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.

This is basically a pluck arpeggio with a filter being modulated in a random rhythm. I use Ableton Live to create it. It is suitable for giving backing support to other parts of the song. Other words it’s a backing track just give some feel your tracks. Step 1: Create a Track Let’s insert a MIDI channel in Ableton and insert the MIDI clip. The length of the clip is three bars. Change the grid to 16th notes and draw some notes on C#4, E, G#, A and don’t leave any silence between them. So as you see the notes is rising on the scale. Duplicate this sequence until you reach bar 2.3. So the sequence looks like the following. This will act... Relative News
