leeguirado Posted January 14, 2017 Share Posted January 14, 2017 I am producing uplifting trance music (Trying to produce lol) in the style of Aly & Fila. I love using lots of acid lines/stabs and big melodies. I am wondering if any Aly & Fila fans could tell me how many basslines they would typically use? Especially in tracks like breeze, napoleon, Tula. I tend to start making basslines (3-5) but they just seem really muddy and dont seem to have much rhythm/movement. I use this many just because thats what i see from most trance tutorials on youtube. Aly & Fila from what i hear/think dont seem to use many basslines as they sound so clear. But they have all this atmosphere from acids, plucks, atmospheric effects etc. Any bassline tips would be great! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gegé1650507544 Posted March 2, 2017 Share Posted March 2, 2017 Hey, I am also producing uplifting Trance and from what I learned is that you don't really have a rule to how many basses you use although producers tend to use 2-3 mid basses (one on the high side of the eq and two covering the mids) like to use 4 and pan two to the 20/30% - left and right and the other two around 10% left/right. To make sound immersive with movement you need to layer them with a different pattern, it's also good to experiment with velocity in the mid bass. Also very important in the mid bass always High pass them at around 160-230hz as they can get muddy because of the useless low end they tend to produce and can cover your sub bass.

leeguirado Posted March 6, 2017 Author Share Posted March 6, 2017 Hey, thanks for the good advice. i have tried this now and have especially found that routing the cutoff with the velocity works really well to create movement. thanks again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
