I have watched about 200 serum videos and tutorials and today I finally learned how to use it, and then i stumble upon your video and everything ive been watching for the past 3 months clicked at once. Its game time baby.

[@zombieray]

Make a Bob Ross style episode, call it the Joy of SoundScaping

[@SUBCHVRGE]

yes please do this lmao

[@senaryan94]

Happy little wubs

[@isaac10231]

That's an amazing name wow.

[@MrMmdbeats]

This video literally made me not even go in the studio for 3 days and just make sounds in my room

[@craigbikes8831]

I have the Yamaha Reface CS synth, and I did the exact same thing you just described. Usually I use it as a midi controller, but once I learned how to use the LFO I sat there for three days without even turning on my computer

[@ABUNDANCEandBEYONDATHLETE]

I have some roli seaboard rise 25 and some blocks and another keyboard. Maybe I can make some sick bass vibes with the MPE midi interface. (Multi-Polyphonic-Expression)

[@cheyjordann]

you're honestly a legend thank you so much!! this helped me make my first track.

[@sp4zz7ic-Official]

I just want to thank you from the bottom of my heart. I just dream of making wubs and I've been producing for awhile now.. I just love the way you teach its very helpful to understand what is going on and there are thousands of tutorials but your love to us makes the dif. You care. And I just hope to make some wubs that make you head bang as well

[@artificialmario]

Double this.

[@jt4eva]

Ahee out here with the Coronavirus type beats.

[@xWUND3RWAFFL3x]

AHEE THANKYOU!! You make THE best tutorials for bass music on youtube!

[@stephsworld7772]

u just changed everything for me

[@Sargassian]

heh, i did was instructed in the vid and the end result was actually the sound they use in the Blade movies. awesome

[@Action2me]

Thank you so much for this. Been looking for this for an hour. Every tutorial is only focused on growl bass but not that smooth harmonic womp.

[@rhozu]

Another great video, once again! Thanks AHEE!

[@BeatsByTor]

Sick, you definitely took a classic sound to a deeper level on this video. Big ups Ahee!

[@jdubya5187]

That laser vision in the outro drop, tho!

[@715keeks2]

this just changed the game for me! thanks for making this

[@d0min084]

[@Kitkatnelly]

Thank you not to complicated very easy to understand as a beginner

[@sweetboiofficial3712]

Hey Ahee -- I have a tutorial request / suggestion for you -- goes full circle with your routing template and best mixing advise video Separation of Sub Bass from Bass / Guide to choosing crossover point (Hz) and Means of separating the frequencies (EQ / MultiBand / ect) Choosing Frequency for cross over point - key of the track relevant? - any sort of visual indicators to help assure best choice of frequency? (ex. mixing advice with span) Means of Separation -using an EQ 8 -- if so -- type of slope (x4 cut of regular cut) -multiband dynamics ? Application to your routing template - I noticed that you put a low cut at 120 on you basic chain -should that be mirrored with a low cut on the hype chain for the sub? - If not, is there a reason that it is beneficial to have overlapping frequencies in the seperation? Other related - would this same cross over point typically be the same that you use for "bass mono" on utility? - Main concern is with sub to bass but any other useful application to other areas of the frequency specturm? ** These videos are highly appreciated. Never experienced as much personal growth until I started implementing these techniques / tips Thanks man!

[@grizcuz]

There's lots of videos on KZbin covering these types of topics. There's not many hard and fast rules though, a lot depends on the track. So you can't really say: do X,Y and Z and it will always sound good. I'd say, reference tracks in the style and genre that you're producing. Use analysis tools in your DAW whilst listening to them to see where everything is kind of sitting on the spectrum. There's different rudimentary guidelines depending on the type of music. Stuff with a 4\4 beat: mix to the kick, that has to stand out most. D&B/Jungle uses less weighty kicks and the bassline is more prominent. It's the choice of sounds/samples as much as it is mixing them too. Better getting sounds that work well together from the start, rather than trying to mess about with competing sounds/frequencies in the mix.

[@joemurray5506]

Thank you you saved me from buying another vst when I already had serum thank you again

[@bennguyen4409]

Exactly what I've been searching for. Thank you! 🔥

[@sleepinghope364]

Hey Ahee, could you please do a video explaning how the fab filter l2 works please?, i have watched allot of videos but they never explain well what the atack, release,''channel linking'' transient and release knobs do and how to set them. in my case a video like that would help me really alot🙏🙏🙏

[@OfficialAHEE]

Hey I could do that, but honestly I don't mess with any of those settings for my own music I just use the default settings and have "Layers" of them. I describe this technique that Skrillex uses in a couple of my other videos.

[@JRyMeRr]

Ok so your the only video ive found in months that covers the wobbles im sort of looking for maybe you could make an add on for how to make same idea but older like tsimba hugo or blunts and blonds that lighter lead rez womps idk appreicated

[@micmutil8r]

I had been looking for something like this for a while!! Thanks!

[@Lightotronic]

MASTERY. huge respect.

[@swingsetsounds7983]

i love your tuts. they are straight to the point and easy to comprehend. I always suggest your racks to friends just getting into the game and looking for advise.

[@jtnova]

You rock Ahee! This filled in a-lot for me.. Time to womp it up.

[@jaredproctor4646]

[@superamimo4653]

Soooooo helpful!!!!!!!!!Thank you so much!!!!!!!!!!!!1

[@notrandom8]

Thanks mane👾

[@0Human1]

Love the video! On the topic of compression removing the dynamics...is the only option to remove compression? or can you apply a series of distortion/compression/post processing to add compression and keep the dynamics? or does that not even make sense in your mind?! Also like your music man, Splattermouth is so good!

[@ambermurray4481]

Thanks man!!!!!!!!

[@VinylSamuraisMusic]

You just shown me a huge help in my sound design and simply for that I’m gonna buy your racks at the end of the month. I don’t even need them all at the min but I’ll always back the guy putting the work in. Thanks bro you shown me something that’s gonna help massively with FM. Curious question if you don’t mind helping. With regards to the percentage numbers this will apply to all tempos correct? This wouldn’t alter its 175bpm would it cos it’s just the speed of the bpm. No of course it would be the same right ? If you have any other tips along the lines like that for FM if he massively grateful.

[@codyr4522]

So helpful, thank you so much!

[@schmittyhummwell7772]

Im looking for wub's without plugs..? (ableton 10 software only). Can't find any videos on that..everything is dated..

[@gNatMusic]

Hey AHEE!...how come my wobble doesn’t sound anything like yours at 1:30 even though I’m 100% sure I’ve followed exactly what you did step for step? Is there any processing done that I’m not aware of? The only difference I can tell between us is I’m on FL instead of Ableton

[@skrillexboostedz250]

this is what i came to the comments for im using fl studios too and im having the same issue :/

[@lunatic.101]

Eyo man nice tutorial but can u do ableton wavetable edition

[@dmitriyalexandrof2599]

Мира тебе!!🤝

[@Jay.woogod]

what key are you using? i couldnt get pass 1:30 T-T

[@dinobosecreativity]

yo ... did you attend those producer's socials in LA?

[@OfficialAHEE]

Andromeda ICG yes tho I haven’t been in a long time, the organizers are all friends of mine

[@dinobosecreativity]

@@OfficialAHEE ...nice, yea I've known Stephan for a long time and Mark from the events. I live in Prague now so I haven't been for a couple years. Do you know Stephen? He did a bass remix of one of my tunes

[@skylanfolsom9533]

HI! someone please help! I am EXTREMELY new to Ableton and Serum, I followed exactly what you did but no sound came out when I hit the space bar. is it because you have to already have an original sound behind it that you're distorting? If so, how do I do that? I've been watching hours of KZbin videos on Abelton and Serum, but I can't quite figure it out. Like I said I followed what you did exactly, so am I missing a step you did before doing this? any time I try to drop an audio into Ableton on the serum line that i want to distort it wont let me. someone please give me some tips or extremely begginer videos that i can watch :) thank you

[@delphidesigns]

That outro track tho

[@nacnudselrahc420]

Love it! The only thing I would like is to thicken it up as sine waves are kind of hard to hear, I want my wubs to slap

[@nc818]

Try a little bit of distortion or a comb like filter with a little bit of over drive and mess with the LFO shapes. Reverb on wubs is a must

[@elvisjaggerabduljabbar5750]

what is the difference between Wobble bass ?

[@MaxxTypo]

serious question, what software is this? (i need help lol)

[@MONEYMINDSET-ENTERTAINMENT]

H Ahee, thanks for this nice tutorial. I was thinking about to buy your dope magic racks, but the price was a bit high for me (I´m a student) and 79 bucks is like a punsh in my face, to be honest. Please make discounts for students or at least give us a chance to buy your items during sales times (.e.g. summer sales?)

[@rickachumusic]

Dude, you're a fucking awesome individual. Thank you for everything you do ❤️

[@justinkoenig6026]

Itd be really nice if youd share the shortcuts youre using to do stuff such as inverting the reverb so that way us less knowledgeable people can actually learn something from this video Cuz boy, have i been google searching how to do it for hours now with no luck whatsoever

[@nc818]

Turn the knob up all the way that you want to invert and use the LFO to modulate it all the way down. Or you can make another LFO shape to do this more precisely

[@killianhalpin6393]

Fuck yeah! Thanks, man!!! Much love

[@tiorr_8275]

What key do you hold down to preview your sound? I don't have a midi keyboard

[@christianvillalobos9016]

You are a dope ass dude.

[@LaphobaOfficial]

love this tutorial....perfectly excicuted

[@rich_pandadsr82]

is there anyway i could do this on logic pro?

EZ! thx

new sub!

[@alejandromamanimaquera6335]

Oe bro esta buenazo, siempre quise saber co.o se hacía ese bajo :,v

[@nagendranayak5010]

why are you still stuck in Ableton live 9, any reason apart from delay?

[@OfficialAHEE]

I don't like 10 ;) I'm about %30 faster in 9, and speed counts. You'd be surprised by the number of producer friends who come over to work on tunes with me then realize they like 9 more as well. (internal sigh) I still have 10 tho for when I need it.

[@nagendranayak5010]

Official AHEE i really liked you way to approaching music, & I was thinking of purchasing ur racks but I wanted all of them. There are 2 packs so. Which one is good,can’t I get all of them?

[@nagendranayak5010]

Official AHEE can you make a video on music theory & when,how & where we can break it to get better result.

[@OfficialAHEE]

@@nagendranayak5010 There are actually 3 different rack packs, "Magic Ableton Racks, Magic Ableton Rack Add-Ons, & Magic Ableton Racks Vol. 2" I've been using all of them in my own productions, especially the "Magic Box", "Sidechain Reverb", & the new "Magic Drum Shaper". They are all on here: gumroad.com/ahee Hope that helps :)

[@OfficialAHEE]

@@nagendranayak5010 Yeah been thinking of doing music theory tuts, there are just so many others, but I guess I have my own unique way of teaching, so may go for it.

Dude! You nailed this tutorial, super helpful. So many tutorials go for hours and aren't as helpful as this short tutorial.

[@andreilemieux9525]

im so happy i found your help channel :D thanks for all the videos.... i need your help though im a reason user that has gone ableton. i use both together. and for the life of me i can't find out how to retrigger the envelopes. in serum make a basic bass patch using a square. enable and load a LP filter drag env.3 to the filter. make a no sustain and decay about 700 ms set the voice mode to MONO. don't press legato. notice how when you play legato style notes the envelopes retrigger. why can't you do this using ableton's wavetable, operator, or any stock synths????? what am i missing.

[@AmberCummings-u2j]

you are my new teacher now... thanks man. your lost lands set was killer btw!!!!

So sick man, used this tutorial to create the wubs in this remix! Keep it up! soundcloud.com/avello_music/griz-the-baddest

Make this preset with a keyboard midi controller with the LFO rate linked to the mod wheel you’ll never be the same

I copy what you do step by step precisely and still get a completely different sound than yours :/ what could that be?
