Producing House Music With Ableton Live: Bass and Synth
by TA on Feb.10, 2010, under Releases, TA, Video
You asked for more video tutorials, and now they’re back!
My first video in the series was so well received, and so many people asked for a second one… that I’ve decided to do another! This whole video focuses on tips for Synths and Bass for House and EDM in general.
As with my first video in the series, this one is aimed towards beginner to intermediate producers who want to fast-track the production learning curve. However, in some sections I’ve tried to cater for all levels, so I’m sure that even the more experienced producers will also gain a tip or two.
Here’s the scoop on what’s included:
Almost 2 and 1/2 hours of tutorials covering goodies such as:
Making a Bass from any Sample
Tuning Sampled Bass
Bass Keying with the Drums
Bass EQ without an EQ
Bass Layering
Resampling Bass Notes
Frequency Splitting
Sidechaining Bass
Sequencing Basslines
MIDI Resampling
Sequence using your Voice
Filter & Env Modulation
Break it Down
Sub Bass Tips
Sub Bass Kick
Synth Swells
Matching Kick & Bass
Dubstep & Wobble Basslines
Creating a Bass Bomb
Some of the tips involving complex midi routing etc are pretty Live specific, but I’d say that 85% of the content can be applied to any DAW.
