Making an Epic Trance Bass From One Loop

[@adamellistutorials]

In this tutorial, I will show you how to create a professional Trance Mid Bass from a single loop. Using a mix of dynamic EQ, compression, and distortion, I first isolate the sub bass. Then, I create three mid layers and mix everything together. [e-mail] ​ 💽 In the last 10 years I have helped clients sign to every major label in the Trance scene and two clients achieved Beatport #1 ​ records on Kearnage and Pure Trance. ​ ✨ What You'll Get: ​ - 💰 Full money-back guarantee - 📅 1 month paid trial - 📝 Weekly feedback - 👨‍🏫 Full mentorship throughout - 📱 Access to my private Telegram Community - 📚 All Adam Ellis Samples/templates provided - 📺 Hundreds of hours of HD videos included

[@adamellistutorials]

Welcome to the journey! So happy to hear you're learning a lot. Keep at it!

[@hotzemusic]

Love using loops for sub bass! hand drum loops, low passed = amazing hardgroove / tech subs! Great vid man this was awesome

[@adamellistutorials]

Totally agree, loops can add so much depth. Glad you enjoyed the vid!

[@richardronchetti6457]

Great tutorial mate. Deffo gunna try this!

[@ToddMakofski]

Fantastic video Adam! Love the new setup and format! 👊🏻

[@adamellistutorials]

Thanks, Todd! Really appreciate it. Glad you like the new setup!

[@kismet333music]

thats nice man 😌 inspires me to experiment with similar processing

[@adamellistutorials]

Glad to inspire! Experimentation leads to great discoveries. Have fun!

[@olaskjeldal]

Thanks for another great video! Do you consider phase relationship between the sub bass and the kick at all, or is any overlap not considered important?

[@adamellistutorials]

That’s why we added LFO tool buddy

[@BenSkinnerDj]

Love this one mate. Great way to make an audio loop not only sound cool but also your own in a way. If you didn’t have dynamic eq, do you think you could also achieve similar result with multiband comp like the Fab MB? Will be trying this out for sure ❤️🙌

[@adamellistutorials]

Thanks, Ben! Yes, a multiband compressor like FabFilter MB could definitely be used to achieve similar results.

[@kiminthemix4251]

that was awesome. Also, I would love to see it in the midi way.

[@adamellistutorials]

Coming tomorrow :)

[@FuChungKu]

Nice video Mate. This is like me tinkering, with an 8 bar loop, for hours with a big grin on my face. Oh and that free Wider plugin now has a version 2 that has a low pass filter to prevent phase issues.

[@adamellistutorials]

Wow no way. Il grab that

[@tsango1972]

Down to earth tutorials mate. Put a notch in at 30hz to allow the kick to come though. ‘Hmmmmm, make no difference’ 😂 love it mate….. no BS

[@adamellistutorials]

That’s it mate. Sometimes we’re told as producers you must do something. But you do it and it barely sounds different. I’ve got a compression tutorial coming that’s similar 😊

[@tsango1972]

@@adamellistutorials Funny enough I was trying to master a track last night, and added some compression and was using a ref track to work to. I kept clicking the comp on and off and thought, I can't really hear any difference but apparently it's crucial in mastering!!! Ha ha!!!

[@adamellistutorials]

@@tsango1972yeah it is mate but you need to apply it in a gain stage process. I get my tunes mastered as I like a second pair of ears on it.

[@tsango1972]

@@adamellistutorials yes, ear blindness is a real issue!

[@blueeyedcat3443]

Thaaaaaaanks!

[@adamellistutorials]

You're welcome!!! So glad you enjoyed it!

[@craigstuart9389]

Nice

[@MSI917]

Hi mate, do you tune your kicks? Maybe do a video on it as I know this is a topic where some do it and others dont.

[@adamellistutorials]

I do not tune kicks :) Email me if you want me to send you a bank of my best 10 kicks for free!

[@MSI917]

@@adamellistutorials Thank you that's kind of you. Just a quickie.. .. If you shorten your kicks enough so they don't overlap with the bass does this mean you don't have to tune kicks ?

[@adamellistutorials]

@@MSI917you don’t ever need to tune kicks. Making your kick short will just ruin your kicks low end. 😊

[@djdylanforbes]

This might sound like a dumb question, but wouldn't taking the DP sub bass down a couple of octaves using one of Logic's standard plugins, and using Logic's sub bass plugin on the file, give a similar result? Just curious...

[@adamellistutorials]

You could but the idea here was just seeing if we can make a full bass line from one loop.

[@stefanoricci9978]

Good little tutorial, I need to start using trash more. video quality is looking much better maybe a little more light. Try using a ring light.

[@adamellistutorials]

Incredible plug for midbass

[@LiamFitz-qt9iv]

Great video thanks for sharing.

[@adamellistutorials]

Thanks, Liam! Glad you enjoyed it.

[@arielleandrist]

Right.. So, what happens when your melody requires you to modulate to something other than C as your bass note?

[@adamellistutorials]

You just use R Bass or pitch the bass. Certainly not ideal though, hence my recommendation to absolutely always use midi for your sub.
