synthet - how to bass (bonus vocal version) lyrics

[spoken word]
let’s talk about basslines
and how to make ’em move
let’s start with something a bit less wacky
the easiest possible bassline would look something like this
by just splitting the lengths it grooves more
shorten
now add some steps up to your root tones (mmm)
some octaves
shorten it down for that slap feel (mmm, bass slaps)
a good thing to note is that a bass sounds different when slapped, not just an octave
we can take that into account
in flex, for example, they have specific bass slap presets
we can use for only the slaps
it can be worth going through the extra mile for these sounds
like finding a nice bass slide
chords, hit up alt v
to reveal the ghost notes your chord progression
take the notes from here to your bassline
it’s usually nice to land on the root tones, at the start of each bar
but after that, we can play around
maybe steal some of the piano’s rhythm
groove
a bassline’s groove might at times get more obvious in a broader context
when you add the shakers, a guitar, and so on, counter rhythms will appear
a foundation, build on it
so don’t be hard on yourself until you’ve added more stuff
find inspiration anywhere
let the bassline direct the drums
or anything really
when ludwig göransson created “redbone” by childish gambino
he added a slight “uh” right at the bass slap
your different parts can inspire one another (ohh)
be open to it
the lead melody you created might double down as a great bassline
and always, to imitate reality, it is nice to just slightly offset your notes
this is right off the pen
but with velocity changes, timing differences, groovier
it’s subtle, but it’s nice
thank you for watching, and have a nice day
