Great stuff! Thank you.
Is there the full music? That is really good
that's incredibly inspiring, thanks!
Are you using stock virtual instruments from studio one ? They all sound great and you showcase them perfectly in these lessons!
very instructional, thanks! what are the drum and bass midi vst being used? They sound super clean
I just recently discovered your channel, and just stopped by to say thanks. I enjoy your attention to detail and precision, and your excellent longform composing videos. It's very motivational to watch other people at work – it has definitely increased my own productivity in the last week. I haven't done any MIDI slapping in years, and yet here I am, totally in the jazz dance mood (here's mine: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xlW9q_7AMF0 )
Hey Max. Thanks for this again. I was also gonna ask. Can you also programming like those bass slides here as well in the midi?
Stinky face for this groove! Good job Max
Fantastic trilogy of bass writing videos Max, really useful and given me plenty to try out.
I'm glad I learned more of this. Thanks, Max! Can't wait to see other videos like this like programming strings, piano, woodwinds, and maybe guitar? I dont know how mch time you have but I am always looking forward to whatever knowledge you got to offer
Insta-like! I love this series! Its so helpfull. Thank you Max! ????????????
great series and even greater song, this was crazy
Hey Max I don't know if youd be up for this but maybe for your next challenge maybe try to make a saxohphone type funky groovy beat
well-discussed material, everything arranged and well thought-out in the bass line, thank you Max for giving us so much practical knowledge in a very accessible way
????????????
Love this! These three videos show how much more diverse the bass and the bass line can be, than just an accompaniment instrument.
Do you sidechain the bass to the kick when they "collide" in frequences, which was more the case in part two of this series?
Anyway, great walkthrough of what different possibilities there are for piecing together a groove.
Excellent tutorial, but you don't let the bass play alone , or to play louder than the other tracks to understand first the whole track, and after analyze it
Hey….. This bassline sounds a bit different than the one on your live stream
