Create a healthy Reese bass with Serum (fix the Reese bass / two-oscillator sub bass drift problem)

It’s easy and fun to create two-oscillator basses such as Reese basses with Serum, as they sound lively due to the movement caused by two detuned oscillators.
However, this often causes a problem with sub bass, which will also drift in and out, which we don’t want: we want a solid sub bass level.
This video shows you how it’s easy to fix this with Serum.

Short Studio Session #1

The first episode of new miniseries, Short Studio Session, is now up!

Watch here

So in this series, I want to take a song I’m working on and go thru some things that I feel are interesting. Can be song structure, sound choices, plugins etc.
Aiming to keep more bite-sized than mega masterclass, so this is 24 minutes long.

In the first episode, talking about how to build a song from intro to its busy part and checking some useful plugins in the process, too.

Hope it gives you some ideas!

 

Song walkthrough video: Amos Keato – Some Dread Purpose (Fanu Remix)

 

Patreon class is in session!
Here comes a video (47 mins) walkthru of my recent
remix for Make Or Break,

🎥 Check it out on my Patreon 📽

In this video, I’m talking about breaks, things relating to chopping them, what I look for in a break, some of the processing, bass stuff, how the song evolves and what I find important in song structures etc…
I find that especially in terms of song structures, there’s not a whole lot of info out there, so wanted to cover that once again as well.

I hope you find some useful nuggets here.
