Vital BASS Sound Design: 808s, Plucks, Growls and Sub Bass

This video tutorial will introduce 4 bass sounds - the Sub Sine, 808, Pluck and Growl Bass.
Be sure to use headphones or studio monitors so that you can hear the low end in this video. You might find that the bass you create sounds much more full than in this video as KZbin audio processing is sometimes not very good!

And your teachings help me to growing a lot. Whatever i knew today about mixing and mastering. It's because of you brother. I'm a singer, song writer and i love making songs . Because of lacking money i can't record my songs from local professional studios, I do have i3 processor shitty pc in my house, it slow and crash some time but some how i patiently making my songs . In future if i earning money from my songs , tbh i really donates u money for teaching me. But pls never stop making videos. U don't know how much your video's are helping other like me. Love from India ❤️. And again thank you for helping us.🙏

Fine by me, Mike, especially if they're going to be as valuable as this one! Recently downloaded Vital & Hybrid and could tell Vital was going to be better for bass sounds so this is perfectly timed!

[@OznerpaGMusiC]

Quality > Quantity - you never disappoint!

[@sinfonik13]

It's nice to finally see some producers explaining "why" you do the things and not just "how" to do the things. Kudos.

[@redautumn5441]

exactly. i see producers eq’ing low end out of instruments all the time but they never explain why they do it and how it helps the overall mix, so frustrating.

[@THEspindoctor84]

I just downloaded Vital, and this channel is incredibly helpful. You're videos are VERY high quality. I particularly appreciate that you show how one parameter can change the sound by moving it back and forth before you settle on a value.

Awesome basics tutorial. I really like your clean, calm and to-the-point style. Thanks for covering Vital! It's not only free but also open-source now :)

[@4200Shields]

Excellent video! I appreciate people like you, to take the time to make a well informed, quality video. I was trying to explain to my brother the impact of an 808 kit on music but couldn’t adequately describe its sound. You more than adequately demonstrated its use and it’s sound in a way that made me appear smart in relation lol

[@Equalyze]

Thank you for this incredible tutorial, Michael, but especially for the tip about using distortion and EQ to get lower basses to cut through on smaller sound systems. I've really been trying to focus on making music better for phone and laptop speakers, and I did come across the use of distortion and other techniques, but no other video has explained these concepts in as concise and clear a manner as you have. Aside from that, the abundance of other tips included in this other video (e.g., using the "Phase" function to cut down on pops and clips) are incredibly helpful as well. Thanks again! :)

[@sirenbrian]

This was really helpful, thank you! It's great to see a video that explains the common, basic steps you take with immensely flexible tools like Vital. I knew how all the parts worked, but not the common ways people chain them together to make the basic sounds we all recognize.

[@edcuddy2522]

These Vital tutorials are excellent - clear, concise and at a perfect pace for the synth beginner. Thanks and keep them coming!
