Tutorials - Bass - Some Thoughts On Bass Guitar

(1) If you can play a real bass throughout you whole track (if you can). This will give you tracks a great feel. Remember you can always go back in a chop out good sections and repeat them or edit out your mistakes. Play your bass guitar through what ever processors you have, allways experiment, to find your favorite sound.

(2) If your programming your own basslines using midi then try lowering the pitch setting by 12, 24 etc (an octave). You could always layer sounds. For instance use a deep bass sound pitched down and and double it up with a more punchy bass sound set a little quieter.

(3) Run the bass through an envelope follower pedal, set so that the bass never actually triggers the envelope. Bill Laswell is a big fan of this one.

(4) When using sub-bass, distort it a little first to give it some definition .


(5) Old analogue synths such as the roland juno 106 and jupiter 6 are excellent and so is the yamaha dx100 (as used by orbital and Sly & Robbie)
