10 Rolling Basslines Every Producer Should Know (Techno, House, Trance)

If you make electronic music, these are 10 rolling basslines you should know how to make. From Trance to Techno to House, making a solid rolling bassline is a sure fire way to get the low end of your track grooving.
Please note! Most of the examples I have the bass mixed a little louder than it should be for an in-production environment so it's easier to hear

    I don’t even produce music with rolling bass lines much, but Shane’s tutorials and concepts are always so pro. I can tell that you all grind really hard making presets, tutorials and sample packs, and you all breathe, eat and sleep EDM. Your contribution to the producer community is epic. Much thanks!

    Your videos are top notch. Well structured and edited with zoom ins, etc. You are right, it it really took off with electronic disco, Giorgio Moroder, Bony M etc. On the subject of adding a fifth. The famous organ base (Stonebridge) is just that, a fifth. Also many bass patches do add a fifth with the second osc. Sounds great indeed. Good work!

    Interesting stuff :) I was ready to think that sliding notes to the triplet groove was gonna sound like garbage, but it was actually pretty cool. Like a slight variation of quantizing with swing. I learned something new!

    Also, mapping velocity to the noise level. Duh! That's just such a musical/realistic idea. Don't know why I've never thought of this before :)

    Most synths will give you those two mod sources and if for whatever reason you’re using something that doesn’t, just export the sound as a sample and import it into the sampler in logic. The logic quick sampler has a filter and velocity mod.

    Hey man I loved the video. Question tho. How do you get your GarageBand format to look like that. Mine is so simplified and has not even half the tools you have on yours to edit your software

    Hey thanks! This software is called Logic Pro it’s like the glowed up version of garage band so while it looks similar it’s got more features

    do a dynamic eq or MB compressor and trigger a side chain to the harmonics of the sub you choose on all the separate layers attack/release of choice - where its not audible but gives you that extra 1-2db of headroom - when coming to mastering you're bass will bump that much harder..psychoacoustic affect ...

    It comes with the Evoxa bank for serum. If you don’t have that and don’t want those sounds shoot me an email to Shane at echo sound works and I’ll send you just the skin

    What if your using a rumble kick where the rumble kick has a tail for the sub bass.

  • @EchoSoundWorks

    I would have to hear an example but usually where those sub tone in a kick i would try to first make sure my kick is as short as it can be and still maintain the sub/tone I’m after and then second, make sure the bass for the bass line doesn’t have those low frequencies in the kick tail and three, then see if my side chain or volume shaping get the bass out of the way of the kick tail as much as it can while maintaining the bounce of the bass line

    I could probably do a Melodic Techno DJ set with my Trance records from the early to mid 90’s.
