This is the 3rd video in my sound design series which will introduce common bass tones and show you how to create them in any synth. The synth I use in these tutorials is called Xfer SERUM – I use this because I find that it is one of the easiest to teach with. These synthesis principles can be used with most synths. If this is too fast for you, be sure to start with my beginner sound design video first – https://youtu.be/NJLIS2MkFe4 Join The “In The Mix” discord server: https://discord.gg/sBbsE6e ▶TIME STAMPS 1) 808 Time – 1:30 Originally from the TR 808 drum machine, we will synthesise it from a basic Sine wave. This is a common bass used in many genres of music. Originally widespread in hip hop, it has now moved into pop music with full force and you’ll likely hear this sort of bass in the charts and as the exclusive bass sound from any producer with the prefix “lil”. 2) Pluck / House Bass Time – 6:40 Very common in dance and house music. This pluck bass provides a really solid foundation to the song and is easily heard on smaller monitor systems too! Use a simple Square, Sine or Saw wave and adjust the filter envelope to give a really solid pluck. Try using a lower octave than I used in the video (Headphones were tricking me with the bass!) 3) Growl Bass Time – 11:30 A fundamental of many genres including dance and dubstep. This bass is impossible to miss and thanks to its rich harmonic content, it will sound clear even on small phone speakers. Use a single Saw wave for the bass and a stereo spread of saw waves in a higher octave to make a really wide and professional sounding bass. Be careful with stereo widening effects and check-in mono to make sure the bass sounds as epic in the real world as it does in your studio! 4) Sub Time – 15:40 A classic. Use a sine wave and play low octaves. Try adding distortion (tube, tape, preamp) to make it cut through on smaller speakers. Sidechain to the kick and it’ll be perfect.

Micahel Wynne is a recording artist and mixing engineer with a passion for teaching (and instant ramen). In 2015 I discovered my enthusiasm for music and audio; I learned how to record and produce songs in my university student room with a just cheap laptop and FL Studio. After several months of working in audio sessions between school assignments, I decided to leave uni with a 2-year engineering diploma to pursue a career in music. I wanted to learn everything I could about the industry and the artistic process, so I started making original music as half of the duo “Miavono”. In late 2016 I began my journey on YouTube, sharing my knowledge and experiences with audio in the form of tutorials on “In The Mix”. I quickly grew a community of over 120,000 producers, artists, and audio professionals, a group of people whose passions aligned with mine. Last year I built my own home studio from the ground up in my back garden, set in the rural highlands of Scotland, and have since been supported by and involved with some of the greatest people in the industry.
