My notes from this Short
01
A quarter note rhythm with space
I open Serum and create a quarter note rolling bass rhythm, with some space between each note.
02
Mono legato and a low filter
Take down the octave and add mono legato. Take envelope 1 down, envelope 2 the same way, and add some release on both envelopes.
Take the filter down to around 100 hertz, and add envelope 2 to it at around 30, so we're not messing with the highs.
03
No random phase for a clean bass
Take down the randomize knob on the phase, so you always have a clean bass. Add an EQ on bell mode and boost the sub, a compressor at around minus 20 dB, and a distortion on sine shaper.
Now you can create snappiness. Automate the cutoff and make it open up during parts of your drop.
