The amount of knowledge you have is unbelievable. Are you working in a studio or this subject just happens to really click with you as a hobby? Amazing man.
@DashGlitch many thanks for sharing with us. I'm working on dialing in a bass technique. I have about 10ish hours accumulated so far and still tweaking to find the sweet spot.. I'll get one note sounding good, then add a variation, and it will sound worse than a dying duck🤣 it's fun tho. the smallest of changes can do a lot. Before watching this video, I thought a baseline was just 3 shorten notes, and you're done.. the EQ and gain make a lot of sense for getting the right side-chain and phasing tho, for lack of better understanding. It'd be nice to get bass and kick down then just make a ton of presets to jam out to.
I'm using a noteTracked Dynamic EQ (UVI Shade). For me, this approach is a game changer. I can use this for everything. Even in very complex situations, e.g. removing resonances from your favorite piano. Once configured, this saves a lot of time
Bitwig studio has internal modulator as keytracking, and I can use it with EVERY parameter internal of the devices or the VSTs too ^_^ I can do keytrack harmonics EQ with FabFilter Pro-Q3 too, if I want! One of the reasons because I chose Bitwig as DAW (it's absolutely the best to me, for electronic music production!). I saved my own presets and I have different pages of Macros (Bitwig has all the macros you want, not only 8 as Ableton live!) pre-assigned on the harmonics. So I only have to boost or cut, watching the internal spoectrum analyzer
This is a cool trick and Serum and Vital are both great for bass but so are Hive, ANA2, Zebra, Phase-4 in Bitwig even and others, but these synths don't have partial editors so keytracking EQ is still a useful tool. It's a pain in the ass in Cubase, Studio One and Logic ie you have to rely on third party plugins like SurferEQ or Equilibrium but if you're a Bitwig or Live Suite user it's cheap and easy using built-in tools and your EQ of choice.
Im with you on this subject. You should basically aim to create sound you dont *have to* eq afterwards. Not saying that using a eq is bad but the approach should be to create a sound you dont have to mangle much afterwards.
Gotta agree with that, maybe just going 25% in that direction would have been enough, but i guess it's a question of taste. Still, there's some pretty good and useful techniques being showcased.
8:43 - Serum has a built in "resample to wavetable" option as well ;) it even allows to drag and drop the current patch as rendered sample from serum to anywhere else if you drag from a very specific place within serum. Its kinda an easter egg.
@@DashGlitch You can also import wavetables at a certain frame size or even pitch into Serum by opening the wavetable editor and typing either an up to four digit number or note into the box that says (enter formula) and then dragging the sample you want to import into the editor. This is also covered in the manual under "advanced import" if you wish to learn more ;)
Iv started profucing with your help a year ago, and keeps coming back to ceck on ya bro every once in a while and awssome to see youre evolving as well! Cheers de Israel♥️
That "resynthesize to wavetable" feature is so useful! One observation (maybe not important): by disabling the filter and then enabling the filter on the resampled waveform, you've effectively moved all the effects from post-filter to pre-filter, so the sound might be a little different... am I right?
bass went from sounding perfect, really good at 05:57 to sounding very bad after all that processing at 12:47, at this point sounding hollow and too percussive...

worked in retail selling studio gear for many years, but it's just my passion now

Thank you man. I produce psytrance for more than 20years and you serve for every problem i ever had a perfekt solution.

07:30 Feck! That is such an ingenious decision by Vital's creator.

Great content Dash, I'm hooked on this channel at the moment. Keep the knowledge coming 👏🏻. Great production too! Thanks.
Dope love your tutorials thank you for sharing.

Apprently so, I only new about the osc level render, but honestly haven’t been using it much the past year so it fell under the radar

Excellent tip. Now you got me wanting to make some sci-trance.

Great! Vital is such a powerhouse. Thanks for sharing your creativity and knowledge again.
was surprised by seing AA there. awesome!
Oh man that's great. Thanks for the tip. With all that vital offers I completely forgot its additive synthesis capabilities ^^
Wow thats a smart way to tune & eq the sound!!! thanks
Killer tips there Dash! Nice one.
Awesome and helpful. Really digged the bass in the final section.
thanks from brazil bro, youre amazing!
CPU gave in bc of the several Acustica plugins I guess :D I was surprised to see you using AA plugins... great content, thank again! :)
Acustica plugins are cpu hogs indeed lol
@@nofood1 only if I could use a few of them in one session... it would mean I have a high end rig :D
Thanks !
Das ist einfach nur verrückt aber geil

yep that should be true, because the effects are per default post-filter as far as I know.
Thanks!!!!
ok ich glaube du sprichst deutsch. Hast du Vital Presets? du bist ja total verrückt :D
bass went from sounding perfect, really good at 05:57 to sounding very bad after all that processing at 12:47, at this point sounding hollow and too percussive...
Fuck that resynthesize trick is amazing !! :) :)
wow wow
Unbedingt 🕺🔥😘
i just press X,X,X,R1,R2 and everything works (cheat enabled)
badass
