Which synths should we use to make the Electro Bass? I don't understand that part

[katehtown]

Haha your comment at the end... I produce some allright dance music, but kick a lot more ass at video games.

[absurdny]

@katehtown He didn't even say that.....

[tuffpuppy1]

I'm tinkering with these kind of basses on my Casio VZ-1 Synth (8-oscillator, semi-modular digital BEAST!) and the little bits on getting the texture with multiple oscillators was canny helpful! Great vid, gets right to the point. :)

[badrider138]

Dude thanks so much, your the biggest help ever, the sample pack you have are sick and these videos work wonders. honestly thanks

[algebraparish]

i have a quick question how did you get the thor keyboard part into the sequincer. Also how were you able to record the midi keyboard. I can hear the thor patch that I chose when I mess around with it but when i press record it wont record. I need your help!

[SPGScavengerHunt]

Awesome

[chocpoc]

For the people asking for the notes I was in the same situatuion, and still a noob but to make same notes u have to use the pencil tool on block mode then find the right key and put the notes, for the first note u need to make it a little longer then use a snap 16 (maybe others but i used that) to put the high notes is tricky but u need to find the right spacing, as a note the fourth note is a bit far away from the 3rd.

pm if ya need more help and hope this will help :p

saludos

[taynorHUD]

[imababyshark]

[australiandj]

on the scream 4- spin damage control to digital=nice when eq'ed=)

[paparoach21]

Shit man that information is so useful thanks so much! How on earth did you learn all this? I'm learning Reason myself, and just a question with your note placement, for the bass notes did you just pencil them in at specific points along the way or did you use another way to put them in, if that makes sense? The answer will be off a great help!!

[kmansanders]

Thanks Man awesome stuff.

[FLStudioSongs]

he says the "P" so funny xD ..."The P!art..."

[famousestyle]

what is the program ?

[LIQUOANDRISH]

i love you, do you want to marry me

[VortexProducer]

Even though this tutorial is genre specific you can use all of these techniques in any song you produce. I think its worth watching all of the 7 day tutorials you will learn LOADS!

[nasimbahal]

dude you are amazing!

[MrBlankiito]

omg, u rox !

[Zebedex]

this is a good tutorial but i have no idea how to make the melody of the bassline sound good like i dont know how to make a good melody for the bassline.

[justindpillow]

you might just be jesus.... really

[TheRealEricLam]

omg can you do a logic tutorial

[JaySparkstv]

how do i patch this or do i have to to the whole thing over again everytime i want to use it?

[MatrixHealing]

Aswesome. You are clearly quite knowledgeable. What is the program you are using?

[psychofrog123]

@MatrixHealing

talking to me ? I´m using Reason 4,as he does in his Video ;)

I have to open the Combinator,then Thor,and then i have to load the notes into Thor or what ? i don´t know how ?

[psychofrog123]

nice Vid

May someone explain how he put in the notes ? i just dont get it :(

[kakashigaiden24]

wtfg!!!

[DJEvanC]

[jin1405]

Thank you for the very informative video. Thumbs up!

[Jamzboi]

I hate youtube now too many ads

[livingelectr000]

ELECTRO HOUSE FLP!~

/watch?v=rE2aQAvVSwI

[musicchannel14]

where did you learn all this stuff ??!! it helps so much thank you :D

[Pxmbbq]

Cool!

[blastdrone]

this is unrelated.. but i cant believe youtube has started putting advertisements before videos. i just had to sit through an ad on shaving cream haha.

[mcnodya]

it is amazing!!!!!

[StillThereRocks]

thats very nice, good idea !

you should make a 7 day toturial which shows how to make Minimal-House ;-)

[ailanissya19]

Hi...i added my new video..

Check it out..Rating,add, sub me..

See u..

[Davinci110]

I think I'll try out this Reason 4 software...I hope it's not a piece of shit like Ableton:D

[UberAlbal]

ableton rules, you suck

good day sir

[Joebdammed]

HAHA! I have both and they both RUUUL3!

[ladusha123]

ok than whats better than reason 4 and ableton, fl studio ?! lol

[apollotm]

fl studio is a toy. the only way to get something out of it is by using tons of vst's ... which you can do in any DAW. Out of the box is quite shitty.... good start point though if you're new to music production

[apollotm]

you are joking right? ... OMFG... i bet you like the e-jay series =))

[pokerockmario123]

I use Ableton and Reason. Ableton is not a piece of shit, it's just a bit harder to use at the beginning.

[Kasak1984]

Thanks man, your videos are very helpful!

[tbarsnessvfx]

very nice!!

[trilobyte3]

Thanks a lot for your tutorials!

Even if you don't want to make music in Reason in exactly these styles, it's really helpful to see and hear and explanation of how the various features of Reason work.

[mindlessranter]

Great tips. Although, I wouldn't say the chromatic scale isn't melodic. It's just the notes have equal weight as oppose to a major or minor scale or some variation of (pentatonic/bebop). But I'm sure you already knew that. Although, I'd turn up those higher frequencies on the feedback and give it some real edge. Maybe automate it? So the song starts off soft and as the song progresses turn up the frequency and really blow them away in the peak of the song.

[jeanbedo]

Dave tu est un freakin awesome dude !

you could be a teacher.

merci !

[hanfbrot]

i want this stuff from reason as hardware :D

[ray8up]

@hanfbrot We all do :)

[Chumleh]

No filtering on your house bass? Gimme some filter sweeping, man!

[MandalorianSquid]

lol you are hilarious

[MikkelAagaard]

the voice RIFF sounds sick @ 3:02

[Nisp]

ROFL!

[GRIFINR]

You would be great at making really cheesy tutorials lol

[YungHoodz]

Makes me mad that I had to learn all this crap by myself for like 5 years and now all you guys get these tutorials on youtube

[2007niko2007]

haha

[cardiganclub]

Or you could stop being a douche and use your vast knowledge to make Reason 4 tutorials...

[kotch84]

super cool

[troudukuducha]

Thank you very much, do you have any suggestion on bass for tribal?

[IEatHarlots]

This tutorial was very helpful. You really know what you're talking about. I'm looking forward to applying some of the things I learned here to my own music in fruity loops =]

[vojakst]

All of your videos are very usefull ,I just want to thank you for sharing knowledge

[elwhiskey]

ok, now we're rocking : )

[Dries15]

Hey dave, how do you know where you need to change the equalizer that will effect a particular sound. For example, when you have a piano in the song, how do you know the Hz or Khz of it?

Thanks in advance, you rock!

[ttdantt10384]

add a MClass EQ to your instrument thats playing your piano, raise the gain by about 3-4db, take the bandwith down to a narrow point, then while the section is playing move your frequiency up and down slowly till you find the point you want to emphasise the most is sounding louder, then adjust bandwith and gain to suit.

[ttdantt10384]

that was a reply to dries15

[jackl137]

How long can a day be while waiting for the next part?

[DigiRarefaction]

Perfect!!

[colinpoh]

Thanks for this vid mate. I've been having difficulty getting my drums pumping, now I know. :D

Will post my response after I fix it.

Cheers.

[electro4groupies]

learn sidechain compression makes your kick drums real fat

[colinpoh]

Already know that. Cheers.

[naffers69]

great tutorial!

[Azzieshaw]

haha nice accopella around 3.00-3.05. dave got his g on.

[wwwboyinabandcom]

Hah, spotted.

I have a sudden urge to make a tutorial on some grimey rap...

[thatsfornoobs]

@wwwboyinabandcom plawks?

[jaypiko]

What would you consider to be the best commercial refill to purchase for an individual who aspires to produce progressive house?

[wwwboyinabandcom]

I don't work with refills - I make my own patches :)  I feel it's better to do that!

Drum Samples are worth getting though - primeloops have some ace ones.

[djcoma1200]

Do you know of a site or guide that breaks down how synths work so I can better understand how to make a noise that I hear in another song? I understand the basics of how synths and their osc's work, but not fully. Thanks! And btw your tuts kick ass!!!

[wwwboyinabandcom]

Other than wikipedia? I don't - I've learned what I know from reading manuals and wiki research - that and a LOT of trial and error!

Google it though, I'm sure there'll be something (It's difficult to find engaging reading about the inner workings of oscillators in my experience, though!)

[jaypiko]

BRILLIANT. Top notch work mate, thanks.

[NewRisingSong]

the mastering suite is enabled ? great work, thanks!

[wwwboyinabandcom]

Not yet, the mastering will be covered in Day 7 as usual :)

[NewRisingSong]

So the idea is to work with a bypassed mastering suite? (sorry for the many questions but i think this is important )

[wwwboyinabandcom]

Yeah, add the mastering after you've mixed it. The mastering suite isn't technically bypassed in the video, just there's no preset applied to it yet :)

[TheBassHeavy]

Great video Dave!

[Mattdem]

Yesss Quality, thanks alot Dave. Real good tutorial
