Improving Your Approach to Bass Design

Usually I include timestamps but I want you to watch the whole thing this time. It took a bit to make this video so I really hope you guys learn something from it (it's almost 3 AM right now). Thank you for all the support so far, I appreciate everyone for following and supporting the channel. It means a lot. :)

Its so nice to see a good tutorial without an obnoxious youtube personalty and stupid memes every 2 seconds! Great job!

[@HAKOBO]

Oh gosh dont watch my other videos then xD

[@KO-iq2kv]

I love how you play the sound after you add or change a setting. Keep up the great content!!

[@HAKOBO]

Thank you!

[@WTB2482]

Super solid gems here. The bit about making a great "template patch" for all other variations to come from was insanely helpful. Never really thought about it like that, but that's a super practical way to go about making a dope sound, and then give it variety.

[@MurdaHamMer]

My favorite one yet. Ties together a lot from past things I've picked up

[@frankrobertson226]

this is the best bass design tutorial on youtube, you sir are a scholar amongst men

[@lokefinnutselv7848]

thank you ! very nice perspective =) like the idea of making patches and then go from there

[@djcj]

thx man

[@dredhok]

im a 10 year bass vet and learn something from you each time i watch

[@Exoth3rm]

Thanks for this, been using serum for years but learned some new tricks for sure :)

[@enragedboar]

Probably the best videos on this stuff I've seen out of a channel. Much appreciated man.

[@lout9231]

this is an amazing tutorial and was an amazing refresher with regards to the approach to bass design. Subbed man, great work and amazing workflow for serum.

[@HAKOBO]

Thank you!

[@ollietrees]

Nice Video! Very easy to follow. Keep it up! Thank you

[@codyr4522]

Love this showing how to approach it style tut man. Thank you so much, this is so helpful! Would love more like this

[@HAKOBO]

I'll be doing a comprehensive guide soon on a collection of neuro bass sounds! :)

[@spikemakestunes]

Hakobo you are really chill and helpful by giving such awesome tutorials and I really respect your grind. Can you teach: 1. Layering basses 2 .Sample and resampling 3. Manipulating sample Always thankful 🙏

[@HAKOBO]

Thank you for the kind words! These are great ideas for videos. You got it. :) As for being chill you should see me play CSGO. 🤣

[@spikemakestunes]

@@HAKOBO gamer rage is a must 😂

[@Italiansauseege]

I love you. You have taught me so much and ima go make you proud

[@HAKOBO]

You will do great things. I believe in you.

[@sammas533]

We lack of this kind of tutorials! Pls keep doing this "approach" tutorials

[@HAKOBO]

Will do!

[@XRXONE]

The approach videos are helpful, would love to see more . Thank you !! 🤙👏

[@Paul.......]

Excellent tut ty

[@lukeduke47]

this right here! very helpful to say the least. can't thank you enough for these tutorials. as for sound requests, I have a wide range of sounds for you to consider. Chris Lorenzo, Hatcha (specifically his older classic dubstep stuff) , and even though I'm not a huge fan of Crankdat, on his EP Mechanized Mayhem, all 3 tracks have super loud, gritty, crazy bass which, imo, would be awesome to recreate.

[@915ComMando]

Good tips, very useful & informative 👍🏼

[@delicrux]

Great video can you do a breakdown of the night bass sound like in ac slater bass inside?

[@omgwtfrofltomato]

Good stuff. Great for beginners who don't know where to start. So a thanks on behalf of beginners everywhere.

[@HAKOBO]

Hey you're welcome! Glad I could help!

[@dewpointsounds]

thanks, i felt like i hit a wall with serum, your video was very helpful and uplifting!

[@cobaltcobalt7236]

Good Video. How about the process you use when adding multiple basses together?

[@karimazzam2158]

Awesome.thank u

[@officialbammusic]

Great video I would love to see a video of your process for recreating different basses. Like different things you listen for and what steps to take. I know its not that easy, but a video called... "How to recreate any bass?" would probably be a hit

[@HAKOBO]

Recreating basses is a trap ;p

[@DanDaDannyz]

Wow Hakobo, that was another really solid tutorial! I loved this different approach to sound design, since it seems like a lot of Serum tutorials may walk through some of the different knobs/filters/LFOs but they never really talk about WHY or what they are doing, which makes it difficult to really learn from. You are quickly becoming my favorite KZbinr for music tutorials!

[@HAKOBO]

I appreciate this so much! I'm trying to record some videos on piano and music theory as well!

[@jesse.luvthang]

second that!!

[@lvlandfarm]

Thank you for the video! I will be sure to try this in my next session. Very helpful

[@kaydenzarogoza8232]

bro you have the dirtiest sounds, and its clear that how easy that is now lol. Thankyou!!

[@alexc9278]

can you please make more of this? but for leads,plucks etc? that's so helpful 🙏🏼

[@HAKOBO]

Yeah! I plan on doing some layered plucks and different lead timbres soon.

[@DJKue]

This is great! Love your approach!

[@HAKOBO]

Thank you!

[@jordanrattanavong2655]

I was literally about to buy Ableton and then I found you FL videos and its shown me I have a lot more to learn about FL before I toss it to the side. Could you make a video on how you think Ganja White Night makes their wobble basses? There are zero videos on their style and I noticed you like wobbles.

[@zapcrossworld4036]

how does taking out a bit at 200hz make room for kick and snare. Should our kicks and snares be 200 hz?

[@HAKOBO]

A lot of the boxiness normally hits between 160-200. It isn't gospel, just general guideline. I believe Skrillex talked about it in an interview once.

[@dddnos]

Hey I love your videos! They are super helpful! Can you play video on how you handle your mixer and how you mix tracks? I know I'm not using it properly or to it's full potential.

[@HAKOBO]

I will be doing a track breakdown really soon! But to be honest on most projects I an a disorganized mess so it is challenging to make good content based off things that would be much clearer when organized haha!

[@lout9231]

if you could do the same but for various types of post processing that would be dope.

[@delusionalbunny4577]

Although you said that you dont like too much highs on ur bass sounds, Im still new to sound design, but it seems like the sounds is a bit lacking of power, is it just post processing or like a phat rack whatever? To me, it sounds abit too tonal? sorry, if i am wrong, im pretty new...

[@HAKOBO]

These basses don't have any post processing. Putting an OTT and some saturation on your bass will make them sound a lot heavier. :)

[@maomallows]

would you do a sytrus tutorial about making heavy basses? im trying to utilize stock plugins.

[@HAKOBO]

Uhhhhhhhhh I can try. A lot of the concepts in here translate to Sytrus.

[@maomallows]

@@HAKOBO oh. i see.. i understand. you dont have to if it's a hassle. 👌👌👌 im not demanding you. so its all good fam.

[@Unanythang]

If you would do a neuro bass tutorial like kll smth, slug wife or keota that'd be sick. dope tutorial.

[@hunna9660]

💥

[@brickdabkowski7427]

where do we download the preset?

[@HAKOBO]

I don't know why I never posted the link. I'll get you tomorrow morning!

[@kantix3392]

music theory would be mice

[@HAKOBO]

Definitely working on it!
