Keep them coming. I always get good inspiration from your tutorials!

One suggestion I have would be for the philosophy behind arrangements, but that may be a subject too broad for such a tutorial.

Thanks for the tutorial i will try this out for sure. I'm curious though; when you change the bass notes, how does that effect the kickline?. Since the kickline and bassline play at the same time, Do you have to change the transpose of the kickline everytime you change the notes of the bass?.

Thanks

cool thing!
coincidently i was listening to Astrix - "Tweaky" and wondering how they got their kick/bass to drive...then i click on your link and voila!

i accidentally found this out a while ago, great tutorial tho, i just do it through the view window, rather than using a sampler etc as you have.. great idea!

Thanks for this, your tutorials are awesome, all really useful stuff and going into detail really helps understanding it too.

suggestions for others? perhaps your approach to selection/programming of sounds...

Really appreciate it, keep them coming!

As usual great tutorial - I've done this sort of thing before but I love the way they are explained in such a straightforward and fluid manner.

I have been trying to recreate that effect/sound for a few weeks now. All this time i have been thinking it was fm synthesis but i didnt realise it was simply a kick.

I have learnt something new from most of your tutorials and i love that they are something useful and current rather than the very general how to use (insert DAW) 15 minute video where afterwards you feel ripped off and havent really learnt much at all. You definately have a gift to teach others.
