How to Create Amazing Bass Patterns for Electronic Music

// Twice a month we revisit some of our reader favorite posts from throughout the history of Audiotuts+. This tutorial was first published in September 2008. Following my tutorial on creating a house drum track we received requests for information on creating bass lines, lead sounds, FX and arrangements. So, over the coming weeks I will be supplying step-by-step tutorials, demonstrating possible techniques for completing an electronic house track. I will build on the track in each tutorial so you can see things develop and make the Logic project available at each stage. Even though these tutorials are completed in Logic Pro 8 and in a one particular style of house, the techniques are very much generic and can be applied to any software and genre of dance music. Note: this tutorial contains embedded audio that will not display in a feed reader. Click back to the site to read the tutorial with audio or download the Play Pack at the end of the tut. 1.

Master Pitch and Tempo in FL Studio

// In this tutorial we are going to cover how to use FL Studio’s master pitch and tempo tools to create a massive slow down you’ll hear at the end of some songs. This effect first came from records that would slow down as they came to an end and caused a drop in pitch and speed. Soon DJs would emulate this at a club as an effect. In the digital realm these is no record we can put our hands on, but we can automate a slider or two to get the same effect. If your using another DAW, check to see if you have a master pitch or tempo you can automate in your DAW. With all that in mind, let us begin! Step 1: Pick Your Beat Before we can start the slow down we will need something we can slow down first. To really show this effect off I am going to use an instance of Drumaxx and create beat by using a prebuilt pattern in the Drum n Bass genre. Drum n Bass usually floats around 170-190 BPM and is perfect for our purposes. After that I will drag my pattern out for 8 bars in a piano... Relative News
