Crazy to find you here, I just discovered this channel by accident. Wubbalubbadubdub changed the way I view sound design almost single handedly, mad cool track.
You’ve legit taught me more from your channel than the electronic music production school where I studied for a full year. Thank you for continuing to do this for the community
@Official AHEE so funny I just watched your video about distorting waveforms together. I was usually trying to create interesting tones through fm, which is amazing, but the simplicity of distorting waveforms together was really eye opening, and I find myself making way better sounds when I try something "simpler" rather than a complex fm patch or something. You have leveled up my sound design immensely with your channel, thank you guys so much. Your podcast Wub theory is amazing, I hope we got lots more incoming. Also, Crystal Beam is a banger 🥴
@@BuntingMusic Sorry to hype another content creator on your channel without even mentioning you, I just discovered your channel by chance. Instant subscribe with this video, I'm gonna be cruising your archive for the next few days at least xD
This is my favorite way to make basses rn. One thing this kind of processing lends itself to really well-- if you have a midi controller with knobs/faders, you can map filter cutoffs and whatever synth parameters to the controller instead of or in addition to the LFOs, then do like "jams" where you tweak the knobs, record in the automation and make like 16 bar mudpies that you can then chop up and throw in drops. Very fun to do
Using randomization on lfos is also a great way to achieve this and find some happy accidents if you lack a multi knob controller, or you're like me and simply to lazy to link your knobs. Not familiar enough with vital to say how, but in serum the chaos knob in the last tab is great for this.
I've been making experimental bass shit, dub and drum & bass etc for years just with an EMX1 from 2003 and Ableton live. I always been low key wishing for a way to make more complex waveforms and modulation than the EMX is capable of, plus after so long the same flow just gets old..... Found you yesterday, got Vital today, and learning it so quick thanks to you.... my life is changed 4real, big ups bruv !!
i forget to mention i added some transient shaping with drum bus to get some extra oomph to the bricksquash pluck basses & of course always add otts and saturation don’t forget to check out my new new tune flux too!!!! or else!!!!! fanlink.to/BuntingFlux
BUNTING! I just want to say I'm too poor to subscribe to your Patreon right now but plan to in the future! just know that I really really appreciate your hard work and these tutorials are legit!
I feel like I stepped into an alien spacecraft and somehow managed to half understand everything they showed me. Well done and goddamn I'm glad to finally see the craftsmanship in these genres. Algorithm came thru for me
Dude you're the shit. Thank you for taking the time to learn and then teach/present these techniques. They are very eye opening even to me, and I've been producing for about 4 years. I've scoured youtube/the internet/production schools, and haven't found anybody teaching underground bass music techniques like you do. I love how you get specific with these more underground artists that have sick bass design like bricksquash, bd hbt etc. I know they're not as underground, but artists like jade cicada and charlesthefirst are artists that the bass community admire and look up to, and because of your amazing taste and skill, we are able to get some insight into how these sounds that resonate with us so much, are made. Keep up the good work. I hope to meet you one day to let you know how much your videos have helped and inspired me along my journey
Love the video as always. I just learned a new technique u may enjoy. Effect rack, make 3 chains each with an eq. First one filters out everything but the lows, second filters all but the mids, and last with the highs. Then in each chain you can add different effects that impact only the selected areas of a sound. For instance u can drum buss or saturate just the lows or throw an autopan on just the highs. This unlocked a whole new plethora of new sound ideas. Really nice for adding more low end or messing around with the highs. Thank u again for ur videos i rly enjoy them.
@@brandoncordy7529 multiband effect chains are literally the bees knees of sliced bread. If you make bass music, or really any music but I'm a bass head, it's such an essential technique to master in my opinion because at the end of the mix, if you're isolating your subs (as you should) you're doing a form of this anyway, but bringing it into the sound design realm opens up an entirely new realm of possibilities, and kilohearts plugins are great for this. However, I believe stock plugins are superior for this, like Ableton effect rack. Duplicating chains and isolating frequency bands in whatever preferred method you have is a really essential technique, and allows for all manner of personal creativity and expression. Multipass has a max of 5 bands I believe, effect rack has as many as your CPU can stand. And instrument rack is the goat of layering for the same reasons. For FL users, patcher is the equivalent ( and visually superior to effect/instrument rack, but far less user friendly; it's like effect rack smashed into max4live). Seriously the only way I design anymore, there's always some multiband processing somewhere, if not everywhere :D sorry for the long comment but you be speaking straight to me here
Great video, as a newcomer to producing riddim/dubstep and using wavetable synths in general your videos have been super helpful, definitely the easiest to follow along with and recreate. Ur already a legend
Another great video, thank you so much for sharing your knowledge. I listened to Flux, it's really good dude, it has such cool vibes and the 2nd drop is killer.
Hey @bunting- have you realized yet that one of the unison modes is literally the harmonic series? You don't even have to waste an oscillator to use it!!!
In the advanced tab, find 'harmonics' You can even set the stereo spread amount for that particular oscillator and it can be a harmonic of any shape, not just a sine wave.
This might be the single most helpful video for me. I've been making bass music for a decade, and I can design crazy stuff. but the simplicity of this, and how versatile these waveforms are is batshit. thank you sir
I'm new to the channel, but clearly Bunting is the G.O.A.T. I made another comment pointing out this very thing, that the simplicity of this was crazy eye opening. I make a lot of complex fm patches and this video was just saying, "hey, you don't need to be that complex, this shit be simple." 🔥
@@ryanlott1108 it sucks tho, towards the end he shows his operator bass patch, and it is so sick, but goddddd i hate fm 😂 that's the one kind of synthesis that, like, i understand it, but i can't make anything good haha but yea this video is such a game changer. It was funny cause he was like "you can get the project file and all the viral patches on the description", but why? I don't need em 😂 just need to load up the waveforms and I'm good, I'll take it from here haha
@@BuntingMusic operator is something i messed with when i first got ableton, and got confused with the ui and never used it again 😂 maybe i should give it another shot haha
@@Randuski you should mess with it more, it's really surprisingly powerful. It's only fm if the colored squares are arranged in any vertical pattern; if you click on them and select the 4 that are in a horizontal line, it becomes just 4 serial oscillators. Stock Ableton is the tits
youv helped me out alot in this single video bro in new to you and this channel but im glad iv found you coz iv made some of the best tunes iv done lately from taking your process and implimenting into into my production so cheers man
This really opened to door for a lot of tunes I love so much, like I feel like so much of CharlesTheFirst Souls was really based on this, so much Vctre. Like so much man
You're such a monster dude!! You've inspired me alot and have helped my production grow tremendously... Btw I'd love to get ya booked sometime down here in Texas. I'll be joining your discord and patrion asap!
This was some helpful sound design... but i did right before it watch a video you made of yourself seperating the sub from the mid bass, and i didnt seem to notice that in practice here. I am gonna rewatch to to pickup whatever i may have missed, but curious on if it was due to being in 2 different eras of your production journey
Learned so much from this, Thank you so much! I'm trying to get that operator bass at the end, but it doesnt sound anything like yours even with the automation on higher harmonic operators. Is the bulk of the sound due to the post-processing?
I can't get Vital to sound good even when I try to copy your settings exactly the same in your other tutorials it still sounds whack. Any tips/reasons ?? Thank you, your content is, legendary /
Any ideas or helping tips for incorporating saw waves into my bass design? I like the crunch and grit that comes with a saw wave and want to get my basses fatter with saw waves but it's just not working lol
Hey there :) Just wondering what, if anything is happening to the audio post recording/on your master chain or whatever. Just to know if I should be able to make it sound the same just with Vital, or not :) Shpanx
I love the tutorial. I was wondering if you had any tips on how to make it fit musically? It's really messing with it, but I can't get past just making new sounds and into actually arranging it into something afterwards. Do you normally record the audio and then cut that up to fit a track?
you can use audio or midi, but what matters is that you arrange it rhythmically fr just make it flow and anything will sound pretty good (especially fat basses)
Hey if I sign up for your patreon do I get access to the waves, and wave table packs that are in your shop on your website? Was a little confused if it’s all kinda the same. I assumed the patreon was more of just the UA-cam stuff to follow along with and the packs are quality stuff we haven’t seen on UA-cam?
Do you make two separate channels in vital? One for Fundamental Sub and one for Harmonics? That way the sound is balanced with everything, instead of making a separate sub channel and layering the harmonics over top. Just curious what you low end cut off is, if racking up two vitals in an instrument rack?
now you’re gettin the hang of it :)
Jade Cicada here learning how make Jade Cicada sounds lmao

Was legit about to ask for some bricksquash vids. Once again bunting, my day has been made!
"Flux" is a really interesting tune. It speaks a language akin to dubstep, but with a fresh approach and some dope sound design.
Damn u really nailed the bricksquash sound. Thanks as always!
Another great video, thank you so much for sharing your knowledge.
I listened to Flux, it's really good dude, it has such cool vibes and the 2nd drop is killer.
if u want to make vital smaller, click the vital logo on the left top corner and choose the size u want
I love rubbery plucky Tom sounds that are bass pluck/ percussive sounds. Use it like a drum, use it like a bass.
Hey @bunting- have you realized yet that one of the unison modes is literally the harmonic series? You don't even have to waste an oscillator to use it!!!
