proof that the best tutorials come from the most obscure places. i'm gonna use this to make darksynth

[@Stickadonkonit]

Nice technique... Have been trying something similar but didn't think to use the noise osc, I always overlook it

[@MuteProduction]

yeah until no that long ago i pretty much ignored it all together, pretty powerful though as a mod source!

[@Yobott]

this guy is more scientist (psyientist? ok ill let myself out) than musician lol, but again really solid technique being shown, unique approach!
only thing FWIW, the oscilloscope line is pretty hard to see, it's sorta distorted (highest res, highest backlight), maybe it's my screen but if you have an option making the line bigger/fatter i would recommend it for future videos!

[@MuteProduction]

I do apologize, i had meant to set the scope to be filled in so you guys can see it easier but i forgot. I’ll try to remember next time! Hopefully the point is still clear though :)

[@stelthtenau]

Lol. I spent time recently doing the opposite and adding sine the the first cycle

[@VirtualLight]

In the end i've always ended up using "processed" basses.. I dunno why but they end up sounding more natural

[@MuteProduction]

I totally agree. however this trick is quite handy for processed basses too mostly because i find it’s cleaner/ more responsive than transient shapers tend to be.

[@MuteProduction]

That said i do like these pre-baked patches for quickly sketching ideas rather than taking my time to get a nice bass rolling and forgetting the idea i had in the first place

[@Naseem384]

How do you make your bass sound so polished? Mine always sounds messy and muddy

[@MuteProduction]

i tend to create complex curves for the filter by going in the matrix creating multiple of the same modulation (env2 -> filter cutoff) then use different modulation depth and curves for each one. i find this gives the tightest patches, particularly for the more fullon style basses.

[@eliaszerano3510]

why don"t you use the lfo directly as modulation source ?

[@MuteProduction]

because this way only the first cycle will be effected no matter what pitch or bpm I play

[@Kikudoxx]

@@MuteProductionbut if you draw the shape in the 1/16th frame shorter, so that you only affect the first cycle it should work the same? Or am I thinking wrong?

[@DjSoulsMap]

do you have a tutorial for this kick?

[@MuteProduction]

no I don’t have any kick tutorials yet. One day I might do one

[@DjSoulsMap]

@@MuteProduction please! That kick sounds perfect to me 👌

[@n.i.c.dj7]

How is it in vital?

[@MuteProduction]

it’s much easier in vital, draw the same shape in an Lfo then set it to Envelope mode and keytracking.

[@n.i.c.dj7]

@@MuteProduction thanks👍

[@theunconciousmind7314]

Disagree. This is too much analyses. There is much easier way then this. You are overcomplicated a million times. This is the problem when you pick up all the info they tell you on youtube... all this little tipps amd tricks are mostly overcomplicating the this even more. There is much easier way then this

[@MuteProduction]

that’s fair enough if that’s how you feel but generally i find this far more effective and consistent than most transient enhancer plugins

[@guyincognito3231]

Send us a track man, keen to hear how your bass sounds

[@stephankreidl1999]

Mute is a Cyber Wizard.
Magic knows no boundaries

[@Yobott]

by all means, we're waiting for your much better technique
it's easy to say negative things bro, it's ok to think this but its lame spreading negativity and make no effort yourself

[@Mussi93]

Seems like you're a very impatient person that doesn't like to delve deep into things.
