Drum rack for basslines

Post by abcgle » Wed Jul 14, 2010 10:50 pm

I know theres a lot of threads about chopping up basslines. But i had an idea of putting the bounced/chopped up basslines into the drum rack(ableton) to make a bassline.

I find it works wonders!

Having the basslines one on top of the other makes to soo much easier to map out the bassline. Set a loop with a drum beat going and go nuts.

Don't know if its been said before but made a drastic change in sequencing my basslines so thought i would share.

will post a screenshot when i get home from work.

the good thing is you can edit each sample just like using simpler and add effects to each aswell.

I find its just easier to map your bassline out when using your chopped samples in one "clip" rather then having your samples in diffent tracks and clips.

never underestimate how inpsiring it can be PLAYING something out. let it run for your whole tune and play it, fix the mistakes, copy & paste, etc--- but yeah, without a doubt one of the best ways to re-imagine sampled stuff.
