Great tip, man, thanks! My annotations for bass layering were: main: 100hz a 1500hz, pluck: 300hz a 5000hz, adjust with transient designer, stereo: 300hz a 5000hz, mid/side eq, -6db mid, sub: 40hz a 100hz.

[@vakseen2618]

yo thanks for the summary my man

[@0626love]

because he used mid/side EQ to cut every freq in center, you could actually just low- and highpass first, and then use any mid/side plugin for that mid-cut part. Good free plugins for that are MSED and A1StereoControl.

[@miscellaneous1276]

You forgot To put your sub In mono.

[@RickHillMusic]

what about the bass bellow 40 hz ? 20-40 hz is also considered as sub frequencies right ? I've heard that some some producers do it to save some energy (cuz the lowest frequencies tend to eat up a lot of energy) but at the same time some audio engineers say it's better to keep em. what do you guys think ?

[@zephyr8037]

Sub should be 20/30-100 depends

[@hassangolden12]

Pure GOLD.. yes you read right. All his tutorials are gold😎💯😎

[@jrapp654]

I love that workflow, especially with the point you made at the end where you can audition different sounds to see what else might fit. Solid video 👌👌

[@lleevv1052]

Thank you. This really helped me. I've been struggling quite a lot with a bass on one of my songs. It just felt like something was missing. It doesn't anymore. I used other sounds of course but now everything works with the bass in the song . Again thank you for sharing your knowledge.

[@kijan9551]

[@lens8933]

amazing tutorial. thanks!

[@kelvinc5874]

You helped me a lot! Thanks!!!

[@abyssent]

a lot of the times when i have a stereo bass layer i like to leave the stereo cutoff with a lil more of the lowend and then reduce the mid frequencies of the low end w a low shelf so it sounds like its more like the same sound as the main bass but w some extra depth to it

[@yvesdje820]

big z the great

[@djgstefan]

Great stuff.

[@TracingFlares]

veeeery good man😊

[@DaytonaHills]

Thank you for this

[@aobaprod9918]

Very useful, thx!

[@ferez1985]

good tutorial, thanks

[@brendanevo4g]

Good man, thsnk you fot this

[@Marcelo-gv1xg]

Good stuff!

[@Symphoniics]

DEEP DONK. My favorite.

[@Cryptiiix]

Do you apply compression to all the layers afterwards to blend them?

[@jl9205]

Video suggestion: can you offer any advice on where to start mixing so that when you are done with the mix you still have sufficient Headroom for mastering? For example, where do you place your kick drum and bass to get started before layering all the higher elements on top of that? As i gain experience, I am starting my mixes quieter and quieter, but it always seems to creep up. Any advice you can offer on this topic is most welcome! Love the channel, Z. And it looks like it is really gaining momentum.

[@ginotarabotto]

Thank you Sensei

[@AlejandroGonzalez-wo5fk]

Youre a freaking professional

[@satrickpwayze]

What settings do you have up on that CLA Bass plug-in?

[@laalpanda5805]

Love it

[@Linoboy1]

Dope!👏😍🔥

[@KitKalvert]

Great video! Im a little late to the party but may I ask? Im really interested in the Buss process, the most important plugin on your chain would be the OTT, It would be great if you could disclose the general settings and purpose of the OTT; is it glue? Or Something extra too?

[@minleemusic_]

THANK YOU

[@daniele230193]

Beautiful, thanks!

[@santhiagowav]

Nice tutorial! You seem like you are baked

[@Thadnill]

Haha I was like on the first example ''Yeeaahh I like this, so this is what a layered base from Z sounds like, awesome!!'' 1 Sec later: ''So this is just one base sound''

[@ripperthecrooks6428]

okay great stuff but how do you do the first bass ;D

[@MolotFx]

Thank You!

[@emanueleciccone2200]

Awesome!

[@pianiccsmusicfactory6526]

Many thanks!

[@julianbates]

Please make a tutorial on "JLV - Look Away"

[@riktascale4]

Wow tricks man!

[@xInvinsiible]

Would love to see a remake tutorial of Flume- Take a Chance, Innerbloom (What so not remix) or Don Diablo-Survive!

[@valentinafreitas7412]

What is CLA Bass Settings?????

[@rockvalley5410]

I would pay good money for the ‘Big Z Basses’ in a preset pack! - Somehow it doesn’t sound the same when I manually try to copy the settings into my Serum patch?

[@TriadIncofficial]

Hey Big Z! Thank you for share it!! Are these presets are selling in your presets pack? Thank you! Could you tell me the names in the pack?

[@thisislucydarlyn]

Please release this serum sound set Z.!!!

[@troytang9040]

Bruh your Nexus is definitely crack I already know

[@OnlyMatthew]

Yo Z, how do you bus these? Do you bus all of the basses together, and then send that to a different bus with the kick?

[@vlad47333]

Its awesome.Your videos so usefull. Looking forward for the next video. By the way make some mastering and mixing tutorial

[@simme4u]

Maxi Smith agreed, leveling especially

[@BigZMusic]

thanks i'll make some of those soon 👌👌

[@valentinafreitas7412]

I think there is some compression on your bus 4, which is actually affecting the sound

[@MRKsound24]

what are the sends on the bass channels doing?

[@Thando1988NYC]

Would you mind posting the presets for the synths?

[@euveras]

Yeah, I liked the video.

[@cloudscape5996]

What plugin and preset were you using for that main bass sound?? I'm always using BooBass (stock FL Studio plugin), or Bass Module or DSK BassZ (some free ones) for that "main bass" sound, but I've seen people making fun of DSK Bassz idk for what reason, and some people say BooBass is bad because it's stock.. What are your suggestions?

[@NuggetTender]

great video

[@rewantsingh5864]

Those who are unlike the video's I think they all are fucking extraordinary talented personalities Hahahahaha lol All the best for your future unlikers Hey Man you are really a pro version on KZbin lots of love from INDIAN❤

[@Danielmksmusic]

tysm

[@sammyborovets3192]

what software is he using?

[@ProjectsToMansions]

We hope to work with them one day

[@nicomoreno9531]

what about between 100Hz and 120Hz?

[@Prometheus447]

Great video! But what about bus processing to compress all the basses? Is that not necessary?

[@BigZMusic]

I do compress all the basses together in a bus I just completely forgot to talk about it in this video haha sorry

[@QuangNguyen-em7xh]

Good 👍👍👍👍

[@13ounce30]

Why do you not have over 50k subs already?

[@emirunalan1287]

he might be reserving them for kick i think
