Listen "Classic Trance Kick & Bass Tutorial (Sample)"
Episode Synopsis
Check out the Classic Trance Series here - https://allanmorrowstudios.com/trance-music-category/classic-trance/
Welcome to the first episode of the “How To Make A Classic Trance Track” series where I will be creating a track in the style of a Classic Trance track without the use of hardware!
In this episode, ill be making the Kick & Bass for the track from scratch! You will see exactly what type of kicks can be used for a more classic Trance sound as well as which ones may not be best. (This part can instantly make a track sound more modern if using certain style kicks!)
I’ll also be showing you how to create a thick bass sound from scratch using only stock plugins, and ill also be showing you how you can change the bass up for different tastes and styles that may suit you and the groove you want to achieve.
The tutorial has nothing pre-planned so you get to see the full process from the ground up, along with all the mixing decisions and creative decisions!
The Classic Trance Kick & Bass tutorial covers:
⬤ Kick selection and the characteristics of a kick to be looking for.
⬤ EQing your kick & learning when it’s needed.
⬤ Creating your basses from scratch.
⬤ Creating bass grooves with your MIDI.
⬤ Bass splitting for more control.
⬤ Adding atmosphere to your bass.
⬤ Ducking techniques for that older sound.
⬤ Using filter mapping for different desired effects.
⬤ Mixing, EQ, Levelling, Effects, Saturation, Stereo Field Positioning.
⬤ Using velocity mapping.
⬤ My full thought process behind everything I’m doing and why.
+ Much more!
