Psy Bassline for Starters

Since I don’t like to be considered a troll when I’m not trolling, and neither I want anyone to freak out by the though I didn’t know that the saw wave might be a starting point for a Psy Bassline, here is a video:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fLkrLDMz7Ps
Now, I don’t think it is good. I think it’s better than about half of the tutorials on YouTube but it does not matter at all. To me, the only question is whether I could imagine it in one of my favorite commercial tracks? And the answer was most of the time a "no".
That’s why I spent a half a year on it and not that I didn’t realize my synth had a saw wave and a low pass filter.
The video is not the result of that half-year. If I make a decent one, I will never show the process to anyone. It’s just that throwing a filter on a saw wave is not the end of the story.
There is little connection between sound design skills and hearing. I can have near to zero design skills and at the same time, I can hear if a sound sucks. It does not mean I can do it better otherwise I didn’t spend that amount of time on it.
By the way, there are a few tutorials I liked soundwise but not the style I like.
My all time favorite is not a modern one. UX - Dominion, 5:50

Maybe it’s the mixing. To me, this few seconds was perfect. Although, it’s not the type of bass I was working on for the first time.

Here's a thought. If that's what you want, don't spend ages in a video messing around while you insert a plugin, accidentally delete it, insert it again, mess around some more...
OTOH, you might have found an niche in faintly comic production videos.

Just an FYI. Every 57 seconds you’ll never get back.

And continues to demonstrate redundancy: This time using a delay plugin instead of additional notes in the piano roll.
Still. I guess it doesn't matter how you get there as long as you get there.
However...
Remind us why we're helping you again?

I think it was that bit that more or less convinced me it has to be a wind-up. If it is meant to be satire on dance-music production tutorials, it's a winning idea though. What's the most byzantine procedure for getting repeated notes? It's this!Unaspected wrote: ↑Wed Jul 17, 2019 11:24 am And continues to demonstrate redundancy: This time using a delay plugin instead of additional notes in the piano roll.

I feel I need to step in for this guy.
He’s a newb but clearly he’s driven. Give him credit for learning, sheesh. Sure he’ll f*ck up from time to time but that’s part of the journey.

Man that guy was something else.
However I recall when I first started out i bought the following in only a few months (software wasn’t a thing then):
- Novation Drum Station
- Novation Bass Station
- Novation A-Station
- Nord Lead
- Juno 106
- Akaa S5000
- plus more that I’ve now forgotten.
That’s easily more than $3k. It’s very easy to get carried away when it’s a new hobby.
