Help with making a similar baseline

Need help making a baseline like this



Above & Beyond - Can't Sleep (Radio Edit) - YouTube



Anyone?

Can’t be that hard. And probably already discussed or, maybe even better, tutorialized :wink:



I think the bassline is made out of sampling the kickdrum. Try to play with it in Simpler for instance. Increase the attack. Add overdrive (distortion). EQ. And sidechain it to the kick.

Combination saw and sine wave

Saw -2 octaves, sine -1 octave

Low-pass filter with a dash of resonance

Slight distortion

Side-chain compression on the kick



And you’re done

^^ How is it even possible that you just know all of that? Ugh I’ve got ALOT of work to do.

That’s incredibly simple as a case of sound design. Very basic :slight_smile:
