How refreshing. A geezer who talks fast, doesn't bore me to death with waffle, and demonstrates stuff that actually makes a big difference to the end result, stuff which actually works, and which you can tell would make a difference to the casual end consumer's enjoyment of this music, had it not been done. Cool.
You can always tweak Playback Speed in Setting!
I like the way you work. No bullshit talk, just straight to the business. Instant subscription
i feel like i can actually take away some things from your tutorials. like i legit understand what you are doing and it all has its purpose. thanks for helping struggeling producers with your knowledge. keep it up my man
I got a buy the sylenth because of u! It's fantastic tool!
i love your tutorial
Thank you for explaining sooo good
subbed! watch a few but this one is the best of its I seen so far!
Top tutorial! Thanks Zen World
Cool video. These layers occupy a lot of the spectrum. How does this work in terms of overlapping with all the other sounds?
2:51..........."a lot way better" sounds like carnage
HAha I think that joke was on purpose :) I also caught that!
very very way more fatter.
keep up the good work man. thanks for all the stuff u've shared to us. been following you since early this year(lol). and this is my first comment since then. u taught me a lot of things in ableton. much respect and love from all the way across pacific ocean.
(ps. you're doing much more than teaching as i watch ur vids. it helps me to relieve my anxiety as i feel like u're talking to me. keep up making video man.)
Man u deserve way more subs. I find your tutorials very instructive and straight to the point. Keep up the good work and thanks a lot for these awesome tutorials dude!
Awesome tutorial. Your tutorials are quality. I'm learning a lot, thanks.
bro this was a dope tutorial man! probably your best in my opinion. very helpful
Very good, I’m getting it more with bass, and this video has come at a great time !!!
Makes perfect sense 👍🏾
"A lot way better" lets goooooo! Good tutorials man.
Surely this is for bass house or something? Any mastering engineer will tell you to mono low frequencies. I see you stereo them, is that not a bad idea?
Does this also work out for layering on basshouse tracks? Or do you treat the layering like stacking leads?
How would this relate to using the Tom for a bassline like you did in Your "West COast Tech house video". Is One tom just Sub? One Just Highs? I made a pretty solid tune based on your How to Make West Coast Bass. I used the TOM to make the Bassline as you did. But I'm confused how to make three layers out of it.
Do you ever use the eq and ott to take out the low end for the top layer ? Or is that that doing double for nothing?
That was fun! Keep up the way you do things Zen!
Eres muy bueno, gracias a estos videos, ahora trabajo mis producciones por capas. Porque lo creia una opcion pero es fundamental para una buena produccion. Craaack!!!
very helpful and inspiring thank you !
Thanks Zen this helped alot! :)
Well done zen
do u do any one on one tutorial lessons?
Thanks for this video! Love that bassline xD
another one
keep killing it man! you're vids have helped me a lot!
Ideally the layers should all have the same peaks like in here or was it just a coincidence? Normally I always have to mangle with the gain on each of the sounds
you are very dinamic! is good to watch your tutorials you give a lot of energy. I say again, I don't inderstand how comes you don't have more subs bro.
Thanks for the comment brother :D
Don't you have any phase cancellation issue with the 3 bass playing the same notes at the same frequency? I do with Ableton..
If you have frequencies clashing it will cancel one or another out, thats why he said you need to make sure every sound has its on space, low, mid low, mids. mid highs, highs
hey do you guys know why he doesn't put the subbass in stereo and also why he doesn't compress it with the other basses?
So I watched this video on basses, and the one on leads and in both you said cover all, high mid and low freq, and was wondering if the leads basses and chords, with all frequencies covered meant to 'clash' or if that is how you get a rounded, well produced sound?
And also is the mid/side wq on the ff pro C 2 we plugin?
Zen, I saw you picked up the MS-20 are you applying the same techniques to the analog signal or does the magic change slightly. I'd like to see a vid on that. Thanks.
So Mid/Side EQ is basically a stereo imager with EQ?
Great tutorial!
hate to come across as a wan*** but, man, this was refreshing hey...2019 and this is far more relevant than alot of new producers realize... beauty !!
this great tutorial, please make more
Can you explain when we need to make sound more stereo than mono?
You do that when you want to make your music sound big, full and wide. Distribution over all frequency spectrum and stereo panorama. That's how commercial music is done. Just remember - everything below 200hz must be mono.
thank you very much +bpp spb
your reply was useful
+bpp sbp why does it have to be mono if it's under 200 hz? I've heard some drumnbass with stereo sub bass
bpp spb Aiii thanks man!
great tutorial!!
what's the diff between this and your layering synths method?
Nice dbz reference :) at the end lol thanks!! I'm so lazy but it sounds so good!! Will try
first video, subbed
@6:13 try waves doubler... works like a charm
What is the program called?
But since you cover all the frequencies with you bassline, how do you add a lead without interference?
That's mainly for bass heavy genres but you can always experiment making some room for a lead idk if that could sound good but you can try :)
cut some mids if it's fighting too much, but a bit of interplay is fine..
Battling this in a track at the moment. I just took away the high bass layer to make room when the lead plays, and saturation, compression, multiband sidechaining, sooth and track spacer 😂
Thanxxx bro
Great!
I'm in love, you bastard
What about future house/bounce?........In a Mr. Belt and Wezol vlog....he used like 9sounds for the bass.....
#FanBoYMode! Thanks for your awesome vids!
Hey, i am new to the whole producing thing and ive been doing everything i can to learn, but i was just curious. I ofcourse know the difference between a mono and stereo bass. but why would different genres use different styles of bass ? thanks before hand :)
Zayin Conde its all about the artist. look what sounds better. but usually bass is mono. especialy if it stays basic. stereo bass I'd only recomend if you're advanced already
okay thinks, i look into it. Thanks :)
Awesome as always! Thank you. :D
Thanks Mate!
Thank you, sensei
Hey Zen World, if i use this for progressive house wouldn't it be fighting with the leads?
Okay nvm i watched till the end now xD
Jeryl Jackson I thought the same. Sounded like a very powerful lead occupying from 20Hz to 20Khz lol
I think he meant that for like future house, i think he should do a tutorial for Progressive House too :D
Nice vid bra, usually the presets are so wellmade Ill just use One bass with a HP filter and then a sub
How to layer leads next?
He's done it already
impressive
Aye Kay aye!
wow this was helpful
Just here for the bass
Why you dont put the Sub Bass into the Bus, to compress all 3 Layers together?
I think it is because you don`t want your sub to duck when the higher frequencies activate the compressor. The same way low frequencies and higher frequencies require specific treatments in terms of mid-side depth, they do in terms of compression (that`s what multi-band compressors are for)
@@allanlimaverde6201 No, you can use sidechain to attenuate what frequencies the compressor reacts to. Treating groups of instruments together is a great mixing technique.
Wow that sounds great even in my shitty laptop speakers lol. That's amazing!!
phat af dude
That helped, thanks :)
fuck it, you are genuis!! :D this is a kind of simple, but that's the way.. thanks!!! :D
you Mid Side eq a mono track?
oh now you did (Y)
Had to make it into stereo X_X
Is it just me or does sylenth sound way better than massive?
it kinda depends on your sounddesign skills. massive can make way more things than sylenth, but sylenth keeps it simple though
I only have massive and the sylenth demo. But i cant get wide and clean leads out of massive, but i can easyly in sylenth. Also if i compare sound demos of massive presets aiganst the one of massive, sylenth seems to be way more of the commercial sound. But thats just what i think
like i said it keeps it more simple. but basically every skrillex track is 90% massive, and i think that speaks for itself
Because 90% of skrillex sound are dirty heavy basses or glitchy stuff ^^
For that kind of sound massive is great
If you know what you're doing, Massive is better no matter what. Massive can do everything Sylenth can, but Sylenth can't do half of what Massive can do.
Where you hear "shit like that" hahahahah. Thanks man!
that's how you do it! All these 10 min tutorial mf'ers layering 10 different bass sounds and calling it a day are probably the no.1 reason new producers mixes sound like shit doug
Exactly haha. I seen someone layering like 15 presets in like WTF
LOL throws Pro-L on and jacks the gain up to 10. Gotta love it.
Platinum tutorial!
5:54 sounding nasty af
SOOOOO FAT!! Thanks for this, I see if I can utilize this in my projects :D
nnooiiiiicccceeee
Zen invented ott
Pls the link for dawnload sylenths 2
Pardon me cause i might be wrong but I think you need to take care of that opiat habit.... Or you need to get your nose checked because it obviously itches a lot! ;) been there done that. It's managable! :)
you are imcrelible teach for use mire
bass is supposed to be mono. Club speakers are always mono.
My Son who is studying studio music production and 8 yrs old was watching youtube videos on the subject and started watching this video. Good thing I was monitoring, i had to step out to the kitchen for a minute and when I heard the profanity this guy was using i rushed in and quickly turned the TV off. Just not ready to have his head filled with this negative, cursing, profane, disrespectful language and attitude.
Those of you that have young children watching youtube videos , Please monitor what they watch. There are those that post videos with no regard for the integrity of their presentations, send out Evil, cursing, negative conotations.
Peace
Yeah my videos aren't for kids below 16 for sure. My demographic is very 18-25. Good job on monitoring and appreciate the comment. I teach my videos this way because they make me unique and make people feel like they are learning from a friend. Good luck on your sons journey to become a music producer.
Tim Morrison umm ur kid will learn far worse stuff in public school which I'm sure he is in lol .. how lame of a dad .. your going to turn your son into a rebel if you keep this up
You have your way of living and so do I. That is what is great about this country, To each his own.I am not worried about my youngest son being a rebel at all, as I am raising him according to the same principles as I have with my 2 oldest . My eldest son is a Captain in the USA NAVY(Sea-bees) and my eldest Daughter has a PHD in Psychology. Both are successful and financially secure.I can speak with them for hours and not one slip of a blasphemous word from them. They are extremely intelligent and can carry on a conversation without foul language. I, myself am a successful music producer with 2 hit records to my credits, I also own my own state of the art recording and production studio which is quite successful. I am a Honorable discharge Vietnam Veteran. I am also a Shaolin Kungfu Instructor Trained from an Original Shaolin Monk. I could go on and on, However from your wimpy wistful reply, I have perceived that you could not walk an inch in my shoes as only a Real Man can do that. I will even let you have the last word in this conversation as I will not reply to any more remarks from This Source. Have a Great Day, Enjoy your life and I wish you much success on your Musical Quest.
Peace And Blessings
Tim Morrison your son should be playing football outside or something like that. Not learning music production
Tim Morrison I agree. This guy would seem much more professional if he would just drop the profanity like all the other channels. He's one of the only channels that constantly uses profanity. He cheapens the value of his own advice albeit amateurish. Just make sure your kid studies the right thing from the start...like real mixing artists. Real ones that know what they're talking about actually read books and know a whole lot more than the same old ideas being bounced around on UA-cam by every channel redelivering what another channel publishes..over and over again.
No need for profanity.
