I have a request for an in vital bass sound tutorial that I want to learn how to make, and it's that harmonic bass in the song "our disease tera" by breakbeat era. That sound is one of the most satisfying bass sounds still to this day to me and it would be cool to make something similar.

Do Americans and Canadians listen to UK drill and grime?

very little I imagine, the only ones that seem to look into it are the ones who just set up those 'reaction' youtube channels.

Hey Stranjah I've been struggling with ableton 10 standard for a couple of years now and I need help. I'm hoping u can point me in the right direction.

[@systemdnb214]

I’m a HUGE fan of this channel but I have to point out that Drill is a heavily American rap sub genre. Not originating from the UK but rather Chicago.

[@systemdnb214]

@Intuition I'm not seeing your point. Garage is just a shortened word so you don't have to say UKG. I've been doing this a long time man. UK drill is not a type of production, it is what you would say if a UK MC was on a Drill song. There's 0 difference in the music and this is just a Drill beat.

[@systemdnb214]

@Intuition but there is no genre called US garage. I’ll agree that Drill is terrible. I refuse to acknowledge that it needs a country name infront of it to diferénciate a beat. Drill in the US is basically war zone rap. All of its originators have been murdered. Not sure why the UK would want to get in on that.
