How to Write a Sick Bassline in Logic Pro (Even If You Don't Play Bass)

[@dubsax1668]

What is cool, is how you say you’re not very good at bass. then when you play, your bass sounds pro, & you demonstrate all the fundamentals you described. Humility is so attractive!

Awe, many thanks, friend.

[@amandaduncanmusic]

I love when the bass part goes up! It's really nice an unexpected!!!

[@MusicTheatreSoundlab]

Well thanks! I always like that sort of thing too 😏

[@louis_okay]

not only does that bassline sound super groovy, lots of movement and tonally amazing to listen to also, but the video is really useful! Setting out to write for an instrument and being guided directly by the purpose of that instrument generally is not an approach I've tried before, but I absolutely will be now, thank you :)

[@MusicTheatreSoundlab]

What a beautiful comment! I’m so glad you got something out of it. Thanks so much for letting me know, friend!

I like this Ominous Bass Line: E0 E2 E3 E4, E3 E4, E3 E4 E3 E4, A2 E4 *Repeat X17* *0 = Open String* *There are some other Tabs, but it’s take a long time to add them all*

[@MusicTheatreSoundlab]

Nice!

[@PavelLitkinBorisovich]

Nice! Good bassline indeed

[@MusicTheatreSoundlab]

Thank you!!

[@Swara_sinchana]

Ma'am thank you so much Ma'am this type of bass technic we need Ma'am....

[@MusicTheatreSoundlab]

Haha glad you liked it!

[@Koedean]

So when your doing your basslines, do you always follow the kick drum pattern? Or was that just for this example?

[@MusicTheatreSoundlab]

I usually start there. And then expand outward with more ideas after that. But it’s always a great place to start!

[@Koedean]

@@MusicTheatreSoundlab thank you.

[@bassboy8910]

I liked it when you played with the kick drum but then did some counter point things. Cool stuff and fun too. Keep it coming ⭐️ Thank you !

@5:33 sounding to me like Bowie's "Let's Dance".

[@MusicTheatreSoundlab]

Oh I could def see that. Also, love me some Bowie!

[@sekritskworl-sekrit_studios]

@@MusicTheatreSoundlab Of course. It all makes sense. You love Bowie... I have a crush on you... ...And now balance, peace, and harmony can last for our entire species if you agree to be wed. No pressure. It's just the species. ;-)

[@MusicTheatreSoundlab]

That escalated quickly 😆I’ll take it as a compliment.

[@natalyawoop4263]

Oh yeah that song's pretty much in our collective unconscious

[@sound-engineer]

We need to show her "140 bpm Trance" to observe if she can write a bassline in such a calm mood lol

[@MusicTheatreSoundlab]

[@johnviera3884]

Great ad for a $300 plug-in

[@MusicTheatreSoundlab]

LOL. I hear you, my friend. Maybe one day they’ll actually want an ad from me. Until then, just doin my thing.

[@johnviera3884]

@@MusicTheatreSoundlab you should get paid

Too much guff

[@101xaplax101]

“Fewer” notes, not “less” notes…….less money, fewer dollars…..less describes singular, fewer describes plural nouns ……get it?

[@Misterrayneal]

Really?

[@MinhPham-ly7yp]

What’s the opposite? More money… and what for dollars?
