I love and have learned so much from your tuts man, thank goodness for ADSR. I had a question on this, seeing as you tuned the first OSC down 64, and then later added a Sine for the sub, pitched down 12 steps, do you group and EQ them together, or would you still get rid of the lows on the main Future bass sound? I'm always confused as to how low to cut my main bass sound, and how high my sub fundamentals should be playing at. Also whether or not overlapping of fundamentals is ok, say a sub plays. For example say you play a G, the sub around 50 sounds great, but then if you play an F, the sub is so low, it sounds nicer at 100, but then both basses playing the same F at around 100 looses power, or muddies things up... Sorry didn't expect to expand on this question that much, but maybe you can help me put this one to rest.
I'm trying to make a bass sound that I often hear used in today's music, but I've never seen anyone provide a tut for creating it - probably because it's quite simple? It sounds like a clean 60 Hz sine wave yet when I try to emulate it, I can never nail it... my attack rate is too quick or the end result is too muddy. The bass sound I'm looking for is like what's heard on Crywolf's songs Neverland or We Never Asked for This. Thanks!

Hey ESW, sorry to post an unrelated-to-the-video comment, but I don't know of a better way to contact you: I was wondering if I could request another patch tutorial (the last one didn't work out, I guess, and that's totally fine). I've been trying for hours to create a 'modern' electro or trance lead. My reference tracks are We Are by Dennis Sheperd, and ILan Bluestone's Remix of Skylarking by BT - particularly the intro verses, which have similar, intense leads. The lead has a smooth quality despite its aggressive style, which is the part I've found hardest to replicate. I've tried recreating it using 1-3 layers of Massive and Sylenth (using mainly a multi-saw base with perhaps one of the weird waveforms in Massive underneath), but my ultimate problem is getting that smooth quality without making the sound come out really muted and blatantly lowpassed. I was really hoping you could help me out with this, since it's an interesting sound that I haven't seen anyone on TH-cam or any forums cover. Thanks so much, and to repeat my previous comments, I really appreciate all your tutorials!
statoose Hey, no worries. I'm listening to those tracks now. You mean the top bass sound in those tracks right? Maybe give me a specific time in the track so I' referencing the correct sound!
statoose Hey man, try blending these two together. Massive one louder than the Sylenth one. You will need to Use an EQ to get out some of they very high frequencies and SC compression to get that bounce. www.dropbox.com/s/cz7t31xvxzdi31t/Trance%20Bass.zip?dl=0
***** Not exactly what I was looking for, but it helps. The main sound you created in Massive sounds too angry - a result I just managed to avoid in my own attempts - somewhat like Dada Life's insanely fat leads. However, the Sylenth1 lead works quite nicely when paired with my own version of the saw lead with a little modification to both, along with two other very quiet layers I made with Massive and Sylenth1. The white noise helps with that 'smooth' quality I was looking for. All in all, not perfect, but definitely good for my first song with this sound. Thanks a lot for you time, ESW! I still wouldn't mind seeing a video from you exploring this sound sometime, if you want any ideas from a fan.
+ADSR Music Production Tutorials Is this some kind of skin or something? why do ur knobs (lol) look all funky like that? Ive got the latest version but my knobs are all different and boring!
Great tutorial! You explain things very well, as always! Keep up the excellent work!
How do you get that sick Logic skin?
Absolutely love your tutorials!
hey where can i buy smear shifter?
Can you show how you chopped up the vocal and the processing on it. I liked that. Good tut per usual. Thanks.
skateg101 That's like the fifth request for vocal chops tutorial(s) so I will do some in the near future. Thanks for watching!

Wow, this tutorial helped me a lot! Thank you very much!
With which plug-in did you make that Kick, it's awesome
EXCELLENT TUTORIAL!
The problem i have with Gecko kind of bass is that its out of tune ....How can i go around that? Tune the audio to keep the character ?

***** Yeah, that top bass that drops at the 1:00 mark in both tracks. Thanks!

something is wrong with my routing i believe. when setting osc1 to filter 2 there is no output from osc1 at all. even with filt2 all the way up
It could be because you clicked new sound when you opened massive but he just opened massive and used the patch that is default
Very nice!
This is amazing!! I like it (:(:
What is this DAW?
