How to Make Synthwave Bass in Vital

[@peterelfman]

That LFO--swap with the macros blew my mind into Pluto's orbit.

[@tubeo94]

When that ONE video make you subscribe to a channel

[@valium-fm7236]

@Dash Glitch Thanks for all these *VITAL* tutorials. I downloaded *VITAL* after watching another one of your *VITAL* uploads. Thanks for sharing your knowledge

[@jules4349]

This tracks's really nice

[@vonderau_official]

Sounds great...please do a video for a proper Acid Synth line in Vital. There are so many videos out there for serum. I think this would be very interesting for many of your followers. Greets from Frankfurt

[@TraxtasyMedia]

yeah figuring out an Acid patch is very difficult, because for Vital you can't recreate that from Serum 1:1

[@merkretro629]

So impressive.

[@MrXav360]

I think you might be my spirit animal. Your videos are so in tune with what I want to learn. Nice trick with the macro at the end!

[@TheMikaelC]

Thanks for showing some neat trix in Vital! Lovely tweak!

[@marielizysurourcq]

yes ! this is all i wanted as a starting base for a future new tune. It is like you read my mind. thanks !!

[@agreen9903]

Cool sounding track dude, I m sure there's a huge drum machine library collection on reddit, things like linn drum, I will have a look to find it again

[@briancase6180]

Thanks! It's always good to see a walk through even if it's mostly clear.

[@brodiewiddifield6677]

I'm still learning how and when to use macros, especially to save time within presets etc. and that was an awesome trick. Cheers

[@XeloX58]

Yes and what you can do is: link the mod wheel to 1 or more macro’s. That way you can record a midi track while playing live on your midi board. The midi will recognize your wheel and record that as well. (I mostly use it to change the filter settings in pads or vibrato in solo sounds) btw, aftertouch on vibrato is very nice too ! :)

[@dox1755]

Ayeee I see your room now looks 100x better with that lighting !

[@SoundDesignPresetandTricks]

Super Video they are all great

[@Alkimi]

oh yeah I remember, thanks mate. I'm just learning how to wave table now. (late bloomer)

[@fleejax]

Sidechaining in the synth is a great trick!

[@Violentic81]

This tune is awesome send the finished project to are sounds electric. Iam most certain, u will make a great impact to this culture

[@Cerialyeti]

Whoa! Awesome sound. Definitely will try these techniques out.

[@anthonymetcalf660]

Wow, I never though to use one instrument to trigger a pattern in another. I plan on performing with guitar and using LFOs and sequencing to "play" the other instruments and this just opened up a whole other world for me. Thank you!

[@GizLord]

Wait how do you do that?

[@tripixhexagonius2716]

Love you Dash ❤ you're doing great work, thanks a lot!! 🙏🏼

[@xX_dash_Xx]

awesome and to-the-point video

[@kylehowdy]

Excellent tutorial man, thank you!

[@gguitarwilly]

great stuff! Thanks a lot! If I follow this video at about one 10th of the speed, I might be able to recreate the sound.

[@aurorase7en297]

Very good, I was certainly wondering how you cast your magic. Thanks for the great content.

[@man_ok]

Many thanks for you tutorials! If you could make more videos around synthwave, ebm, post-punk, - any kind of music from "Schwarze Szene", - that will be awersome!

[@noahmotion6101]

I am grateful that I subscribed to you earlier. Thank you for another outstanding tutorial. Much appreciated. 👍

[@DjPrimeberry]

Dude, I’m mind blown!

[@winstonhulley626]

Love this one Bru!! Please do more of the synthwave genres please and please do a tutorial on the old astrix "beyond the senses" especially the bass.. where did you get the drums for this Tutorial Dash? Regards From Johannesburg! Look also at Cyberpunk Genres its very close as a blend between Psy and Synthwave

[@claudiongleur]

Thx a Ton Glad i found your Channel!

[@benasmusiclaboratory8258]

Nice warm'ish bass synth!

[@ElectricAlien577]

It would be super cool if you did a tutorial on the big bass sound from the beginning of Nation of Wusses by Infected Mushroom, in vital. I think they made it in massive, but I dont have massive lol. As well as the psy bass from Gravity Waves off of Return to The Sauce. I really like the kind of wobbly-ness of it, but am not sure how they made it.

[@joneswebs]

.... And you could set an lfo mod the macro. A great sounding bass.

[@chalbio]

sorry for the dumb question but how do you make the note keep playing after hitting one key? I made the sound in vital but the note only plays once when I hold a key. I feel like im missing something obvious but I cant for the life of me figure it out

[@floatinganarchychannel3204]

GENIUES METHOD!

[@genezisdj]

werry good sunds

[@lilDaveist]

This thumbnail. God damnit. YOu know you need to bring out a Synthwave Album for the sole purpose of reusing it as a cover? 😅

[@djdupedroso]

WHATSSS UPPPP DASHHH!!!

[@lyagva]

2:40 Why it sounds like one of the parts of "Reconfig by Shorwire"

[@MrZasori]

Hi 👋🏻 I will apreciate of you will do a série with best modular stuff for making weird stuff hehe

[@Roibsworth]

I am losing my mind trying to figure this out. How do you get vital to loop an envelope and get it to continuously go back and forth like that? I can't find anywhere that tells me how to do it. All of my envelopes just reach the end and my note just stays there. I'm probably just being reeeaaally stupid, but can someone please tell me how to fix this. Thank you

[@DashGlitch]

Change lfo envelope mode to sync or trigger

[@dubraja6469]

Hi Dash, Can you please cover U-He Diva from a Forest Psy perspective? Cheers

[@vektor451]

omg look mum its a cubase user!!! genuinely confuses me when i see a daw other than fl or ableton lmao

[@bodydevotion3500]

Awesome pads! Did you do it w vital as well? Would be really cool if you could show it in another video. Also more videos on ebm and wave would be very welcome :)

[@mjuksel]

Alt+ Click takes you to 'enter value' instantly !

[@kylehughes2523]

For some reason, my version is super weak and I can't hear it clearly. Is there any additional eq/effects you had on the channel before you started crafting it?

[@isaacjames5870]

Any place i can get the present this sounds super nice

[@DashGlitch]

my Patreon :)

[@LianExfeind]

Nice tutorial, thanks for your insights, I didn't know the phase modulation trick yet, great tip. But I still don't get one thing everybody seems to do. When you said the bass is too high in pitch, you dragged down the transpose of the main oscillator. Everybody does this but it seems a bit nuts to me because now no midi note makes sense anymore with this preset and you could have just played the correct lower note. As far as I know this function is mainly just for oscillators to vary the pitch from the other oscillators to achieve a certain sound or chord. Makes sense? Or am I wrong here and it actually does change the tone of the synth? Best regards man!

[@DashGlitch]

-12 semitones is the same result as moving the midi down 1 octave.

[@navii9685]

Can you make one about trance? Like bass line and kick tutorial, I think the genre is a bit underrated and it be pretty useful

[@DashGlitch]

I’ve made tons on my channel dude

[@EzekielCera]

Is this bass royalty free? I want to use it in my track.

[@DashGlitch]

Yes, feel free

[@Klopfgeister01]

why u share sacred knowledge? why do u demystify synth wave basses?

[@SoundDesignPresetandTricks]

Dash do you use Uhe Diva ?

[@DashGlitch]

No not really, it's nice but a bit limited, Hive2 is great though

[@louiscorbett3278]

you only know the notes of the Cm scale? What.. why... how?

[@solitajre222]

Do you have any effects on your channel? Because I follow your tutorial but mine doesn't sound like yours does?

[@azagedon]

I love how synthwave tries to imitate the 80s but nothing from the 80s sounded like that. Funny, anyway awesome tutorial thanks!

[@DashGlitch]

The DX7 sounded like it :)

[@Klopfgeister01]

wide disagreement , but you seem to know any song written in the 80s as it seems! i grew up in the 80s and i think synthwave captures the spirit very well and enhanced it, especially as we know the techniques and its very simple music.

[@Michael-fx1ls]

Not at all man I grew up in an arcade and this is the feeling now and back then
