I really like this tutorial and its helped me a lot however i’m intrested in how the bassline notes were chosen and how they managed to work with the key of the sample thats was pitched up. Any help or further explanation appreciated. Thanks:)

hi there,br
br
the bass line notes were picked pretty much as they were in the video - i do a lot of trial and error, just moving notes about. I think the key was perhaps A# Minor from memory, so as long as you placed a note on a key from that scale you couldn’t go too far wrong.br
br
For funky house basslines it always helps to almost mimmic a bass guitar as well, so a low note for example G1 followed by a short note one octave up G2.br
br
Regarding the pitched up sample - if it wasn’t pitched up the bassline would still work by dropping the bass notes by 3st (i think it was 3 st i pitched the sample at)br
Thanks Bryan, makes sense now. The funky house tutorial is pretty relevent to me at the minutes asnbsp;I have been sourcing old disco samples filtering the bass freq off and then trying to add my own bassline - adding the bassline was were i was stuggling.
has anybody tried to emulate the the pop/slap style of bass playing or would it be easier to just sample it?br
