Trance Bassline Tutorial (The 3 Basic Trance Basslines)
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 1 ต.ค. 2024
- This FL Studio trance bass tutorial will show you how to make the 3 most basic uplifting trance basslines. These are the 3 fundamental underlying sub basslines that is used in most tracks. This is the foundation on which most basslines are built.
The video will also show you how to make a mid bass drive to go along with the sub bass, as well as some basic percussion elements.
This is a rather basic tutorial on how to make some trance basslines. There will usually be saturation, compression, delay, reverb and so on, but I wanted to make this video as short as possible with focus on the midi itself, so I didn't want to spend too much time on the actual mixing.
I will make a longer and more detailed Trance drive tutorial later.

Any chance for a bass layering tutorial? This was one of the more interesting parts you skipped here.
@@KKAltair Hi, yes, this is planned :)
@@FireWalkMusic Excellent news! :)
Trance: prominent kick, off beat bass, lot’s of hihats, long tailed clap, snare roll, arpeggios, epic wide pads and an uplifting melody. I like it! I’m working on some gems at the moment on my new Adam Audio monitors. Trance music = ❤️ Forever!!
Pad for wide, panning should be like what? For example %25for left and another pad %25for right is it ok?
@@ozantabakofficial theres no rule of thumb for panning, it depends on what u want to acieve or what is necessary. usually a pad doesnt need to be panned because its already wide through the amount of voices, detuning and chorus effect
you described Aly and Fila hehe
@@ozantabakofficial It depends how much panning you should apply. A wide pad can also be achieved with a stereo widener plug-in (be aware to get no phasing issues!), clever use of reverb etcetera. In fact it doesn’t matter how much panning is used. There are no rules. First you got to know the rules of music production and then you can simply let them go and let your creativity flow.
@@hunk443 haha, they are great Trance music artists!
Amazing, your the best where it comes to trance tutorials, i found them really rare also!
Thanks, glad you liked it :)
Psytrance tutorials are SO hard to find. Ive just decided to focus solely on psychidelic trance and theres not much out there
2:30 not triplets. they are straight 16th notes with the first one of each beat left out to leave space for the kick.
Indeed, you're right. I misspoke. I was thinking about the standard trance tripple note bassline. It's not technically triplets as you say. :)
Did you just call 3 sixteenth notes ‘triplets’?
Unfortunately, yes. Should have caught it in the video editing. The video was originally twice as long, but I removed some parts to make it shorter and more to the point. Not sure if it's possible to edit it out now that it's uploaded :\
@@FireWalkMusic Alright, no problem! It was still a great tutorial, I may just be too whiney, so don't worryy lol
triplets is what some people call 3 x 16th notes. its hardly relevant
stopped searching for tutorials a long time ago once I found 🔥 walk, simple amazing as always. definitely going to be making a regular contribution. I cannot afford to miss any knowledge from this absolute master.
Thanks Daniel! I really appreciate that! I'm so glad to see that people seem to like these tutorials. The whole point from the very start was to make a "simpler and shorter kind of tutorial" that was straight to the point with easy language so that people from all over the world would be able to follow.
Feedback like this is the reason I keep on making these videos. Thank you! :)
I'm so happy that i subscribed your channel :) lot's of tutorials that i saw in the past are so long and lot's of times boring , your video's is so easy to follow and i enjoy watching it :) Thanks man and keep up the good job ;) Greetings from the Netherlands .
Hey there Andre, I'm really glad you liked it! What you just said is the exact reason I started making these videos in the first place. I wanted to make a different kind of tutorial. A tutorial that was as simple as possible, yet short and straight to the point with no babbling. :)
Andre Vaughn best tutorials on the internet in my opinion.
Thanks! :) :)
That drop at 16:41 is insane! So good..
Thanks! :)
Thanks… just starting making trance and this video really helps..
Nice vid! I like the kick and bass bussing, especially
Glad you found it helpful :)
Every time your channel is updated, I'll watch it immediately，because i know there's something important that i can learn for it,and use for it #####BEST CHANNEL#####
Thanks Jack! Much appreciated! :)
Incredibly helpful, thanks for taking the time to put this together for us
Glad you liked it. :)
These are good tutorials, but you try too hard to *make sure* people know this isn't the final product or a mixed down track. People KNOW that, it's fine.
You'd be surprised how many extremely basic questions you get when you make a video like this. I only state these things so that I don't have to spend so much time answering all those questions later on. For you and me, these things are obvious of course, but for a lot of people it will be quite confusing. Even the simplest most basic thing can be confusing for a beginner if it's not explicitly explained, even across videos.
For example: In one video we might show how to get the levels right for a kick and a sub bass in relation to each other. Then, in a completely different and unrelated video we show how to sidechain. It's not uncommon for me to get questions like: "I'm confused! In video A the kick was at level "x", but in this video it's not. Why?"
Things you and I don't really think about, but which can be difficult to grasp for some beginners. :)
No i'm a real beginner so I really appreciate these videos. Your one on EQ is fantastic so thanks for that!
@@Ben-mc1qh thanks, much appreciated! I will make more mixing videos soon.
I only wished I'd found this channel sooner. Amazing tutorials!
Thanks! :)
Выражаю автору огромную благодарность за бесценные знания, которые он преподносит начинающим музыкальным продюссерам.
Пожалуйста, не останавливайте выпускать ролики, объясняющие, как работают те или иные плагины (limiter, reverb, delay) для обработки звука. У Вас прекрасно поставлена подача материала. Люди Вас поддержат!
Everything sure but how did you synthesize that bassline dude ?
We don't need tips
It's about how to make
Sad......
Hey :) This video is just about how to make various bass lines, I will be making another video about how to make bass sounds etc as soon as I get the time :)
But anyways it's the best sounding tutorial bassline I have come across......
It's so catchy that I saw it today & its been in my head for whole day dude !
& That's why I wanted to see how you synthesized it & hence this reaction lol
It just sounds perfect to my ears as a trance & this is the bass & bpm I was looking for !
Even that project bassline of yours is sick !
Hope you will upload the stated tut video soon
I'm waiting !
I am a self learner & I never had a luck getting it sound this good even after trying with 4-5 of my own trance try tracks !
It's just like a pro !
Thanks! It's all about combining the right sounds in the first place, and eqing them right. Trance bass lines are hard. Trance is one of the hardest genres to produce in my opinion. Some people say trance music sound so simple and that it must be easy to produce. They have no Idea how wrong they are! :)
Hi, great tutorial. Could you make a video on how to write and mix driving percussion for psytrance, or hard trance please?
I'm planning on making more trance oriented tutorials in the future :)
ive searched a 2000s trance bassline tutorial. But this is PsyTrance
Hey, late 90s / early 2000's trance bass lines are very simple compared to today's bass lines, and they are also covered in this video. This video focuses on the sub bass in the bass line, which is the main foundation of the bass line. That's where the power is. There are three main underlying bass lines when it comes to all kinds of, and this video cover those three.
They are the same both in uplifting trance and in psy trance. The difference is that in uplifting trance you also tend to have rolling mid bass lines with different and somewhat more complex patterns layered on top if the main sub bass, while in psy trance you just have one main bass.
Back in the early 2000's trance music used the same basic sub bass lines as today, either the classic off beat bass, or a rolling bass line. It's the same basic technique as covered in this video. Back then there were no daws like today, so everything you hear in those old classics was most likely made on hardware, and then recorded. That means that everything was structured much simpler than what you'll find in today's music. It still sounded great though :)
This is not psy trance, the last example is but 90% of the video is generic uplifting trance
@@FireWalkMusic yeah ahaha awesome im not the one asking but it was really usefull information so thanks a lot
If you use another bassline, some inovative...`sorry your track is not suitable for our record label`
Yes, unfortunately, this is often the case. I could make a whole video about this issue.
It didn't use to be like this, but these days labels are very careful and they almost always go with the well known and familiar. At least the big ones.
They will typically only sign artists who are already famous.
Your track might be truly awesome, even better than what the top guys produce. Even so, 95% of the time they will go with the already known artist.
Back in the 90s and early 2000 there was an explosion of new ideas and unique tracks. Today everything tend to sound the same.
A label typically identifies with a typical sound, and that also causes producers signed to that label to try and make their tracks sound that same way.
It's something that everyone is aware of, but nobody is willing, or able to do anything about it unfortunately.
When everyone knows that their track won't get picked up by a label if it's too unique, different or original, then obviously nothing new and original will ever get made.
I think everyone will agree that music, and especially trance music was a lot more varied and interesting back in the day. :)
I know the feeling...
Sir , can you show to us how to make the "slyder-score" bass line please? thanks!!!
A kick ass tutorial I usually go through all this and yeah ur arrangement and work flow is so clean thanks for sharing
Thanks! Glad you liked it! I always try to make my tutorial videos clean and simple. My own workflow is often quite chaotic though, as you can see in this video where I recreated a James Dymond track: th-cam.com/video/t5FeKwW1yW4/w-d-xo.html
I really think it would have helped a lot if FL Studio had a true folder track architecture in the playlist, like other daws have. :)
@@FireWalkMusic a new update has nested automation under the appropriate channel now thankfully. So that would clean an arrangement window up quite a bit since a lot of clips are usually a ton of automation lol.. I choose bitwig personally because of the cleanness of the whole workflow but still dabble in FL because it's very quick to get ideas down.
@@Mrdjhappyman Indeed. It's a step in the right direction, but it's still just an automatic "group with above track" function. It's nothing like a true folder track architecture like in many other daws. The problem with "group with above" is that you can only group once. You have to choose between grouping either your automation with the correct track, or grouping all your elements together. You can't do both.
For example, in Cubase I typically group all my percussion as one, all my leads as one and so on, and then the automation will still be linked with each respective track. The automatic nesting now kind of emulates that, but it comes at the expense of grouping similar elements together, so I hope they move to a true folder track architecture eventually. This will make organizing much better.
Straightforward and helpful.
Thanks :)
Perfect but... the Bassline presets??? :'(
Thanks :) I'll see if I can find the project and have them uploaded. :)
Thanks you so much, you should put the flp download when doing a tutorial so we can actually see what's done!
man did you find the project?
Did you find it right now??? :) xD
BTW best Tutorials...
make it
Ive copied what u did but mine sounds out of time? Its all quantised.
Is it sidechained? The sidechain will affect the rhythm quite a lot
Show some more psytrance tips,i know is very tricky to produce and much difficult than Euro Trance,how to make tight and well sidechained kick and bassline,using Audio precise merged Bass Tone sample or direct playing from plugin? 😉
Actually psy trance isn't that difficult as long as you know how to do it. It's a minimalist genre, so it's generally much easier to mix compared to uplifting trance for example, where you often have so much going on at the same time that it becomes almost impossible to mix without having phasing issues and such.
I do have psy trance on my "to do list" , but I can't say for sure when I'll get around to it. :)
thank you, you are really good at teaching, a hug from brazil!
Thanks! Glad you liked it 😀
Can you make acid techno bassline & kick/bassdrum tutorial?
Hi! where i can download this tutorial ? interesting. I did not know much before! THNX
Glad you foud it helpful. It's only available here on you tube I'm affraid. :\
Make a video on EDM music genre
When I’m hearing an edm track I don’t know what genre is or sub-genre
That's a though one. Some people will argue that EDM is a genre on it's own, while others will say that EDM (electronic dance music) is a common description of ALL music made electronically.
There are so many genres and sub genres today. You're not the only one who struggle with this. Not even the most fanatic supporters of any given genre will agree what belongs in which sub genre. Often times there is a very fine line, as a lot of music tend to incorporate elements from various genres. Is it tropical house or deep house? or both? is it tech trance or uplifting trance?
It's an interesting topic for sure, and I will probably make a video about this eventually :)
I really like your patients and to the point Style that's very helpful thanks a lot
Thanks, glad you liked it :)
Hey FIREWALK
I have been watching quietly for some time now your TUTORIALS and DAW PRODUCTION SKILLS on how to PRODUCE TRANCE . I personally think your one of the BEST TUTORS maybe even THE BEST. I also agree that TRANCE PRODUCTION is definatly one of the hardest GENRES to COMPOSE.
My problem always seems to be when it comes to WRITING my THEME. I lose Track of time writing my THEMES spending more time on trying to SUMMARISE my arrangement within my THEME. But by the time i have finished laying down my MELODIES , RESOLVING CHORDS, LEADS MOTIVES and arrangement structure etc.
I forget all the PERCUSSION and basic things like my EFFECTS for TENSION BUILD etc. I very rarely ever finish many TRACKS because of this BAD HABIT. Also i have tried to WRITE the other way round. But my love is the MELODIES & CHORDS & EUPHORICNESS of TRANCE. In your experience is this a habit that i need to get out of.
Thanks also for the TIME & EFFORT you put into your VIDEO TUTORIALS. I,m sure many ppl who VISIT YOUR SITE like my self gain VALUABLE KNOWLEDGE and PERSONAL SKILL SETS from yourself. I would like to a see more in depth TUTORIAL on how to STRUCTURE A TRACK if like myself you get lost in SOUND DESIGN and the whole MELODIC STRUCTURE of a track and HOW TO OVERCOME WRITERS BLOCK if possible.
THANK YOU FOR SHARING YOUR KNOWLEDGE WITH THE WORLD : )
Hi, glad you found the videos helpful. More trance related tutorials are planned. It sounds to me like you're making some classic mistakes here. As a producer you're always in a race against time in order to complete a track. You need to be able to get things down quickly, before ear fatigue sets in. At that point, you're going to be so sick and tired of listening to the track that chances are slim you'll ever finish it.
There are ways to help prevent this, and some workflows work better than others. If you need help with your tracks, and general advice etc then I recommend using my feedback service. The link is in the description. :)
For the love of music, please make a course or something =D I will pay ! XD
Thanks, I've been considering it. :)
Anyone notice the similarities to the “how it’s made” narrator. I love that show.
:D
lol I love “how it’s made”, too! The voice is really alike! XD
yeah nice tipps and yeah a psytrance project... awesome!!! ..
Thank you! Glad you liked the video. I was affraid I was rushing it a bit this time, as it was dragging out a bit and I always try to make my videos as short as possible. :)
is sidechaining the sub necessary if you shorten the kick to prevent the overlap?
Usually, yes. Even when shortening the tail it will have to be extremely short in able to fit in between, and it wouldn't sound all that great. There will always bee a crossover point where the kick goes down while the sub goes up. The trick is to make it as short as possible without having it sound bad. You need some of that tail to make it sound natural.
What db are you cutting the low end of the mid bass. Thanks. Great video. Awesome tune
Thanks. It depends on the sound itself, and also on what other sounds are in there and how they work as a whole., so it will be different every time.
@@FireWalkMusic ok thanks. Giving every sound it's own space in the sound spectrum.
im confused..dont get why a bass line is so hard. could the timing of my notes be off...like do i need to have a different grid on fl studio like yours?
Trance bass-lines seem so easy on paper. But in reality they are really hard to get right. You usually can't do it with just one or two basses. You need a combination of basses that work well together, and this is the trick to a good trance bassline. You need to find a unique pattern that mixes well together, and the sounds also need to complement each other exactly the right way, or they'll end up fighting each other instead and sound bad.
My track is a slower more chill trance track and these types of basslines don't work at all.
Hi, these are by far the most common basslines for trance music in general, however for some slower sub genres they might not be ideal. What is the exact sub genre you're producing?
Pretty good as always:))))!!!!
+JiménezTV Thanks! Glad you liked it :)
Great tutorial, could you please please make a tutorial on how to sidechain kick and bass perfectly using fruity limiter. I went ratio all the way and thres -26.0 I lost too much of my bass punchiness but this feel the best sidechain ratio.
Some times it helps to try out different triggers (kicks) for the sidechain as well
Hello,
I have a question I can't seem to find an answer for.
Maybe I'm coming at it from the wrong angle.
I want to make some preset arpeggios for the FL Apreggiator in Piano Roll that I can reuse on other projects .
My goal is,
so I don't have to draw them in each time. FL has an arpeggiator in the piano roll with preset patterns or templates.
Can I create and add my own templates to this?
...or shall I say...how do I save my arpeggios for the FL Studio Apreggiator ?
Another simple explanation is:
I want to write a simple trance pattern/rhythm and then save it as a pattern/template for use later.
Thanks and Have an awesome day, or night or both.
How did you get the plug ins for those different bass sounds because I'm looking to get Nexus and Sylenth 1
I think it was Spire. But you can basically make any sound with any synth. Nexus is a Rompler though, so it only has presets. :)
FireWalk thanks for the advice :)
Np :)
All i know is I absolutely love the bassline of classic goa tracks, as an example Rain by california sunshine , Crystal by blue planet corporation , Mahadeva by Astral projection. However nowadays uplifting has a heavy deafening bassline that drowns all the melodies and beautiful instrumental sounds . What is different in production of these two types of basslines ? I have no production knowledge but love to know. May you be well and happy
Know I’m late but you can shorten wave forms visually on fl studio, I can on mine and it’s older 😂 on the screen before going to envelope settings use the parameters and you can tighten from there 👍
Yes, this has been possible for quite some time, but that's not the same thing. In this example the kick sample is being cut off with volume automation basically, so the transient and the bulk of the body of the kick is preserved until the very last moment, when it's cut off. Basically just the last bit of the tail is cut off when you do it this way. If you use the in and out knobs in the sampler itself, you change the entire sample, basically fading it out from from the very start, which will cause it to loose most of it's energy early on. By doing it this way instead, you preserve the power for as long as possible, while at the same time removing that last bit that's causing mud and overlap. :)
not to be that dude that corrects people, but those aren't triplets ! great stuff tho :D
I Know, was thinking about "trance triplet bass lines" when I made the video. :D
i have a cracked fl 9 suite and strugles to get plugins can you help
I strongly recommend buying the software. It's one of the cheapest daws out there, and you also get lifetime free updates. So you just buy it once, and then you never have to think about upgrades ever again since you'll be able to download every update for free for the rest of your life. FL Studio is the only daw that has this policy. :)
Its for uplifting Trance but whats difrente between uplifting bass and Classic trance base?
I'd say that in most modern trance the patterns are slightly more complex, because today we have sidechaining and other techniques that enable you to get away with more. If you tried that back in the days it would just sound muddy. Back then, you typically either had a single or two note bassline, and it was usually a single sound. Today we typically layer the mid-basses, so in most tracks there will be several bass sounds all playing as one.
@@FireWalkMusic the 3 base line is usless very creepy
The best time and trance songs is 90s
Uplifting Trance is crap
Nice Bro ...King of Trance ...And your deeply Voice is nice ... Ilove your Videos.....Great Tutorials ...
Thanks! Glad you liked the video :) I've been in love with trance music since I first heard it. It's something magical about those huge supersaw melodies and the deep basslines. :)
Wow best tutorials ever!
Thanks! :)
THis guy is a trance guru!!!
Glad you liked the video :)
hi im a trance noob here and have a question you make a point of the bass lines being out of the way of the kick. is this an important characteristic of trance? in rock and pop and hip hop its opposite and the bass often needs to follow the kick. just curious
YOU ARE AMAZING AND GIVE ME HOPE WITH MUSIC PRODUCTION, THANK YOU. PLEASE KEEP DOING YOU AND KEEP DOING THIS!!
Thanks! Much appreciated :)
This sounds like he is teaching me how to service a starter.
I have another video on my other channel about how I rebuilt a 3S-GTE engine from scratch :D
I was following along fine until 3:40 when it went from 1 to 10 real quick
Just throwing in some samples (loops) to get a groove going in the background to accompany the bass-line :)
Havin the wave form of the kick in the backround of the envelope would be great
No
How do you sidechain is it through the mixer
Hi, check out this video: th-cam.com/video/iO3ccUHqn0E/w-d-xo.html
Bossing saucing
please can i have this drum kit
No
Having that fade setting you were talking about would be pretty cool
Man your music is so awesome 😍
Thanks, much appreciated! :)
how do you make the sub bass sound so good? i cant get it right and its really demotivating
Hi, I have a longer video that shows it in more detail here: th-cam.com/video/f4r1SaNnjPM/w-d-xo.html
@@FireWalkMusic thanks for the response!
Hi, where i can download that sample you use? Thank you
Which one?
@@FireWalkMusic 0:55 Trance Project 1.
Hi Fire Walk ,a question, if you put the kick drum at the same time as the bass as you do so that the kick stands out and feels good with punch but without having conflict with the bass? could you do a tutorial like that? I would appreciate it very much
Hey, thanks for the suggestion. I'll put it on my list :)
yo tengo poopy help
Thank you for this awesome tutorial. Only one thing , why nobody ever talks about the kick and sub must be in the same key ?
You're welcome :) I do have a tutorial about tuning kicks to the key of the track. But I think most people tend to do it by ear. Most professionals I know of usually start by finding a kick and a sub that works well together, and then build upon that. :)
what is the name for this app
FL Studio
did the mix or the track ever hit on net ? at least uploaded to soundcloud at least or something ? would want to hear every inch of that what you have coloured :D
Hi, unfortunately not. It's just something that was created for the purpose of this video. :) You can check out my latest finished track here if you'd like: th-cam.com/video/5w8wOxC4V5Q/w-d-xo.html
One of the best tutorials but don't get how to make the basic kick and bass line
You already have them pre-set, I'm barely getting into to make music. I have big love for trance but it seems so hard lol
Thanks, glad you found it useful. I have some tutorials on how to make kick and bass as well. :)
How did you make the fire walk loops to add at any time?
Hi, I will make a tutorial shortly about how to make your own loops like that. :) Basically, you just load slicex and import the various elements, or chop up existing loops, or both, and then build your own. When you're done you export it and saves it as a wav file for future use. :)
FireWalk ok thanks
Why did you skip the sounddesign part?!
That will be a separate video. I've tried making long videos like that in the past, but it seems that every time I make a video longer than 20 minutes, people think it's too long. So I've decided to stay with short and to the point videos regarding the topic at hand. That means one video for sound design, one for gain staging, one for making a trance drive itself, one for doing the eqing and mixing and so on. If I were to include everything in one video it would potentially be hours. Overall, It's better to divide it into separate videos. That way, people who want to know about just the sound design, or just the layering for example, can then easily find videos regarding that exact subject and watch just that part. :)
Any idea if they came up with the idea in the sampler...(visual representation)....I'm behind in fl studio....haven't updated
Not yet :\
Again a great video, even if it was slightly longer than your others. But it had to be ;-)
Would be amazing if you can make a walkthrough, if your psy-projekt is finished, or even sooner some other psytrance tutorials :D
2:25 Are you sure, that is called Triplets? At least in german "Triole" is another type of bass, which seems to be slower than these 3 sixteenths notes.
To check the ADSR of your kicks, you can also use LFO tool. It has an embedded oscilloscope (left side in the middle I think; but I do not own it, so I can not test it).
I have one request: Could you make a tutorial about this kind of bass Neelix used here: th-cam.com/video/2H1IyExZ6q4/w-d-xo.htmlm50s
I tried and tried but always failed. I dont know how this type is called so I cant even search for it. Would be really helpfull for my current project.
Thanks a lot and keep up this brilliant work
Hey! Thanks for the comment :) Yeah, I'm always trying to make my videos as short as possible, but in this case, as you said, there was a lot to cover. I actually felt like I was rushing it quite a bit. I've seen similar tutorials that's well over an hour. :)
I wanted to focus on the basic midi itself in this one, so unfortunately I didn't get to cover things such as compression, reverb etc. That would have made the video a lot longer. But I'll be making another trance related tutorial later, which will be going into more detail. That video will be a lot longer, but will also include a lot more.
In trance music, this kind of bassline is called tripplets. But in other genres people may have different names for what's basically the same pattern. :)
Yeah, I usually use LFO tool myself. Great plugin! But I realize that not everyone, especially not beginners is going to have access to all kinds of third party plugins, so I always try to show how to do thing using stock plugins whenever I can :)
Sure, I will try to get around to making some psy trance too eventually.
That Neelix track sounds like it has a standard off beat bass that has been compressed to bring out more of the attack. That will help creates that snappy sound on it. It's probably eq'd to bring out that "click" of the bass more too.
In psy trance it's quite common to boost the exact tonal frequency of the note itself. For example if you're in F3 then the frequency of that note would be 174.61 HZ. If you boost at that exact frequency, it will make the tone of the bass stand out in a very unique way. You would typically shave out a bit of the resonance frequency, usually an octave up, at F4. And then there's the matter of making sure that the kick and the bass glues perfectly together, and making sure that they don't overlap at all.
Many psy trance producers prefer to render out the bass as a sample and trigger those instead, because some don't trust the retriggering in the synths.. But also because this makes it easy to cut off the note completely using an envelope to get that short cut off note.
Kind of difficult to explain.. I will try to make a tutorial about this eventually :)
I've learned quite a lot.. My next track will sound like a tripplet bass track.. Thanks for sharing my man ;-)
That's good to hear Jan! I'm looking forward to hearing it. I'm sure that if anyone can nail it on the first attempt, it will be you. :)
Will help me make some trance stuff in future 😊🔥
Those aren't triplets. They're a grouping of three notes yes, but not triplets. Nice video though. Clear concise easy-to-follow. Thanks.

Hi, Fire Walk thank You for the tutorial.
I really like your explanations on Trance BASSLINE it was very clear to understand.However Please make Future bass BASSLINE tutorial in future.Peace:)
Glad you liked it, and thanks for your suggestion. I will put it on my list :)
Hello, I'm your Chinese fan. I think your video is very good. The material is also very good. Can I reprint it to the video website in China? I'll point out the original video address and the author's. I like your video very much.
This changed my life
Glad to hear it :)
Is this a paid transcript? xD anyway nice video
Cool dude. Can u make a techno bassine , tech house?
I'll look into it :)
which plugins you was used?
I don't remember. probably spire or sylenth1
very nice, you make trance bass like A.R.D.I Driffmon and artic moon very profesional sound good, Thanks man
Thanks! Glad you liked the video! :)
I was like OK basic things. Why not a refresh but it will last 2mn. Then... Oh gosh it's a 20mn video. ^^
Bassline is an interesting topic but the basics is not teaching me too much however there are plenty of interesting tips in there.
At a time I was like why aren't you using Layer to send notes to the layered bass but of course that depends if you want to control each bass the same of course.
Very and very helpfull and powerfull video. Many thanks! Like!
Hi there, how do you convert the midi file to 1 tone square wave file & save it. Sorry to bother you about this question but I'm new to all this & I must understand all these things as I need to make my tesla coil play square waves files. I just can't find any free square waves file online. Thanks anyway as your video is very instructive for a beginner like me.
You make it kook so easy! 😁 these ate great man TY!
Thanks, you're welcome :)
Working with other daws. Nonetheless awesome tutorial. Do you also have psytrance tutorials especially of that dope ass project you showed as reference in your tutorial?
Can you please make to make lead patterns and Synth pattern please
Hi, yes it's already on my list :)
@@FireWalkMusic when you are going to upload
Try 1/3 timing for your "triplets".
Those are not triplets BTW. In music theory terms triplets are 3 notes played in the timing of 2. This is just 3 successive quarter notes. Which is correct for trance but yeah, the term isn't triplets
dreamers be like "now im gonna make some tracks and invite all the pretty gurls to do vocals hurr hurr"
😂
Decent tutorial but those arnt "tripplets" in a musical sense they are 16th notes. Tripplets are equally spread across a beat counted in 3s...
1-trip let 2 trip let 3 trip let 4 trip let, the thing in this case is 16 notes with a gap on the 1st 16th so it would be counted 1 e and a 2 e and a 3 e and a 4 e and a
Great Vids! Thanks for your efforts :) Could you possibly give us a rundown of your favourite Keyboard Shortcuts? I know a few but a refresher would be good, Thanks again!
Sure, a lot of people has been asking about something like this lately. I'll definitely consider this for my next video. :)
Cool breakdown tyty
Glad you liked it :)
Where do you get the samples from? I've just got FL after using Reason on and off for years and I notice there's barely any in the FL library, especially the really nice sounding ones you're using.
Hi, there's really not much quality samples included with FL Studio. For great sounding samples you should get hold of some good sample packs.
There's a lot of genre specific packs available on loopmasters for example: www.loopmasters.com/?a_aid=5d496680b59cd
Also, freshly squeezed samples have some good stuff too, especially for trance music.
Thank you so much sir
You're welcome :)
how to use automation clip for the tempo can you please make a video on it
I already have :) Check out this video: th-cam.com/video/b2_Ur5c3Wus/w-d-xo.html
Great tutorial man, i like it. Any thoughts on Avenger VST for Psytrance?
Thanks! I haven't had the time to check it out yet unfortunately :\
What VST Plugins are you using for your basslines?
In this video I believe it was sylenth and spire
@@FireWalkMusic is it possible for you to show us how you created those bass sounds using those two plugins?
@@muzzikproductions Unfortunately I don't think I have the project any more. It was probably made just for the purpose of this video.
I am planning on making more trance spescific tutorials though. Including bass lines. :)
