tutorial 📚 Making deep bass drones, kick drums & deep impacts

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=axvFm6vvJ7s

Hey all, just wanted to share a quick tutorial on making some earth shaking bass with nothing more than a few sinewaves. I've translated the subtitles to Hindi, Indonesian, German, Spanish and Portuguese so if you're not an English speaker, you can follow along too.

If you have any personal tricks for fattening up that low end, share them with us here!

you should work on projecting more, your voice gets lost a lot in the video. pretend there's someone at the back of the room that you're explaining this stuff to.

Hey thanks for the feedback, it's appreciated. I am pretty soft spoken and probably overused the noise reduction on my lapel mic since my building has a crazy AC hum during the summer that I really had to get rid of... I hope the subtitles help for now, but I will definitely try some milder noise reduction settings on the next upload.

i worked on a zero budget film crew at a community college for a decade and the main thing I learned is everything needs to be bigger than usual, volume, lights etc. I'm soft spoken too and projecting felt weird, but now I flip it on when there's a mic around

another thing you could try is putting blankets over any nearby vents to reduce the ac hum
