Because of exams, this is not finished! ): But I've uploaded and entered anyway! (: Go easy on me
Hehe!Tutorial
Right. As this is a last minute thing, and because of my numerous amount of exams; this is a very last minute thing. In my remix, there isn't really many things I can do the actual tutorial on except the bass, and it has been resampled and destroyed so many times and I've been building it up for so long that I don't even know how to recreate it. So, the topic I've decided to do my tutorial on is...
Resampling.
Basically, resampling is taking a sound, turning it to audio, and putting it back into the sequencer. This is an extremely useful effect for many reasons like:
o Saving CPU on large projects
o To make it easier to work with and edit as it's in audio
o 'Fucking shit up.'
… among other reasons...
Pt 1.
I'm going to do a little tutorial on making a bass sound. A reesy kind of bass sound.
First, get a synth. Any synth. Make some saw waves, detune them slightly, and add any sort of distortion and phaser effects you can think of until you get a nice meaty, full sound reese sound with a decent amount of high, mids and low end.

Pt 2.
Now, what you want to do is export one note, or a small pattern like I have to an audio file. As a wav. For this next part, you're going to need a sampler. I use Kontakt, but there are free samplers which can be just as useful for this sound.

Open up your reese sound into the sampler and begin by setting it up so that it's playing on the right note.
What I like to do here is open up the sound twice into the sampler, and detune one of them by 1 or 2 cents. I feel this gives it a really cool phased kind of sound. Next, in the sample or outside or it, I will add some more effects like distortion, flangers, phasers etc. But try not to overdo it as you don't want to end up with a weak sound.

Pt 3.
Right. This is where it's hard to make a tutorial for. Anything goes – literally. Go crazy with filters, resample it again, and again, and again! The sky's the limit! On this reese, what I did was I make a little pattern, and filtered it a little. Then I exported the audio out, and opened it back up as an audio file into my sequencer. I then cut it up and rearranged it until I was happy with it.
PORTAMENTO IS YOUR FRIEND.
I sliced up the audio file, and pitch it around. I reversed some segments and just tried to make a general rhythm.
Here it is on it's own:

I hope this tutorial helps guys, thanks for reading! Also, everything here should be taken with a pinch of salt, in other words, EXPERIMENT! (:
Good luck, and remember, have fun!
Ekol.
despite the haste you have a good chance of winning something...
