rolling basslines

Keep the rhythm going Another way to add some excitement and energy into your mix is using rolling basslines they are easy to make. You basically just make them with a tonic for example whatever chord your in if its bflat or cmaj you just take that one note and go up an octave. Then you put them around the sub bass if  your sub bass falls on 3 5 7 9 11 and 13 etc then your rolling basslines will hit around 1,2,4,6,8,10 and 12. To get that true trance rolling bassline what you want to do is have some interplay with both notes the one up ,higher up an octave,and the lower one. and play around with it with your sub bass and your kick until you get it just right. dont forget to add some distortion ! Incase you need some help look here . What i done here is find an octave and go up one octave in this case its a2 and a3 and alternate the notes. in my case i chose bflat and bflat. You can choose whatever note you want just use two of the same notes. To get more creative make yo

The Super Saw

I see  lot of people still struggle with making the supersaw  eventhough its outdated as its not the 90s anymore.It still is popular and useful  today but ,more of in a limited role as in the 90s when it was the main anthem throughout the whole song now the supersaw is still useful. If you want to know how to make a supersaw keep in mind you dont need to always have to use a saw you could mix it with a square or triangle or use two triangles its all up to the sound your trying to create. Try to experiment with it. on to the super saw tutorial 1 power up one of your soft synths that is a analog soft synth dont use any emulation soft synths or rompler synths most rompler synths just play the sound of the saw but ,your not really creating the sound,and emulation synths already have the sound of a famous synth again your not really doing much creation in the process of the supersaw. So my suggestion is to only use a analog soft synth for this like v-station or synth1 etc 2 to fat
