      My all time favorite, anything music theory related to psytrance. Also, arrangement, meta behind the 'gadgetry', mindset, workflow even philosophy.... but i suppose these are kinda off topic for the profile of the channel, I'd love to get a glimpse nontheless :D

    Might be of interest, Saturn in the first place with the 3 crossovers already introduces kinda heavy phase alteration. I used to use sometimes even 10 different plugins with different D/W kinda New York compression style, just to achieve a certain shape... Still vividly remember for the the time when I learned about it back then.... sorta like when u 1st learn about side chain... paradigm shift xd

    Excellent! clear and concise explanation, you open ways to do things right as ever, even when I don't have Serum I can apply your directions in any capable synth. Thank you. Which would be a replacement for Waves Vitamin? I actually use some great and inexpensive tools from W.A. Productions, but I would like to learn about some alternatives out there.

    • @MiddleD
      @MiddleD  Před 3 lety +1

      Hey Carlos, thanks you! You can try out any multiband saturator that you can get your hands on really, unfortunately there aren't many out there. For multiband compressor it should be easier to find tons of them and, honestly, there is no right answer, you really need to dig in and take your time testing them out until you find one that satisfies your taste the most!

  • @BeyondTheVeil
    @BeyondTheVeil Před 2 lety

    Can someone help me understand what the benefit is of sampling the bass from Serum rather than just processing it directly? The only thing I can think of is that using the sampler might add a punchier sound because it's being cut off during the sample rather than a tone. But this for type of basic rolling bassline, couldn't you achieve the same result with an arp set to 1/16th and side chain on the first beat? Or is it just a matter of preference? Thanks for the clairfication!

    Is there any specific reason to sample the sound, except processing time? I ask that because I think without that you have more control over the sound, for example if you want tou create notes where you bring up the filter.

    Incredible this class! Let me ask you a question, the volume values ​​of the bass and kick, do you still make more volume adjustments during the mix? People always tell me that the kick has to have a ceiling of -11. I know there is no volume rule.... but i think the question is worth it! Very good class bro, continue with the videos! :D

    • @MiddleD
      @MiddleD  Před 3 lety +1

      Thank you Rodolfo! Yes, I tend to adjust the levels a little bit as I build up the mix, but the ceiling (-11dB vs -9dB vs -6dB) does not matter as much as the balance of volume between all of your elements, obviously you need to keep a certain ceiling so that your mix has headroom in the master channel when you all of your elements being played together. Make sure that your kick and bass are the loudest elements in your mixes, no matter what your ceiling level is. Also, kick and bass need to have roughly the same loudness between them.

  • @qilinpsy

    Heyy I have a problem with my bass. It has a lot (like, a ton) of low end and even if i try to cut it AND it has a lot of highs, it sounds more like bwwwwwwwwwwww together with the kick. Kick and Bass are alligned though. Thing is that I do not use Serum but Sytrus for the synthesis.

  • @carptackula7536
    @carptackula7536 Před rokem +1

    Although this demonstrates an interesting / creative use of multi band splitters as eq shapers (because they change the phase relationships), how can you talk about phase without looking at the resulting phase changes to the BASS and the relationship that this has with the KICK via an oscilloscope?
    I would imagine that first 1/16th note would have changed in its phase relationship to the kick...? 🤔

  • @Killerbeast3
    @Killerbeast3 Před rokem

    Great Video! It helped me a lot to understand, what I'm doing wrong in my bass progression. I always had Problems with the Loudness of the Bass and matching it with the kick. Now I know a way to avoid this Probelm, with setting a Limiter on the bass. That's what I needed, otherwise my way of creating a bass was near to your kind of production, but yours is a bit better. So I will try it in this way, I think it will sounds a way better as it does actually. So a big thanks for this Video, there a so many kinds of tutorials how to produce a Bassline, but many of them are lacking informations of what is needed and the explanation why I should do that. And it is all well explained here. I love it! That's what new producers need, a good tutor like you!

    • @MiddleD
      @MiddleD  Před 3 lety +1

      There are many free saturators and transient shapers out there, unfortunately free multiband transient shapers and saturators are really hard to come by. But when it comes to multiband compression you can use the native that is included in your DAW (Ableton, Logic, Cubase, FL Studio etc) and it will do the job!

    Thanks for the video! At 10:30 you say that there's always a little bit of low mids that you want to clean up, but didn't give any reasons for that. If you have time, could you explain a bit more? Because before cleaning up the low mids, the bass sound didn't sound bad to my ears, so I am kinda confused about why we do it.

    • @MiddleD
      @MiddleD  Před 3 lety +3

      Yes! It's important to clean out "boxy" and "muddy" frequencies in the low mids because 1: they don't sound very good on a bass sound and 2: when you start arranging your track, a lot of your leads and other instruments will have their fundamental (1st) harmonics around this area as well, and all of these things added up together will make your mix sound muddy and not very clear! So it's a good idea to already take care of it early on 😁
