How to make Psytrance basslines: 10 different types

[@cowbless]

E F F# and G are the most often used due to the fact that they are in a bit of a sweet spot frequency wise - around 38-50 Hz, where sub is the most powerful and deep, but is still audible, and most sound systems are able to play it back.

[@RP-vq4wd]

E is a bit too low! Astrix uses G#, G, F, F#, etc.

[@pnartg]

@@RP-vq4wd Good grief. E (and F and F# and G, and G#, etc) are not frequencies; they're pitches. Their frequency depends on what octave they're in and how the instrument or VST in question is pitched. Furthermore, the narrator said he's in F minor; the notes in F minor are F , G, A♭, B♭, C, D♭, E♭ . I can't believe how many "music producers" can't be bothered to learn music theory.

[@emdpls]

@@pnartg Since we are talking about the very low frequency bass range here there is only one relevant octave anyway, so specifying just the note is completely OK. I don't get why you're so snarky.

[@jamesboughton7841]

@@pnartg Obviously he is talking about the notes E1 = 41.20Hz, F1= 43.65Hz, F#1 = 46.25Hz and G1 = 49.00Hz.

Killer - even for people who do not use Sundog. THANKS. 🤗👊

[@fl1px]

Much appreciated. Subscribed!

[@yorzengaming]

It's also very important to have basic understanding of scales and match the bassline notes with the rest of your channels to make it sound more in tune and not dissonance (unless u specifically want to sound like that) example: if your bassline is G# make sure to use G#'s scale melodies and sound effects it will make your track sound more professional and will help you continue your track

Remove a little bit of sustain/decay to avoid that "granular yellin saturate" bass effect and make it less "flowing" and a more punchy, reduce enveloppe and you're good!

[@ambientgrove]

Sequencer is Ableton? Own or separate VST?

[@feelyoursoundHQ]

The main program is Sundog Song Studio. It generates the MIDI notes and then sends them to Ableton Live via a virtual MIDI cable. The sounds are coming from synths inside Ableton then :).

[@lordha-ha4242]

Thanks so much!

[@squishyfoxy]

Hello

[@feelyoursoundHQ]

Hi Anna, I think you are speaking of Ableton Live here (I see no other yellow points in the background ;). It is the DAW that plays back all the instruments. Sundog is connected to Ableton Live via MIDI.

[@squishyfoxy]

@@feelyoursoundHQ thnak you so so much

[@ricodelarge]

[@thealphataiger816]

Can I use LoopBe1 on Win11?

[@пенадня]

Great lesson! And an excellent channel! However, two problems arose: 1) How to correctly connect Sundog Studio to Ableton so that everything works correctly... 2) Is it possible to connect third-party (analog) synthesizers to Sundog Studio? If yes, how? Please make a video on this topic! I'm sure it will be very useful to many! Thank you for your work, buddy! I shake your hand!

[@feelyoursoundHQ]

Thank you :)!! You can find a setup guide for Ableton here: www.feelyoursound.com/sundog-with-ableton-live/. And yes, you can route the resulting MIDI notes from Sundog to an external synth. Simply set the synth as your MIDI Out Device in the Sundog settings.

[@pearlwhite3000gt]

If you could do a tutorial on how you created the bass sound in massive it would be helpful. Thanks

[@feelyoursoundHQ]

You can download the Massive preset at the bottom of this page for free: feelyoursound.com/articles/psytrance-basslines/. There is also a section about Sound Design with a link to a KZbin tutorial by another producer. I highly recommend his video, because he knows way more than me about sound design ;).

[@psylover0]

Which software is this? Can i use this in logic?

[@Geva555]

what is this vst tho?

[@feelyoursoundHQ]

The sequencer is a standalone app called Sundog Song Studio. You can send the notes from Sundog to your DAW via MIDI. More info at feelyoursound.com/sundog/ I used NI Massive to create the bass sound. You can download the patch hiere: feelyoursound.com/articles/psytrance-basslines/

[@tanmaymandal994]

Plz tell me it is use FL Studio....???

[@feelyoursoundHQ]

Yes, you can use it with FL Studio as well! You can find a guide here: www.feelyoursound.com/sundog-with-fl-studio/

[@Tiffany-sb5gy]

Sorry for this dumb question - do i need to purchase both ableton and sundog sound studio? Im having such a hard time with Ableton alone and its the software came free with the keyboard i purchased. but it looks like sundog is easier to maneuver ? Pls let me know thanks!

[@feelyoursoundHQ]

The principles also apply if you only work with Ableton Live. Sundog is a tool which is useful to write harmonic melodies and basslines easily. But you can also do this manually in Ableton Live (it usually takes more time, but in the beginning it's a good idea to learn your DAW first).

[@DWestnik77]

Very good tutorial. Any news about Root note issue in Sundog? I mean in Sundog when you using chord inversions, base note is not root note. And it makes your base wrong, especially in EDM. I have to use another plugin (BlueArp) to play root note right.

[@feelyoursoundHQ]

This feature request is still on my list (quite high), but I cannot say when it will appear in a release.

you r a hero!!

[@Phantasma999]

Nice video m8 But you guys know that is pointless saying you're in F minor since you just play the one note- that is F -, or a chromatic ascending line, like -FAF -FG#F -FF#F and so on It's neither minor or major scale. It is just the chromatic scale

[@feelyoursoundHQ]

The scale aspects become more important as soon as you add other instruments (e.g. for background and lead melodies, arps etc.). As it is very rare that a song only needs a bass and a kick, I think it makes sense to use scales even in this bassline tutorial.

[@Phantasma999]

Yes. Now that you're saying, it does makes sense.

[@Uemitay]

i wouldnt say that a offbeat bassline doesnt fit to goa trance, i mean look at the older neelix productions, one of the best psy tracks imo. i think people should not define a genre because of a particular bassline or anything.

[@feelyoursoundHQ]

Yes, offbeat basslines can be useful for psytrance as well. There's always some space to bend the "rules" here ;). However, I would say that the sixteenth-notes-basslines are sooo common in this genre, that they are a rather easy way to get "that psytrance feeling" going. There are many aspects that shape a genre (e.g. sound design, scales, arrangement). Sticking to the rules in some of these aspects make it easier to act more freely in other aspects - without leaving the genre.
