Sound design tutorials are the ones that make us use our creativity the most! Music is not only about using presets, it's also about creating your own sounds, which is harder to learn, but leads to incredible results.
I love the look of KNOWING he made a good sound at 3:35 - he is so humble but when you hit it just right..... you know. I learn so much from this guy. Ty.
Quick tips related to this video 1) If you have a killer sound but wanna make it into a less stereo sound without moving anything in the serum, go to the global tab, and under the unison, you can change the width of Osc A (left) and Osc B (right), so dont have to have a dedicated effect for it in mixer channel . 2) There are different types of unison under the Global tab>Unison>Mode (says linear by default, so changing it will make the unison arranged differently, you can check how it is arranged by changing the linear to something else, and then tweaking the detune knob and see how the lines have aligned differently. Random mode is freaky and cool XD . 3) If you want a even thicker sounding tone , under the osc tab, under Osc A, unison was 5 in this video, same for B, but having one of the unisons as odd number and another at eve number, say 4 and 5, it'll create a thicker sound. . 4) You dont have to use 4x quality on the serum right away if it's being very heavy on cpu, just don't forget to put it on before exporting. . Hope this helps!
I’ve learned more from In The Mix in the past few months than I have in almost 4 years messing with a DAW with no prior knowledge. Thanks for always getting straight to the essentials.
I was literally hoping that you'd make a tutorial on how to design reese bass. You've made my day and my week. Appreciation all the way from South Africa 🙏🏾.
I owe you almost everything I know since I started to produce my music. I have no words to thank you for what you did and what you are doing. You deserve all the best in this world!
There is so many people who feel plain thankful - myself included. Thanks to Michael I have a microphone, an audio interface and a bunch of amazing people that I met in his community to collaborate with. I can only recommend to join his Discord Community - his latest Videos have the invite link in the description box
bro i have been looking for quality "non screechy dubstep" serum tutorials since I finished every single synthhacker one... you are a legend. thank you!
good choice of wavetables but i would cut the lowend and replace it with a subbass and "direct out" it... it doesnt change the sound alot but makes it much cleaner because its mono below ~150 hz
You can also use maximus or other plugins where you can manipulate single frequency ranges. In maximus, you can just take the low frequency band and put it to mono. Mitght be better, might be worse, depending on what you tryna get.
I’d suggest using A1STEREOCONTROL it has the option which is called “safe bass” and anything below 150 will be left in mono but you can adjust it however you want to
Sir, i am following you since 2 years and this lockdown gave me real chance to see your videos carefully and actually puting everything to test I am really very happy my songs are improving day by day its getti soothing to ears, no problem with bass getting distorted, new ideas, new creation. Thank you for putting this content for free with all my heart I appreciate you for making tutorial videos. I am sounding better with the songs I produce probably a little more practicing and will be good to put my songs on streaming sites.
god you just read my mind! I was trying to do this kind of bass because I hear it more and more in trap music and I find it pretty dark and powerful. thanks a lot for your videos, I learn so much things!
This is just the most delightfully wholesome sound design. I love it. It’s still educational, engaging, and I love that you show that there are still a lot of options
Dude I tell you. I subbed a while ago and really love your content. TodayI needed a Reese Bass and today you posted exactly what I needed. It was destiny ;) .Thank you man!
1:45 true. in some genres using a wide and rich bass is essential...such as synthwave where most of the times we don't even use a sub bass to keep it as authentic (as i like to call it) as possible
You're amazing, and thank you for sharing your knowledge with the world. You're truly changing lives in these dark times. You may think a simple reese tutorial is nothing, although acquiring knowledge can lead to someone having days of happiness. Thank you.
The delivery of your tutorials is incredible. You have the art of public speaking down to a T bro. Informative, very clear and straight to the point. Thank you.
So right - smiling brings a lot of confidence and positivity accross. I have to remember that more again when I teach. It makes a huge impact on the kids (also works when trick-training cats interestingly)
I swear this is some premium stuff.. Well at least for me because I'm learning. I guess the difference with Michael is that he knows what he's talking about and his explanations are so concise and crisp. I appreciate you man👏🙌 I spend hours enjoying watching you tutor.🙏
I've been following this channel for a while already, but these synth sound design vids are my favorite thing you've done. I'm trying to incorporate more synths into my songs (indie rock I'd say) and while I often have the sound I want in my head, I can't always get it with my synth. This really helps me to understand the instrument more and more.
This is just what I was looking for, and I didn't even know what this type of bass sound is called. great explanation, it helped me a lot. Thank you sir!
I feel like lately the trend is LOTS of stereo bass info that would never translate in a club system, maybe because no one is going to clubs anymore and it's better to just give people great headphone/car listening experiences. mono compatibility is becoming increasingly irrelevant, only stores and bad phones don't have stereo systems
I think it also has to do with a misconception on what 'keep the bass mono' is meant for. It's a good idea to keep frequencies in the low end mono (and controlled!) in that sense because that doesn't translate well anyway (you don't really perceive sub bass for example as very directional). But that's not the same as keeping all bass instruments full frequency in mono. A bit of wideness in the lower mids of bass synths and such sounds great!
I always thought the reason for mono bass was to do with vinyl pressing being physically incompatible with stereo bass? Most club systems run mono anyway asfak
man.... u r a pro... :o every time testing or creating a patch for a particular synth I get lost in the jungle of possibilities of parameter combinations and get frustrated and might lose what I was going for.. :o You seem to just go forward so cool-minded and objectively and make the path to the end product seem so linear and purposeful with no need of hesitation. I wish I could learn that skill...
a deep dive on the serum matrix mod would be awesome. video idea: taking simple front end patches and morphing them with the matrix to make more complex professional sounds.
This is an epic tutorial. Thank you so much! There is still a lot of terms and words I don't understand, but I'm getting there. Because you are so good at explaining everything.
I discovered that the asymmetry distortion makes bassy sounds sound really good like in kicks. It also makes percussions sound unique if you are going for that. I just thought it would be helpful to some people if they see this comment while strolling down.
Thank you so much!!!!! I really love the intro and your sound design series, I too sound design my sounds in serum but its generally related to house music but because you of I learned multi genre sound design on serum :)
Your videos are really amazing and makes life a lot easier. Please make an in depth video on serum including everything it has to offer. Never stop making videos. You are awesome!! ❤️
I have been using "In The Mix Serum Essentials" for a while now and I am in love with it. I really find the type of presets I am looking for. The presets are top Notch Quality and Really improving the way I used to work with my Sound Design. Also the "SOUND DESIGN" Guidelines from Michael is really upto the Mark. I LOVE IT! REALLY A MASTER CLASS GOING ON HERE!

Random mode is freaky and cool XD

3) If you want a even thicker sounding tone , under the osc tab, under Osc A, unison was 5 in this video, same for B, but having one of the unisons as odd number and another at eve number, say 4 and 5, it'll create a thicker sound.
.
4) You dont have to use 4x quality on the serum right away if it's being very heavy on cpu, just don't forget to put it on before exporting.

Hope this helps!
yes that was actually very usefull
Even after producing for 2 years and being a fairly experienced musician I still find a ton of useful stuff out of this guy's tutorials. Very cool

That last message was inspiring, soothing and refreshing. Musicians should remember that production is art.

this is the best reece bass tutorial I've ever seen and I've watched alot of tutorials on this bass! thanks alot

Showing the sound in the context of a simple mix is kinda next level.
You're amazing, and thank you for sharing your knowledge with the world. You're truly changing lives in these dark times. You may think a simple reese tutorial is nothing, although acquiring knowledge can lead to someone having days of happiness. Thank you.
not only shows how to make that sound but also explains serum.
That was really helpful!

Me thinking in mind:-
How to mak....
In the mix :-
Here you go....
Exactly!!
Literally thinking of a bass like this, I watched bunch of vids just to remind myself that this gent is the goat!
definitely would love more tutorials on Serum... This synth just blows my mind.
The fact that you always smile while explaining has a huge effect man. I can't help but notice it and it makes these tutorials so much more enjoyable.

@@nanogon7767 sup
pretty much any hip hop/r&b producer will be using a reese bass at some point or another. this one is an absolute GEM. thanks man.
A masterclass in sound design in 10 minutes. And such a dope sound
These sound design tutorials are amazing, keep doing them! Often I hear sounds I like in music, but generally I have no idea how to recreate them.
Today i was struggling to make reese bass..and here's the tutorial . Thanks Michael in the mix.
I did this on the new Vital, sounds great
Incredible. Immediately bought the Essential pack. Cheers mate!
any tutorial from you it's welcome! Thank you!
This is just what I was looking for, and I didn't even know what this type of bass sound is called. great explanation, it helped me a lot. Thank you sir!
Finally! I've been waiting for this for this so long! Now I can make a reeze bass as well!
I found a wild Sanoy

This is the best video i have watched. Learned alot about Serum as well. Thank you always 🙏🏼
I'm glad it helped! Serum is a beast!
Every single time i come to in the mix i am never dissappointed
One of the most helpful instructions out there. Thank you
Wow this video as perfect timing because I was about to ask how to make a Reese Bass, amazing content my dude
Great bass sound, great tutorial! Thanks Michael.
Thanks Brian!
@@inthemix I really like your tutorials because I always understand you well Good teacher.......god bless you ....(in the Mix)
I loved your sound design tutorial so much and is very helpful.
Please keep on making more.....
Found you some days ago and you help me a lot getting started into FL. Really like your Stuff. Keep going
This had so much good information on utilizing serum! Thank you!
A gorgeous sound and great step-by-step instructions. Thanks for sharing!
What kind of jealous as* you have to become to dislike a free video tutorial ?
Thanks Michael. Love you from India...
Every video keeps getting better and better! Thank you for this content!
You are always my first and best music teacher..... Love from India🇮🇳
I'm so grateful you made this tutorial I needed this.
I feel like lately the trend is LOTS of stereo bass info that would never translate in a club system, maybe because no one is going to clubs anymore and it's better to just give people great headphone/car listening experiences. mono compatibility is becoming increasingly irrelevant, only stores and bad phones don't have stereo systems
I think it also has to do with a misconception on what 'keep the bass mono' is meant for. It's a good idea to keep frequencies in the low end mono (and controlled!) in that sense because that doesn't translate well anyway (you don't really perceive sub bass for example as very directional). But that's not the same as keeping all bass instruments full frequency in mono. A bit of wideness in the lower mids of bass synths and such sounds great!
You should still care a bit for mono compatibility. Many people own bluetooth speakers that play music in mono.
I mean, simple M/S EQing go a long way and it's rather quick.
Cant you just fix that by having club systems force the bass into mono?
I always thought the reason for mono bass was to do with vinyl pressing being physically incompatible with stereo bass? Most club systems run mono anyway asfak
Thanks; now I can finally add bass, to my drum & bass.
4:32 I love how your body also moves along with the pitch ever so slightly XD
In this tutorial you can really see how much Micheal loves reese bass :D
Nice video mate!! You explain everything so well

My fav tutorial so far!! Good job!
Thanks man ! More sound design videos, I love it. How to make a instruments, which sounds organic might be good topic, I think.
Somthing to watch in the sun 👌
These sound tutorials are great! Would love to see more.
Thank you, the pace you go at is so easy to follow and you explain things sooo well im actually learning:)
Wow, been following your channel for longer... and now as I'm getting into Serum, you are there showing the way! Awesome!
Thanks for all you do...I am really grateful....beyond words
a deep dive on the serum matrix mod would be awesome. video idea: taking simple front end patches and morphing them with the matrix to make more complex professional sounds.
I like this dirty distorted bass. Sounds amazing. Appreciate for the tutorial :)
Awesome tutorial 🔥
5:05 ok Michael, I do what you say:
"alright, which reverb and delay plugin would fit the best?"
LOL put Valhalla Shimmer XD
i really appreciate you man, all your content is really what a young producer needs. 🙏
This is pretty much they channel to go to for all FL and FL related things. and get a clear easy explenation on how things work.
So nice explanation! Thank you sir!
I would love a Sytrus tutorial on the matrix, seems like it could be a very powerful tool
Just what i needed
Really this is very useful we need how to make voice lead in serum
This is an epic tutorial. Thank you so much!
There is still a lot of terms and words I don't understand, but I'm getting there. Because you are so good at explaining everything.
Excellent stuff Mr Mix.
Another cool video.... excited to dive ryt into it!!! Proud to be the first viewer!!!! Can u add this sound in ur description??
