Great tip, man, thanks! My annotations for bass layering were: main: 100hz a 1500hz, pluck: 300hz a 5000hz, adjust with transient designer, stereo: 300hz a 5000hz, mid/side eq, -6db mid, sub: 40hz a 100hz.
because he used mid/side EQ to cut every freq in center, you could actually just low- and highpass first, and then use any mid/side plugin for that mid-cut part. Good free plugins for that are MSED and A1StereoControl.
what about the bass bellow 40 hz ? 20-40 hz is also considered as sub frequencies right ? I've heard that some some producers do it to save some energy (cuz the lowest frequencies tend to eat up a lot of energy) but at the same time some audio engineers say it's better to keep em. what do you guys think ?
Pls dnt switch up on your method of teaching as some do when they get bigger,your method is just simple and very understanding,you definitely gonna be a hit bro,thanks,jst found you today and really appreciate your videos,so helpful.
my dude you are one of the best teachers in youtube! You've got a natural talent there! Subscribed without thinking it twice, thanks and please do keep it up.
Here I was looking all around my preset packs for the perfect all in one preset. This makes so much more sense & I feel quite dumb I didn't think of this.
Thank you. This really helped me. I've been struggling quite a lot with a bass on one of my songs. It just felt like something was missing. It doesn't anymore. I used other sounds of course but now everything works with the bass in the song . Again thank you for sharing your knowledge.
THANK YOU FOR YOUR FUCKING KNOWLEDGE OF GOLD BIG Z IM SO GLAD THAT I FOUND YOUR CHANNEL. IM STILL FAIRLY NEW TO MUSIC PRODUCTION AND YOU HAVE BEEN A SAVIOR. tHANK YOU!!!
Haha I was like on the first example ''Yeeaahh I like this, so this is what a layered base from Z sounds like, awesome!!'' 1 Sec later: ''So this is just one base sound''
Awesome tutorial! This video and another from Zen World are the two best I've seen on this topic. I only discovered your Channel about a month ago. I think you just popped up in my feed. I became an immediate subscriber. Excellent demonstrations and great advice.
Watched through your ad for presets. It's actually a really well made ad. I like that you showed each instance of serum on the screen, as it played. Very sweet. The sounds are beefy too 👍 Keep it up man. Great sound design
Video suggestion: can you offer any advice on where to start mixing so that when you are done with the mix you still have sufficient Headroom for mastering? For example, where do you place your kick drum and bass to get started before layering all the higher elements on top of that? As i gain experience, I am starting my mixes quieter and quieter, but it always seems to creep up. Any advice you can offer on this topic is most welcome! Love the channel, Z. And it looks like it is really gaining momentum.
a lot of the times when i have a stereo bass layer i like to leave the stereo cutoff with a lil more of the lowend and then reduce the mid frequencies of the low end w a low shelf so it sounds like its more like the same sound as the main bass but w some extra depth to it
Those who are unlike the video's I think they all are fucking extraordinary talented personalities Hahahahaha lol All the best for your future unlikers Hey Man you are really a pro version on UA-cam lots of love from INDIAN❤
Yo Z! Question came up in my head. Why don't you go lower than 40hz for the sub? I thought that 70/80/90hz was too high to use a sub? I could be wrong, but curious what your take is! Thanks, G
Great video! Im a little late to the party but may I ask? Im really interested in the Buss process, the most important plugin on your chain would be the OTT, It would be great if you could disclose the general settings and purpose of the OTT; is it glue? Or Something extra too?
that's fine, this is more of a general template - the important thing is that you separate the basses in the frequency spectrum so as long as it's high passed out of the way of the main bass it's all good
Big Z Thanks for the reply mate! Maybe you could explain stereo image-ing aswell :) I've been seperating certain frequencies that overlap on chord layers in the stereo image but after this vid I am not sure if I should get rid of one of them or keep seperating them in the stereo.
I would pay good money for the ‘Big Z Basses’ in a preset pack! - Somehow it doesn’t sound the same when I manually try to copy the settings into my Serum patch?
Great tip, man, thanks! My annotations for bass layering were:
main: 100hz a 1500hz,
pluck: 300hz a 5000hz, adjust with transient designer,
stereo: 300hz a 5000hz, mid/side eq, -6db mid,
sub: 40hz a 100hz.
yo thanks for the summary my man
because he used mid/side EQ to cut every freq in center, you could actually just low- and highpass first, and then use any mid/side plugin for that mid-cut part. Good free plugins for that are MSED and A1StereoControl.
You forgot To put your sub In mono.
what about the bass bellow 40 hz ? 20-40 hz is also considered as sub frequencies right ? I've heard that some some producers do it to save some energy (cuz the lowest frequencies tend to eat up a lot of energy) but at the same time some audio engineers say it's better to keep em. what do you guys think ?
Sub should be 20/30-100 depends
Pure GOLD.. yes you read right. All his tutorials are gold😎💯😎
Pls dnt switch up on your method of teaching as some do when they get bigger,your method is just simple and very understanding,you definitely gonna be a hit bro,thanks,jst found you today and really appreciate your videos,so helpful.
i dont know how come this guy is not a famous DJ yet?
my dude you are one of the best teachers in youtube! You've got a natural talent there! Subscribed without thinking it twice, thanks and please do keep it up.
"Natural talent"... Years of work! Hundreds and thousands of hours put in.Otherwise I agree fully :).
Priceless... I'm watching this one every week
Ohh lol nice.. xD
I love that workflow, especially with the point you made at the end where you can audition different sounds to see what else might fit. Solid video 👌👌
Here I was looking all around my preset packs for the perfect all in one preset. This makes so much more sense & I feel quite dumb I didn't think of this.
I don't even have a computer or software right now and I think this information is fantastic 👏🏼💪🏼👍🏼🔥

Another great vid! Can you do a video on drums / processing and parallel compression please dude
Thank you for this
Youre a freaking professional
good tutorial, thanks
Beautiful, thanks!
You helped me a lot! Thanks!!!
amazing tutorial. thanks!

Those who are unlike the video's
I think they all are fucking extraordinary talented personalities
Hahahahaha lol
All the best for your future unlikers
Hey Man you are really a pro version on UA-cam lots of love from INDIAN❤

depends upon the key of your track... you can search the frequency for every note in google and know better
What is CLA Bass Settings?????
Many thanks!
Do you apply compression to all the layers afterwards to blend them?
Great video! Im a little late to the party but may I ask? Im really interested in the Buss process, the most important plugin on your chain would be the OTT, It would be great if you could disclose the general settings and purpose of the OTT; is it glue? Or Something extra too?
i can not thank you enough sir
I think there is some compression on your bus 4, which is actually affecting the sound
We hope to work with them one day
Awesome!
Nice video once again!
But what do I do if my main bass layer isnt a plucky bass but is more on the high end?
that's fine, this is more of a general template - the important thing is that you separate the basses in the frequency spectrum so as long as it's high passed out of the way of the main bass it's all good
Big Z Thanks for the reply mate! Maybe you could explain stereo image-ing aswell :) I've been seperating certain frequencies that overlap on chord layers in the stereo image but after this vid I am not sure if I should get rid of one of them or keep seperating them in the stereo.
Please release this serum sound set Z.!!!
Wow tricks man!
What settings do you have up on that CLA Bass plug-in?
for the sake of noticing the new differences, you could mute the drums
Great video! But what about bus processing to compress all the basses? Is that not necessary?
I do compress all the basses together in a bus I just completely forgot to talk about it in this video haha sorry
great video
👍👍👍
tysm
Good 👍👍👍👍
Be good to see how you compressed these 4 basslines
I would pay good money for the ‘Big Z Basses’ in a preset pack! - Somehow it doesn’t sound the same when I manually try to copy the settings into my Serum patch?
what are the sends on the bass channels doing?
