The previous blog/video was about how to solve problems with Melodic bassline when it changes the notes, and what would be the best tricks for solving those problems. After the release of the video and blog, I've started to get a bunch of messages from you guys with a request for Bassline Preset from that video.
In order to make it just a bit harder for you to get the same bassline, I will not post the presets here, and instead of presets, I will make a detailed explanation about this process.
Synthesis: Serum First load "Basic mini" as a waveform in OSC A
Set phase filly on the left
Click on the pen to edit the waveform and process - flip vertically
Turn on the filter and leave it on MG Low 24
Cutoff set to 300hz
Connect Note velocity to the Level of OSC A
Envelop 1: attack = 0, Hold = 0, Decay = 208ms, Sustain = -12db, Release = 15ms
Envelop 2: attack = 0, Hold = 0, Decay = 150ms, Sustaine = 0, Release = 15ms
and Envelop 2 connect to Filter Cutoff.
Envelop 3: attack = 0, Hold = 0, Decay = 98ms, Sustaine = 0, Release = 15ms
In FX section, turn on Filter, and leave it on MG Low 6db, Cutoff set to 280hz, and connect Envelop 3 to the Filter Cutoff.
Now we are using double filtering
For processing, you will need the following plugins
Melda Production - MTransientMb
Waves - RBass
DMG - Equilibrium
Waves - Vitamin
FabFilter - Pro-Q3
Voxengo Pha-979
Melda Production - Spectral Dynamics
BrainWorks - Bx_digital V3
Set MTransient MB on 4 bands, and the point between the first two bands set to 288hz
RBass level set to -17.4db and frequency set to 65Hz
Equilibrium only lowcut on 31.6Hz - 30db - Q=0.71
Vitamin set the low band on 43hz
FabQ3 -
Low cut on 34.7hz - 24db Q=1.06
Bell1 - Freq: 147hz - Gain +1.5db - Q=1.39
Bell2 - Freq: 127hz - Gain -3db - Q=1
Bell3 - Freq: 418hz - Gain -3.1db - Q=1.17
Bell4 - Freq: 170hz - Gain -1.12db - Q=1.9
Bell5 - Freq: 311hz - Gain +1.45db - Q=2.64
BrainWorks:
Lowcut on 6db Freq 22hz
bell2: frequency 85hz, 01.6db, Q=1
Spectral Dynamics will depend on the gain level from Serum, but in this case, when Serum Master is set to 85%, the Threshold is set to -19db and ratio to 2:1
