Whether you are producing house, techno, trance, drum ’n’ bass - or any other genre - locking in your bass early on really helps define the vibe and direction of the track.
In this video I share my bass selection process, to take some of the guesswork out of it and speed up the whole production process.
Here are the 7 steps:
1. Deciding on the vibe / bass category
2. Programming the bass line
3. Hot-swapping the sounds
4. A/B testing
5. Separating the sub-bass / mid-bass
6. Augmenting the bass
7. Processing the bass
