It's baaaaack! After my first video in the series was so well received, I decided to do another! This one focuses on tips for Synths and Bass for EDM, mostly bass.

Almost 2 and 1/2 hours of tutorials covering goodies such as:

Making a Bass from any Sample
Tuning Sampled Bass
Bass Keying with the Drums
Bass EQ without an EQ
Bass Layering
Resampling Bass Notes
Frequency Splitting
Sidechaining Bass
Sequencing Basslines
MIDI Resampling
Sequence using your Voice
Filter & Env Modulation
Break it Down
Sub Bass Tips
Sub Bass Kick
Synth Swells
Matching Kick & Bass
Dubstep & Wobble Basslines
Creating a Bass Bomb

Some of the tips involving complex midi routing etc are pretty Live specific, but I'd say that 85% of the content can be applied to any DAW.


BUT WAIT! THERE'S MORE!
It's currently 33% off for a short time as an intro price. Hurry, act now as supplies are limited! I won't be undersold!

Purchased it a couple of days ago. Like the first one (House Drums), there's a wealth of info here that anybody can apply to their productions. The "Sequence Using Your Voice" is pretty amusing. But I do agree it works. I know this tutorial is primarily synth based, but I wish you could've included something about incorporating live bass too. But all in all, another superb tutorial. Thanks!

lol that sequencing with your voice was good fun to make.

I did stay away from live bass simply because I don't have enough experience with it. I could have done something on compressing it etc, but wouldn't have done anything justice as far as actually recording/mic'ing it etc... there could easily be a whole other series simply on live bass.

is the price in Australian dollars?

It's based in the States, so I'd say thats a negatory.

Nice one I will grab that tonight to watch when I jet off to blighty tomorrow.

I picked this up guys for a nosey at some of the things covered - I would say I know live insideout but Ive found a couple of cracking bits on it thats makes it well worth 20 quid! Even for experienced users
