Fred Again Reese Basslines With Twin 3 Tutorial

Подробнее о видео

Load up FabFilter’s powerful Twin 3 and take a classic sound in new directions.

Where most attribute the ever-popular Reese bassline to early jungle pioneer Alex Reece on his seminal track “Pulp Fiction,” Kevin Saunderson is, in fact, the original creator of the sound. Achieved on a Casio CZ-5000 and under the moniker Reese, he sculpted and experimented to create the classic sound “Just Want Another Chance” in 1988.

The Reese bassline is two sawtooth waveforms, detuned and filtered. It can be kept simple and raw or complex and technical. Over the decades, it has evolved, with artists constantly pushing it to new frontiers. But even in its simple, purest form, it still can shake a dancefloor and rattle its patrons.

The synth sound is a classic staple for multiple genres, such as drum and bass, garage, and house. It is multifunctional, too, creating anthemic bangers or dark growlers, depending on your end goal.

This tutorial pays homage to the sounds of Brit Award winners Chase & Status and Grammy award-winning Fred Again with a gritty variation on their use of the powerful Reese bassline. We will use the excellent Twin 3 by FabFilter, but you could apply these principles to a softsynth of your choice.
