7 Steps to The Perfect Bass

►► Learn how to make any bass with my 12-Step Sound Design Bible (FREE): http://bit.ly/3vLlk1E. Bass is the foundation of any modern track, and in this video I show you how you can pick the perfect bass sound for your track.

Whether you are producing house, techno, trance, drum ’n’ bass - or any other genre - locking in your bass early on really helps define the vibe and direction of the track.

In this video I share my bass selection process, to take some of the guesswork out of it and speed up the whole production process.

Here are the 7 steps:

1. Deciding on the vibe / bass category
2. Programming the bass line
3. Hot-swapping the sounds
4. A/B testing
5. Separating the sub-bass / mid-bass
6. Augmenting the bass
7. Processing the bass
