My Journey Discovering The Basic Elements Of A Bassline

[@dusshan1]

"i am trying to add something that is not there". Man you deserve a medal for this! suddenly i was like WTF all the time i was thinking about the eQing in a wrong way:) very useful tip

[@lukemcmahon7020]

Another great one was "Its not how it sounds alone, it's how everything sounds together" Layering sounds is really the meta

[@ahmaddavis295]

sorry to be so off topic but does any of you know a tool to get back into an instagram account..? I was stupid lost my account password. I would appreciate any tips you can offer me!

[@MrModelnow]

This video was published on or around 2019, and I must say I just found what I was looking for in reference to producing unique basslines. Thanks man!

[@michellesaman868]

you're prolly the best on youtube for what you do.

[@kyju7093]

"Production is reduction" hahah thats brilliant, great vid!

man this is a good one. watched it a couple months ago and now re watching i actually understand what your doing. great tutorial man.

[@timmunsterman2239]

Just want to say THANK YOU for these videos. I'm starting out with an unauthorised Ableton which doesn't allow me to save anything, so these quick tutorials are great for practicing the basics.

[@thomas.f1984]

I've just got Ableton live 10 suite off pirate bay. Works perfectly!

Another great one. Thanks a lot for doing this!

[@darkone7203]

you are describing the journey I'm currently on. I don't Understand Bass. apparently its more complicated than I thought. thanks for this video, it helped me out :)

[@_MrJA]

What!? No irritatingly loud and flashy motion graphics intro at all! I hope this becomes a trend that'll sweep all over KZbin!

[@losangulos]

No growl bass either.

[@HighMonkeyMonk]

No ear-bleeding intros that make you shit your pants? Subscribed.

Very helpful video... Thanks!

cool video, man! I feel like i'm talking to myself, thanks for the tips :)

[@H1zoneTv]

Great video

[@scroez]

Brilliant tutorial man, explained so well for any DAW, (Logic urser here-Though possibly intresed in Ableton in the future)

[@Mars_Monkey]

"...and a bit of ego"... ahahahahaha

[@MrCasperexpress]

And a bit of ego lol

[@fufubanton4517]

at 11:22 u gain it with utility instead of just using the gain in the EQ, is there a difference?

No, both should be adding clean gain, I believe.

[@SwedishSurfer]

Good one!

[@twoscoops2]

Great video!

[@rnsrp2]

Top video bro ! Thanks

[@aleksywnek95]

Gorgeous, thx

[@666bruv]

HAH, I just bought the same tapestry wall hanging. Farking farny. But yer right, multi tracking single inputs like bass and kick, like you described, will put more oomph into the final result

[@jensenstetson2605]

really cool

[@Drake64958]

Very helpfull video :D

[@arjanpetersen]

Which notes do you generally choose for bass? When your kick is G?

[@istijtk567]

Hey.Could you post me the video you explain about the clicking sound? I am only using Ableton default synth which doesn't have the phase and band nobs.Thank you

[@NikitaKalininn]

Are you ever worried about the phasing that can be heard once you add a second oscillator? 4:14 is a good example. Keep up the educational videos by the way! Have been following your work for a few years now.

[@kn00tcn]

phasing makes things sound more alive, especially if it changes over time

[@NikitaKalininn]

@@kn00tcn I agree but shouldn't bass be as close as possible to solid mono with no phasing? I would have thought that messes with the subs that are attempting to reproduce the low end (in a club environment)

[@TheOfficalAndI]

@@NikitaKalininn yes lower frequencies should be pretty much mono. Phasing would cause the volume to fluctuate which is pretty audible for low frequ. You can do more phasy stuff in upper registers though

[@sircat123]

Great tutorial! Learned lots! Wuick question: If you add the 3th (sub) layer to the first layer (also with sub) won’t there be any phasing issues?

[@mrgregsully]

That wall tapestry makes everything sound like psytrance.

[@MrCasperexpress]

Ok I want to add Low End to that and i don't want that do de do de dooo thing

[@davidbrown160]

1:04 That sound almost gave me a catastrophic multihemispheric cerebral hematoma.

[@Salman-Q]

bass sensetive?

[@bradleylambert3284]

Can you use chords for a bassline? Does anyone do this? I've just got Ableton and made some chords, arpeggiated them and side chained it to the kick drum and it sounds lovely but not sure if I will have trouble later on when adding in other stuff. It sounds really nice, it's a driving techno bassline. The type Dave Clarke would play, bassy and quite melodic. Any thoughts?

[@TheSnowLeopard]

5:40 Just wait until you discover Bass Pizza!

[@Mars_Monkey]

"That's a free tip!"...ahahahahahaha

[@berciri28]

How do you hide other notes, and how to show it again? Omg i was trying to figure it out but failed.

[@lucardumen9354]

Top left on the piano roll, it says "Fold". Highlighted, it hides notes you aren't using.

[@alexspicer5771]

Does he have a limiter on master here?

[@SadowickProduction]

I always do

[@alexspicer5771]

@@SadowickProduction is -6db the best setting or do you recommend something else?

[@SadowickProduction]

@@alexspicer5771 I do -3db if youre talking about headroom. Actual limiter thresholds depend on the material and desired loudness.

[@nichttuntun3364]

I recognize that you are teaching the base of producing absolutely stiff, lifeless and therefore boring bass lines. To make a thrilling baseline which isn't worn out after 1 minute of listening you need to study baseline notations first. But more important you need really good playing skills and be able to play in and out the beat and change the timing in slight shifts. You should be able to play groovy as hell and know your funk and swing styles I and out as well as changes and playing in and outside a scale. Nail that down and than record your life playing as midi files and than you can do your fine tuning programming and sound design. There is nothing which will compensate that lack of cool playing skills and knowledge about musical theory. If you are not capable of that your music will always miss that certain something even in electro style genres. The bass is that one force in music which is one of the most important foundations.

[@kn00tcn]

it was more of a personal story about what he realized years ago, done in a psytrance style for the purposes of the topic while groovyness is a different topic (note how highly specific his videos are in the past couple years, but it also depends on the genre, some are intentionally robotic sounding)
