Hey. I just wanted to start out by saying that I really enjoy your videos. You're VERY clear and straightforward and everything you do couldn't be easier to follow. Great work! One question I have for you though is this: Why not just use abletons built in freeze and flatten functions to quickly turn your massive sub bass into a sample?

[DJVespers]

@psionic1212 Hey mate. Thanks for the comment! Yes, you certainly could use freeze and flatten. Although I like to export to create my own sample library sometimes and there's always more than one way to do something. Cheers!

yo ves. too much of something in a band can accumulate mud right? so with that said, how do i make sure i don't produce a muddy mix if my sub kick and bass guitar need that low end range without mudding up my track?

[DJVespers]

@acedaface954 Side chain compression ;)

[DJVespers]

@acedaface954 Side chaining is what will allow your kick to punch through your sub bass layer. When the kick hits, the bass frequencies the compressor is on will be attenuated. Check out my video on side chaining on my channel. Cheers!

Hey man. First let me start off by saying great tutorial.. Now my question, when I create a sub bass, there's a brief crackle at the beginning of every note I put into my piano roll. It doesn't matter what octave I'm in. I've tried adjusting envelopes, etc, and even exported a sub bass track by itself to mp3 and listened to it on itunes, just to confirm that it's not my DAW and it's not. I'm getting annoyed by now with it. Got any ideas?

[DJVespers]

@SleeplessCityDub Hmmm, that's a tough one. I would usually start by backing off the Attack on the envelope quite a bit. What instrument are you using for sub? Slower attack is your best bet. Or a pitch envelope that starts the pitch higher to give a thump. Cheers!

[RobK496]

@DJVespers @SleeplessCityDub I'm not sure if anyone answered this already, but this problem is most like caused by the sinewave. In the oscillator menu, Just set the Phase to Restart via Gate and then to 180 degrees. Should fix the problem, or at least a whole lot of it. After that, a little bit of messing around with the attack should do the trick completely.

@SleeplessCityDub Yo Sleepless!! had the same problem. What i did was I chopped of the very first segment of the subbass off, like the first 2 seconds and then re-exported it and changed the name. Throw it back into the sampler and you should be good.

thanks

[jacob808808]

having the same problem as the guys below with the zero crossings taking the sine from operator. i probably could mess around with the sample to get rid of them but i'd like to know the correct way of sorting it (within ableton native instruments if possible) thanks man

[Slargam]

@eldjswett I have the same problem. :(

[wasupthere]
