Techno Bass Recipe

[@flossless200]

Recently discovered your channel and have been going through entire back catalogue of recipes, they are so valuable and inspiring for the type of music i want to make. Please make more :)

[@Gyrbae]

I absolutely love that first bassline, wish there was an entire track with it

[@AKAtAGG]

ffs i literally just spent about 3 hours sound designing a new techno bass on U-he Diva to go with my 303. Yan Cook makes almost the exact sound I was after in STOCK PLUGIN. Godlike, as usual. Fkin love you Mr Cook. edit: coulda done with this 3 hours ago tho. Bass2 is unbelievably nice. I'm nicking it.

[@silakaelxis]

That's why you should always explore what's available and know it really well... stock plugins can do wonders if you know how to work with them well. Sure Yan makes this for general availability but I wouldn't be surprised if he actually used most of the stock stuff for his tunes.

[@benearle271]

​@@silakaelxis Exactly! Operator, Collision and Wavetable are some of the best soft synths you can use, period. And two of those synths can do stuff ONLY they can do. I can hear Collision on a lot of Yan's tracks, there are not many synths out there that can sound like it. To be honest, the best value third party plugins are fx - reverb, tape emulators, compressors etc. I don't really use any of my third party soft synths anymore except Razor.

[@silakaelxis]

@@benearle271 Absolutely mate, I got a DFAM and a TD-3... apart from that, everything is stock. Only plugins are indeed for FX and occasionally Serum, but less and less these days.

Your videos are so good. They literally brought me back to making techno after a break! I was writing techno for 2 years and ended up in depression that I cannot create the music I want and get that particular sound, ended up selling all my gear and thinking I wont be doing this again. But thanks to you I`m back in the game again!

[@DataCollaborate]

303 is the Ultimate technique since the late 80s. Never stop a Running System.

Jesus!! those first two are some of the best bass sounds i’ve ever heard

can u explain?

[@ohstirfry]

Always killing it. Thanks Yan.

[@slowyaroll762]

that 44hz frequency shifter trick sounds insane

[@slowyaroll762]

Yan can you explain this a little bit ? Why does shifting the freq UP by 44hz introduce such a nice, grimey low end?

[@benearle271]

@@slowyaroll762 I presume the number (44hz) is specific to the source sound. So another patch might sound better at a different rate? My guess is it's a trial and error approach. I could be wrong, but I presume Yan spends a fair amount of time tweaking before he records these, then he just has everything written down and types it in during recording to make the video clear and concise for viewers.

[@slowyaroll762]

@@benearle271 yeah I hear you - I saw him do the 44hz trick on a few different source sounds (and tried it myself too) and it seems to sound great! So I'm curious if it was the case you're mentioning or if it's something specific about the 44hz increase

[@benearle271]

@@slowyaroll762 interesting! Well it's the fundamental frequency of F, maybe something to do with that?

[@steilebriese759]

Hey Yan, thanks for the recipe! It saved me a lot of time and tastes really good!

Thanks for these great videos 👏👏

[@logosvisuals]

What a great video. Thank you for making it.

[@G0LD3NAABS]

Great as always !!!

[@andrestahlhofen4353]

Love your sound design. But Im wondering with all the delays, long reverb tails, unison and frequency shifter in the low end - how do you control your phasing and prevent the sound from losing focus? Or do you run a sub underneath it separately?

[@KonvertArt]

nice quastion!!! Wonder me too

[@TheSFHAA]

You check it in mono and adjust if necessary.

[@mundelator]

Love those Recipe videos, thx 🙏

[@zeljkokrnjic6287]

Woah second groove is nasty !! 😎

[@simonsperling9513]

Einfach der beste 👍

[@patrickferreira2497]

Great content as always! I have one question. What would be your low end structure/group considering that you are using bass #2? Would you keep the kick rumble and a separate sub channel? Tips on how you group and structure your low end would be great! Thanks again for the content!

[@YanCook]

If I understood your question right, you should check my kick videos :)

Best intro ever lol

[@TH-pv5xn]

2nd bass is sick! I also have a question: I want to try and start working with more physical stuff instead of just in Ableton with my mouse. What do you recommend as a first purchase? I've been looking at the digitakt but I see you doing crazy stuff with the digitise as well. hope you have the time to answer. thanks anyways. :)

[@YanCook]

It's hard to recommend something specific, all depends on what you want to do. Maybe take a look at Ableton Push. Elektron`s stuff is pretty great too :)

[@SinisterSandvich]

This may seem like an amateur question, but where can I find the ‘bass’ instrument used for Bass 1? Couldn’t find it in Ableton.

[@YanCook]

Creative Extensions Pack, you can find it on the Ableton site.

[@beatsbyarvin]

Someone help me out here. Is this baseline along with rumble bass that you’d have in techno? Because in tech house the baseline is a lot more deeper and suby

[@filipazor606]

Thank you!

[@JaydedWun]

I wish I knew why some of these changes affected the sound the way they do

[@yeiroaguja3518]
