​@_ENOC You have to read the manuals. Most modern software synth (VSTi), like Serum, Vital, Spire, Dune, Avenger, Phaseplant, Falcon (even the old Sylenth) etc. have this option. There are rare exeptions, like Pigments from Arturia (which is a shame for such a synth). But take care and it's not shown in this video: When using an EQ for removing the low end, you will mostly shift the phase again and your hard work is ruined 😂

Thank youuuu 👊 happy you enjoyed this!

Great tutorial. Really important to point out at the end that the relation of the kick to the bass changes when your bass changes notes but the kick holds the same pitch. I guess another thing you could try is shifting the kick's fine pitch slightly for different bass notes, but either way you approach it, it may need some automation or fine tuning to match kicks with changing basslines if you want to get to that level of polish. There's a recent plugin this past year called Mastering the Mix FUSER which has a nice built-in feature that handles smart EQ dynamic ducking and auto-phase optimization. It analyzes something like a kick vs. bass playing over like 10-15 seconds and it will auto-rotate the phase to the optimal placement that gives you the strongest correlation of the two audio signals at once. It's convenient considering any additional mixing you do in a track, such as EQ, distortion, compression, etc. all makes slight additional waveform changes, which may undo some of the work you do further up in the signal chain, like changing the initial phase knob all the way back in Serum. You can instead just put FUSER at the end of the bass FX chain, and re-run the phase auto-correction.

Excellent, thanks for sharing ❤

@TheCosmicAcademy it definitely made a massive difference, especially when you move the phase using automation to tune up with your kick drums. You can really hear the difference when you do this in real time.

I wish there were more music production videos like this one. It's crucial to rely on your ears, close eyes when changing sliders/knobs values. Never rely much only on spectrums/oscilloscopes/other graphical displays, those are just great supplements for your ears! if it sounds good = good if it sounds good + you are aware of such slight details on the oscilloscope + you have more control over your sound = PERFECT

Funny thing is, on my desktop speakers, I couldn't hear the difference, but then I put on my in-ear monitors and could hear the difference. On the one hand: This is thought provoking on a lot of levels. Although, I feel like there are times I like how the phase cancellation sounds. It might give the kick a slight accent that compliments things. On the other hand: There are definitely times I don't want it, and it exists, and now knowing this is another tool to the arsenal of things to try is useful. But it still makes it clear this can be somewhat subtle and then you have to know the right context within which those knobs make a difference. I tried playing with them in a different context, didn't hear a difference, so I thought I'll have to figure it out later.

That works with VSTI synths for bass (which I've never liked using) it's going to be hard with vintage beasts on the phase. But I have to say in my 30 years producing I've never really tried this. Nice one :)

I bounce my kick sample and bass both to audio files, then manually sidechain by shortening the kick sample and putting a fade in on the bass and shortening the beginning of it for each downbeat. And as far as consistency goes, I copy and paste the bass for each downbeat so it's the same thing every time. Thoughts?

What if I don’t use Serum? This video would have been more helpful if you could apply this concept on many synths. And what about samples?

@harmonicresonanceproject

6 ай бұрын

This would not apply to samples as they are not generated on the fly in this manner. Always good to keep an ear out for phase issues in a mix and invert phase to just check sometimes (or, in Hardstyle, to see if a kick pops more if u reverse phase, eg) , but this is all perhaps much more of a problem using things like Serum to generate kicks in the first place.

for the kick/bass phase automation, I wonder if you could just dial in the osc phases and then throw a 0 feedback 100% wet delay at a milliseconds scale to tweak the phase (with some automation) this could affect the attack timing on a minuscule level but it would still be like pocket playing

Question 🙋‍♂️! Now, I found this very intriguing and helpful. However, I noticed that the kick used had a sub level with it. The technique described, does it apply to the kicks with sub already in it, or is it just kick only? I ask this because I usually separate the kick notes from sub and mix those separately. I find it better for mastering as well. Don’t get me wrong though, what you described basically made my life a lot easier. I just wanted to know because I was confused. Edit for spelling btw

Sorry, coming from other genres of production i am not fully following as i dont use serum but want to try to understand how this applies to other instruments. I get how you can shift phase on things but are the both kick and bass coming out of serum in this example? And is the bass triggerred to restart by each kick hit to start at the exact same time relative to the kick eack kick hit? If so then i understand this. But if its not then i am having trouble comprehending this because then each individual hit would need to be phase adjusted.

@TheCosmicAcademy

The kick is a repeating audio sample…the bass is coming from the synth, serum! We’re just playing with the relationship when they overlap and perform at the same time trying to create as much consistency as possible. If you didn’t have serum, some other synths allow you to adjust the phase of the oscillator. If you’re using audio samples for bass you can adjust phase using “MFreeformPhase” for a free option!
