[Psytrance Tutorial] Forest Bass with Serum 

for anyone wandering and wondering how the dark psy bass is made and have opened a thousand windows from different channels to find the one that is actually it, THIS is it ;) this is all you need to do a good foresty bassline

after 5-6 years off bookings and music production due to studying, it´s interesting how much more you can find on youtube meanwhile. when we started around 2008, there was little to nothing online available to learn it. nowadays you can find how to do everything ^^ Edit: and crazy the amount of presets available for everything xD i find it nice to support artists, but overall not really necessary if you prefer to understand sound synthesis as a musician and be totally authentic

Brilliant as always! 🤟🏽

Thanks again. The level of information is fantastic 🙏

Very detailed - keep up the great work and excited to see some more new videos :)

I'm happy to have stumbled over your channel, your tutorials are gold and it is easy to follow and understand. You have a sub more 👍

Just mindblown, well done mate

very useful tutorials; really great ideas for perfect forest sound- Great

Some very nice ideas in here 🙂 I'm interested to try that vb1 style saw wave. Thanks for another great tutorial 🤘👽✨

Ooooh thank you very much ! It's the best tutorial !

Great tutorial, thank you

Deep knowledge. Amazing to watch 🙏

You do wonders with the wavetable editor- you really found the power within it, respect !

The amazing

Top top video and explanation. Thank you for the tips, really upped my bass game

thx for this!!

amaaaaazinggggggggggggggggg thanks a lot !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! loveeeeee

dude you're the best! your videos are so great. thanks for this one!

amazing bro!!!!! aaaaah it is deliciious

absolutely epic! congrats on the path you trailed until now and thanks for aiding us in unblocking new sonic horizons

I have learned more for you and your videos than in the past 3 years. Thank you 🙏

killer video - well done. totally delivered for the 5k subs special! hope you grow even more in the future!:)

finally, a tutorial with pro psy sounds, the sounds somebody hears at parties.

Really nice tutorial, sounds awesome! The quality of your videos is proper next level stuff. Other than the killer quality of your packs, the videos you upload are just another reason to buy the packs and show some support. Keep it up man and thank you!

This style reminded me of Dronebixie. Sweet tutorial.

Great video bro!

Amazing video ! thank for sharing 🙏 ! great comprehension of techniques used in forest psy style . this will probably help a lot of new producers including me

Thanks alot!!! Really liked this one! I put my filter on 18 and got the bass sound I had in my head. Making a new track thanks to this!

greetings from germany. Thanks for the interestung video. We try this and the bass run and run and run...

top forest bass tutorial on youtube

i would love to see a video that introduce to how make use of reverb and delay especially the use of return channels in forest . thanks again , looking forward to your next videos.

yea nice tips

Hey I love your tutorial it’s great, One thing I’d like to mention that would help with the sound… if you want it to look like the original wave with that slight dip on the left hand side, go to remap 1 on the warp and just move the left hand side of the graph up until you see it turn into the same shape as the VB1. ✌🏽

Nice move with the super easy note length and velocity setup. You might've just changed the way I build my bass racks after all these years. :P

I would absolutely love it if you did a few more of these bass videos about how you make the waves. I have both of your bass packs, and they're great, but the one thing I can't figure out is how you made some of the waves for the darker basses, and it seems like it's really the waves that make some of them sound the way they do.

🤩❤️❤️

Dude thx you to you for what you do having discovered your channel's has improved my sound drastically. I noticed you did not split the fundamental on this bass and was just wondering if there was a specific reason for that?

Dayum boi. Can you do a tutorial on the initial bird like and squelch sounds?

Wow! Very nice channel. You have a great knowledge in wavetable synthesis. I guess i must dive deeper into it. Peace from Poland!

Awesome vid thank you, may I ask what kick you used here?

thanks for the knowledge. Do you do volume adjustment on the base, after the final processing of the velocity range and lfo tool to be in this 2db range (from kick to base) or you just leave it and trust your ears and not the "rule".

I'm recording some bass waves of my old computer pentium two 86x where I have some nice plugins like vb-1 and put in the wavetable of serum

Thank you for this tutorial! Has anyone had issues with the filter in the FX tab of Serum? When I apply the filter, I nearly lose all volume. Playing with it now but not sure what I'm doing wrong.. Perhaps there was an update with Serum..? Thank you for any input

Hello thank u for this great tutorial! Can u tell In what key is the bassline written and how it looks?

Always wanted to ask How have you learnt serums wavetable editor in this detail? Is it just through experimentation or reading material? Or have you done sound engineering? Great video! Thanks

I’m curious on why you prefer to have the high pass for making the ASYMMETRIC effect over the ASYM distortion ? Thanks a lot for the video!

thanks so much for the golden tips

hey, how you doing the voice like you project ?

Hey man great work 😎. I would like to know which program do you use. Cubase or FL.

Thanks for awesome video! Question: What could be the reason that Velocity effect doesn't affect the velocity? Nothing happens when i tweak the output range. I changed the velocity for the bass notes in the midi patch, still no effect!

How do fight the post-ringing from the processing that causes the notes to overlap with each other? Is resampling into audio and cutting the tails for those notes an option for this?

First, I really like your tutorials and your Vibe. But the beginnig really has me wondering how oddly specific the Number 58 is :D Like, did you just try aaaall the possibilitys until you where satisfied? or what was the process involved in finding this exact number?

Hey how do you get all the VB wave forms to add to serum ? Is there a place to download the wave forms from

15:35 "I'm just gonna leave this Warm Tape on, because I've decided I kinda like it." Hahh, what I heard was "Cant pick one i like.. Fuck it, lets decide I like the default, easy enough. Now I can move on." (And I don't have Saturn so hence I assume Warm Tape is default since you say "leave" :) ) And lovely tutorial man, super, it was very educational for me. Good explanations and A/B. And since I'm fairly new to "production" overall, still mostly in "trying to understand sound -phase" (cause I'm retarded in that way that, if I don't understand something properly, my mind kinda says "_______"), so the work in the DAW is fairly slow, haven't DECIDED (hehe!) I like the bass yet xD . So you connected more dots whilst also making them bigger, cheers dude, subbed.

Cmon man..u don't need all that jazz for this type of basic baselines.

What’s ur SoundCloud? 🎉

wavetable vb1 saw ehats is the pack?

How this waveform create in vital?

Should the frequency spectrum slowly degrade from lows to highs or does it not matter at all?

Hey, I have a problem. My bass is sounds really high, not like yours which is low. What could be the problem?

I can't figure out how to make this waveform in Vital, help please

+

i think most of the magic comes from ableton plugins. because i tried to duplicate this in fl studio, but it doesnt sounds same. after you added note lenght plugin, it changed

what about the kick haha :)

não consegui chegar nesse timbre :/

mine is way to quiet even on maxed volume and gain. really weird edit: I started all over again, I cannot follow this guide and produce any similar bassline.

Using fl studio and can't replicate the bassline sadly.

I wait this!! Great video! Thx bro. Check out your email!! Cheers!!!!

First of all, very interesting to mix the wave shape to bring in odd harmonics, and a solid tutorial as per usual! I have one question though, you use the velocity midi controller, but then set the minimum velocity to 127, effectively zeroing its effect.. why? I like the approach because it is very handy to not have to fiddle around with individual midi notes but rather have one automated knob that controls the velocity (genius by the way, same for the length) but why 127? your oscilloscope also shows no real velocity change on the first step. One small add, although there is little to add to this vid, but I found it also works great for more hi frequency rich basses like for hi tech (like VB-1), is instead of using a clean saw wave, use one from an old synth like for example the MS-2000 Their saw also already has a beautiful color to it, creating even more unusual harmonics, a touch really gives it a nice crunch. I used the ms2000 from this one if anyone is interested: www.reddit.com/r/edmproduction/comments/2jhew1/1700_waveforms_for_serums_wavetable_download_link/
