My second go at this style of Neuro music, and I'm really having fun with it. Last week, I had downloaded a sample pack from Keota called 'Tackle Box' and sampled a bass synth included in the pack. This week, I learned how to make that same kind of bass synth myself. It was quite time consuming, but I managed to create a sound I really liked! Once many minutes of bass was played and recorded, I built a drum pattern I liked and then brought in the bass to chop into grooves. Xfer's LFOTool has really helped in this process and is on pretty much everything.

Cool trick used this time: bounce down and reverse the bass once the riff is finalized, then put 100% wet reverb on the reversed bass- then bounce that down and reverse it again so the reversed reverb now plays along with the bass riff. Gives it an otherworldly texture that fits directly alongside the bass.

whoa, nice job on the reverse reverb!

this has some seriously hot bass modulations here.  good job putting in the work to make something on your own!!!!  I need to follow your example, i'm totally a preset junkie wink
