Great basic bass line tutorial, I like how you immediately show the results, I don't want to wait a minute for every change or variation, lol. There's another typical bass line where they delete the first note, so you get something like this : 0111-0111-0111-0111 (1 measure), you got a bass drum where you deleted the note. Thanks for the inspiration!
The basslines in 80s music are distinctive for their punchy, groovy, and often funky qualities. They typically feature a prominent, driving rhythm that anchors the song, creating a strong sense of danceability. Great tutorial. I could dance to these bass lines!
Hi there, it was a while ago but most likely from some samples I've created along with others on my harddrive. That being said, I do have a drum sample pack that could be of interest: tinyurl.com/mpvc6hkn
Great, easy to follow video thanks. Ironically its the exact drum sounds and patterns in your video that I was searching for (Especially at point 50-51s). Do you have a tutorial specifically for this? Ps. What does your Online Course 2 do that 1 doesn't?
Thanks for the comment. I'll make sure to do a tutorial on the drum sequencing at some point. As for the masterclasses, they both have different approaches to songwriting and mixing. Lots of info regarding theory, sound design and arrangement.
Thanks for making all these videos, as a thank you for taking the time to make these I just enrolled in your Synthwave Masterclass 1 & 2, and look forward to diving more in depth into Synthwave production. Is there anything that's different if I'm using the current version of Ableton 11 in the course?
Thanks for the comment. Been a while since I've uploaded this video. I think I can find the preset and and showcase how it was made. It's in one of my sample packs. tinyurl.com/bdhsdpbs
How is the lowend being approached in Synthwave ? I assumed it's like anything else, but then i heard this huge thick high pressure wall of lowend on the Timecop1983 - On the Run track, and it sounds controlled and intentional. I didn't think lowend was particularily important to Synthwave, other than making sure there is sub content so it doesn't actually and literally sound like an 80s production. But that track gives me the impression that the 'epic' wall of bass is a feature. I can hear there is a sub drone aswell as the sub of the kick and the bass arp. I would imagine needing to control that by carving space and manage the interaction between the three, ducking etc. But then there is a level of control that creates this dense and constant pressure of bass, without sounding like a muddy mess. I imagine a bass buss perhaps, compression, harmonics, envelop shaping, but i'm wondering if that dense and high pressure feeling is intentional. Maybe it was done in mastering. Synthwave has alot of pure synth sounds, and those really can be pushed by high level mastering gear. (even though i doubt Timecop bothered with that).
Thanks for the comment. On The Run, I believe that he might be using the Korg Polysix for his bass line (preset: fat line bass) layered with another bass layer (whole notes sustained) I think the kick is a softer kick with less sub frequency information (not sure) might be a 707 kick drum. As for his mastering chain, he might have some kind of shelving eq to boost the lows and highs.
@@SynthwavePro ah ok so, nothing out of the ordinary or particular for Synthwave. It could just be a compressed low shelf. Thank you for the reply, much appreciated !
Mostly Serum for basses. As for drums, any drums that sound good. Here's a video that highlights synthwave presets. ua-cam.com/video/HobuqE22Ass/v-deo.html
"Simple Drum Beat" with like crazy good samples, its all you need, lol But what sounds i wonder? As for bass, i think the bass instruments are super important, sound design is super important here.
how do you make your crunchy bass sounds? Mine are always deep and wide, don't take it wrong I like mine but I also want to try bass' that are harmonicly richer like this one
Great question. Most western popular music (pop, EDM) are in minor keys. Sonically, the minor scale sounds (edgy, mysterious and ethereal.) That's not to say the major keys are lacking, but major keys tend to sound "uplifting, happy and lively" There are a few videos on UA-cam that take well-known minor-based pop songs and convert them to major - they also do the inverse. The results are surprising.
@@SynthwavePro пришлось переводчиком воспользоваться) но спасибо за ответ. К слову, на твой канал мой земляк подписан, если ты это читаешь, отзовись, давай замутим коллабу ! :)
How much time do you spend sequencing bass line patterns?
about 3 months
about 5 minutes
Subscribed! Good content plus you got a relaxing, mellow voice, I'm tired of UA-camrs who think they got to yell all the time!. Keep it up lad!
Much appreciated and I sincerely appreciate the subscription to the channel!

The beat with those hit and drums sound cool .. a video on something like that would be nice.

so like sidechain?

Thank you, kindly! 🙏@@SynthwavePro
I like the 16th notes pattern. Thanks for the tips man
Yea I agree. You're welcome.
The 16th note one was straight up Stock-Aitken-Waterman
This is awesome. great, quick bites of info. I'll definitely be incorporating these into my music!
Thanks so much for the comment. Glad that some of the info was helpful!
Do you have a tutorial about how to make these drums that fit well with 16th bassline? Would be nice to do something like it. Keep up the nice work!
I'll consider making that. Thanks for letting me know.
remember to sidechain or ignore the 1st note so you get that rising feeling
Sick, straight forward tutorial! Well done and subscribed🙌🏾🙏🏾✨
Thanks for the comment. Much appreciated!
Just stumbled across this (as you do on YT!) Great stuff, will dive in deeper into your channel!
Thanks
Dude, you do look like the coolest electric nerd from 80s with attitude. Damn!
are those drums from a sample pack or plugin? can you share where I can get? love the snare and toms.
Hi there, it was a while ago but most likely from some samples I've created along with others on my harddrive.

Nice tutorial! I plan to use my Virus and Rytm synths in Logic for synthwave, trance and EDM stuff.
That sounds like a plan!
The Virus is the sound for Trance!

Thanks for the message. Any version of Ableton is fine. Masterclass 1 is in Ableton 10 Masterclass 2 is done in Ableton 11.
Which bass u are using plls

What is the genre of music you used as intro background ? Do we have this type of music for Rap songs?
Amazing and useful information! Thank you.
Sunscribed also 😅 nice video!
Just asking myself how it would sound with the anticipation on the arpeggiated last sequences
Yea, you can spend hours coming up with various sequences. Something worth deep diving into.
Man you're world class!
Hey George, I sincerely appreciate the comment.
Great channel ! Thanks man.
That was a great tutorial.
May I ask, does wearing sunglasses in a darkened room help with the creative process?
Hahaha nahhhh Just looks cool! 🙂
What plug-ins do you use for bass and drums?

How about we talk your vocal chain!?! That intro sounds buttery.
Nice one Jules 👍
Hey Dom, Thanks for stopping by.
Thank you so mich
You are welcome!
how do you make your crunchy bass sounds? Mine are always deep and wide, don't take it wrong I like mine but I also want to try bass' that are harmonicly richer like this one
I'll post a tut on this...thanks Firat
@@SynthwavePro thank you sir!
@@SynthwavePro where is it at tho
Thanx a lot 🤌
I always thought the synth lines were straight patches that people dialed in to get the exact pattern, less daunting seeing it via sequence like this.
2nd pattern rocks
You're a good presenter.
Thanks for the comment. I try and hopefully, it helps with sharing tips.
Question: Why is so much of Synthwave music in a minor key? Just something I've noticed that makes me curious.
Great question.
Most western popular music (pop, EDM) are in minor keys.
Sonically, the minor scale sounds (edgy, mysterious and ethereal.)
That's not to say the major keys are lacking, but major keys tend to sound "uplifting, happy and lively"
There are a few videos on UA-cam that take well-known minor-based pop songs and convert them to major - they also do the inverse.
The results are surprising.
Listen to Ferus Melek. He pretty much redefines synthwave.
Very interesting thank you
Thanks for hanging out!
NEAT!
Thanks for watching!
Wait, what bass pattern did u use in this intro?
16th notes.
@@SynthwavePro85 bpm right?
I believe so, as for the preset, it's a sound from a pack I created.@@rizalarrah6727
@@SynthwavePro ok, thx
excellent content

Much appreciated! Thanks for watching.
Could anyone tell me which is the keyboard and/or sample used on the bass of this 80s song?

ez pz?
"EX........" Synthwave? Boooooo no need for the dreaded "E" word.
Not all Synthwave have the same baseline so.....no need.
