What do you need to create a groovy driven, complex sounding bassline? Plugins, analog gear, modular gear, the latest synthesizer advertiset by some fancy schmancy music magazine? Of course, no offense you can use whatever fits your needs. But for those who are limited I wanted to show a little bit of a different approach to this with sounds that could even be some found sounds from recordings from your environment.
In this video I want to share some approaches on how to use one-shot samples and a free max4live device to create some groovy basslines that are actually usable inside a track.
