Bass
Track · BS · 4 lessons
Foundations; the filter is the star.
▸Lessons in order
- BS1 · Lesson 1 of 4
Pick a wave
Do: A/B sine, saw, and square over the bed.
Result: A clean sub.
Teaches Oscillator waveforms
- BS2 · Lesson 2 of 4
Shape the note
Do: Dial punch vs sustain on the amplitude ADSR.
Result: A plucky vs held bass.
Teaches Amplitude ADSR · Reuses Oscillator waveforms
- BS3 · Lesson 3 of 4
Open the filter
Do: Sweep the cutoff, add a touch of resonance.
Result: A filtered, wobble-ready bass.
Teaches Low-pass cutoff + resonance · Reuses Oscillator waveforms, Amplitude ADSR
- BS4 · Lesson 4 of 4
Dirt
Do: Push saturation until it growls.
Result: A reese/growl that sits in the mix.
Teaches Saturation / gain staging · Reuses Low-pass cutoff + resonance
