How To Make A Zedd Style Electro Bass

[bigdaveo11]

hey craig great tutorial. can you explain a bit on how to compression/limiting to control peaks of a sound especially when resampling, I am unsure on when/how to use what especially when using them as an Effect to shape than a mixing tool. If you dont already that have a tut on this. Really appreicate your time and effort, makes a world of a difference. Cheers.

Ahhh Craig ! thanks man! :D NAILED it, legit the only one i have personally found on youtube that gets this spot on. :)

Zedd has an even better tutorial on his channel ;)

[117DJAckson]

Sylenth1 is what zedd uses...

sylenth1 + dada life sausage fattner + omnicide mid frequency disortion = tommy trash/dada life/zedd bassline

[craigwilliamsmusic]

@117DJAckson If you could make a tut on how they construct the sounds that would be awesome. I also know for a fact that Tommy Trash uses Guitar rig for most of his lead sounds running a single oscillator through it and just tweaking the crap out of it.

[117DJAckson]

@craigwilliamsmusic yeah sure.. yeah i was talking to tommy a couple of weeks ago, and ya he said guitar rig, but alot of these people that will watch this video wont have a guitar rig or even a software emulation, but what ive stated is pretty damn close

[craigwilliamsmusic]

@117DJAckson I tried to vote your comment up but it didn't let me. I totally agree with what you say :)

[117DJAckson]

@craigwilliamsmusic thanks dude, yeah when i get some decent monitors ill throw up a tut asap!

[FeedMeTechno]

@craigwilliamsmusic dont use dada lifes sausauge fattener.. it is just a brickwall limiter, meaning it just makes the sound as loud as possible. use the right amount of limiting or compression based on the sound... for ohmicide use around 200-2500hz with the middle filter, around 20db, with the inital patch. if using sylenth.. use a lowered saw i guess but i use other waveforms.. bitcrush it a little bit 24 to 1 around 10db, and EQ it where it is right, around 100-200 and 2500-5000

[craigwilliamsmusic]

@FeedMeTechno thanks for the heads up. I'll have a play with those settings I don't really use ohmicide. The sausage fattener is just a compressor and like most compressors if you push it hard it turns from a compressor into a limiter (on a normal compressor this is the ratio) I tend to use the Sf to add some colour to the sound and maybe tame it a little if there are some high transients but i hardly look to it for compression unless i want to squeeze the life out of something hahahahaha

[FeedMeTechno]

@craigwilliamsmusic yeah its just kinda not a great plugin haha its just two things put together. i mean it sounds good, but after a while it kinda kills the sound. just not for me haha. but nice tutorial man!

[FeedMeTechno]

@FeedMeTechno and i just made a song with almost exact zedd bass from that one song "shut the f-ing door" or something. im putting in on youtube in ten minutes if you want to see it ill send it to you with my settings and ohmicide if you want :)

just if you want that is. i just like sharing music

[craigwilliamsmusic]

@FeedMeTechno Hell yeah have you got a link????

[Redshadow151]

@117DJAckson Hey man just curious how you know that?!

[MrDaily3000]

@117DJAckson What's omnicide mid frequency disortion? I can't find it :/ Thanks man.

[Sprangeful]

Ammazing bas

[craigwilliamsmusic]

@Sprangeful hell yeah I can see why this guy used it so much

[fcspooker21]

You're horrible in explaine it for newbies!

[carlkiessig]

@fcspooker21 if your a newbie then look up some tutorials on the basics and educate yourself first. If every tutorial was made for newbies then they would have to be twice as long and more boring because he would be explaining stuff that most of us know. This is a good tutorial and as I said watch a tut on the basics before you complain that this one is horrible.

[amustb]

random platform to do this, but I am mildly infuriated that zedd's music has this sound in so many of his recent tracks. Its interesting, it tickles the ear, but its OVERDONE

/rant

[craigwilliamsmusic]

@amustb everyone is entitled to there opinion. I'm a little over the glitch style electro myself.

[DiamantScene]

Absynth brought me here

[Theladylebanon]

thanks for putting this up. could i load this into any program??

[craigwilliamsmusic]

@Theladylebanon thanks for watching. Most of the plug-ins I used were third party with the exception of the EQ and Compressor, but these can be easily changed for your DAW's native plug-ins. I think (and you can hear it in the video) is the Camel Phat.

[tomnyll]

big thx it s a great tuto !! 

[craigwilliamsmusic]

@tomnyll your welcome :)
