This is what your Simpler should look like so far. Underneath Beats you’ll see that the LFO default is programmed for 1/16. Next, we’re going to change the LFO rate from Hz to Beats by clicking the little music note. You should be able to notice a slight delay in the opening of the sound, which is caused by the envelop that we just adjusted. This is what the bass sounds like after processing thus far. We’ll also be altering the envelope (abbreviated “ENV”), which is the change in intensity of a sound over time, setting it to -72. LFO stands for low-frequency oscillation, and its a very effective way to modulate synthesizers and samples to create pulses and sweeps. Your settings should look similar to the ones below.įirst thing we’re going to do is raise the LFO to 24. You’ll know that they are turned on when they are highlighted in yellow, verses greyed out when they are off. Turn on the two filters, one in the bottom left corner and one between Volume and Pitch. Currently, it has no processing on it, so what you’ll hear below is the raw sample. I have a nice bass sound that has a lot of grit and sub. Next, find a bass sample that you’d like to use. The default settings should look like the ones below. Open up Live and load Simpler onto an empty MIDI track. This can be done effectively in Simpler, one of Ableton’s sampling instruments. Everyone recognizes that deep, low, rumbling sub-sound that we all love and feel in our chest when we blast music through speakers.Īrtists like Pretty Lights, Skream, and Skrillex have all mastered the technique of bass wobbling to create movement in their tracks, and contrary to popular belief, it is actual a very easy thing to do.
