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.

How did you find the mix? What would you do differently? What do you enjoy about the rhythm track? What can be done to improve it? Is the choice of instruments relevant and effective for the style/song? Are the lyrics (if any) effective? Does the style, arrangement and genre of the song suit them? Can you suggest any specific techniques that might improve... Relative News
