What I don't understand is why in some tutorials we're really making a simple sub bass and in others we don't. Does this mean that not every tune has a sub bass? Or like how do we fill the sub bass frequencies? Because here we had 2 kinds of basses and they sounded more like top/mid basses? Thank you in advance for your answer :)
Top left of Serum is a "sub" section, you'll be surprised at the amount of Serum presets/sounds with sub enabled, this could be a reason. Another reason and primarily the bigger reason, not every track needs sub bass. Some sounds naturally sound deeper given their design when they aren't hitting sub frequencies, if this is so then it's enough. When I first started DnB years ago, the first thing I was told was way too much bass. The lecturer told me I didn't need to add and ramp up a sub bass when the only bass I had was already leaning into sub frequencies despite it naturally hitting above most kicks! Recently I've learnt the value of visual feedback (minimeters) that show you all the parts to your noises 👌 Hope this helps, just bare in mind tutorials are a guide on how to achieve the plastic standard. The art starts when you improvise 🤘
depends on the track. As a general rule you should put a sub in if the lowest harmonic on the bass is either stereo (due to added effects) or changing in volume in an unpredictable way (common on basses with a lot of modulation). If the lowest harmonics of your basses are already mono and stable then as long as they're consistent in volume throughout the track you don't need a sub
@@ZookoMusicI always use a channel for the low/medium frequency bass + a parallel channel with the same bass, but isolating only the sub, so when I sidechain to the Kick I use only that channel. Is this a good solution ? Sorry for my english btw, I’m from Italy, I hope my comment is understandable 😅
@@PETERGREENDAY100 I understand, I've tried before with different variations. For example the 2 channels, lower reduce highs and higher add distortion/saturation. My newer method is to sidechain the specific kick frequencies out of the bass. Most of my kicks I aim to hit strongest at 200 anyway (I just like the tone but varies on key signature/base note/phase) which tend to give way more room for my low end, automation on stereo/mono, chorus etc I appreciate your method, I feel this works in particular depending on genre or even the bass sound itself. The frequency sidechain method on a single track (I believe FabFilter Pro Q to be one of the best for this) Hope this you can read 🙏
