Saytek

Saytek (aka Joseph Keevill) has gathered some serious momentum over the last few years, becoming one of the electronic music scene’s most in-demand live acts. With global recognition for his live modular shows and releases on Carl Cox and Christopher Coe’s Awesome Soundwave label.

Saytek has garnered acclaim the world over with his improvised live shows that see him using a myriad of kit including analog synths, sequencers and drum machines alongside cutting edge digital technology to perform a unique blend of deep & hypnotic techno, acid and house that is forward-thinking yet not forgetting influences from Detroit or the UK’s and Europe’s fiercely inventive 90’s electronic movement.

About This Course
Learn how to make killer basslines in Ableton Live as Saytek, shows how to tune samples, convert them to MIDI arrangement and easily identify notes in a scale which can be used to create a bassline. 

In this masterclass, he shows us how to add chords and automation to breathe life into the new sound. Saytek moves on from arrangement and into techniques to improve the sound of a bass, utilising methods such as sidechain compression, track layering and altering dynamics using an LFO.

This lesson is perfect for anyone wanting to learn how processing an instrument can enhance its sound. Everything used is available as Ableton Live stock plugins.

You will learn:

• How to tune samples
• How to use a piano roll to arrange samples
• An easy method for finding the notes within a scale
• How to write a bassline
• How to layer multiple basslines
• How to add variation and movement into the bass sound
• How chords can be used to compliment the bass
• Adding harmonics using distortion
• Using a low frequency oscillator to alter dynamics
• Changing circuit options within a filter to achieve contrasting sonic properties
• Using sidechain compression to create space in the mix
• How to use clip automation
• Controlling the voices, unison and glide parameters within Live’s analog synth
• Layering sub-frequencies on a bassline
• Creating space within a mix with EQ

Lessons: 

1. Introduction: 
Saytek reveals why less is more when creating a fat bass and how to prepare a sample for arrangement within a piano roll.

• Introduction
• The importance of a simple bass line
• Identifying the pitch of a sound

2. Writing a Bassline: 
How to write a bassline. From finding which notes belong within the key of the song to the evolution of a bass sound and how it can be varied depending on intention.

• Tip for easily finding the notes in a scale
• Writing a bassline
• Creating an epic bassline

3. Adding Variation:
Once a bassline has been made, it can be manipulated to add movement and dynamics. This chapter shows how to polish the arrangement by adding chords and automation.

• Adding variation to piano roll
• Adding clip automation
• Adding chords to complement the bassline
• Adding harmonics using distortion
• Using a low frequency oscillator to alter dynamics
• Changing circuit options within a filter to achieve contrasting sonic properties
• Using sidechain compression to create space in the mix
• How to use clip automation
• Controlling the voices, unison and glide parameters within Live’s analog synth
• Layering sub-frequencies on a bassline
• Creating space within a mix with EQ

4. Enhancing a Bassline: 
Saytek shows how saturation can add ‘grit’ and demonstrates how an LFO can cause a sound to evolve. This technical lesson focuses on enhancing sounds and getting them to breathe with techniques such as sidechain compression.

• Adding distortion.
• Using LFOs to add movement
• Changing the circuit option within an auto filter
• Applying compression to your basses
• Using sidechain compression
• Adding movement with clip automation

5. Enhancing a Bassline 2:
Ableton Live’s analog synth is explored as using parameters such as glide and unison give the bass complex sonic qualities and ensure the bass fits seamlessly with the track. Saytek shows how to remove rumble and layer the bass to fill out the low end.

• Recap of second bassline from part 1
• Using unison to add chorusing
• Improving cohesion with voices and legato
• Layering sub frequencies with bassline
• Adding harmonics to sub-bass
• Attenuating unnecessary frequencies
• Blending in elements of a track

6. Making a Groovy Bassline:
Moving forward from making epic basslines, Saytek shows how he adapts his method to make a funkier sound that pumps bass on the offbeat.

• Preparing a MIDI track for easy composition
• Writing a groovy bassline

7. Live Q&A Part 1:

• If you’ve got two basslines, is it not more difficult to mix down your low end with your kick?
• Would you sidechain?
• How easy is it to use Operator to design your bassline if you’re trying to achieve a 106.
• When layering basslines, would you group them and EQ it as a group, or EQ them separately?

8. Live Q&A Part 2:
Saytek answers questions on the usage of compressors and mixdown tips in this Q&A

• On the glue compressor you’re using (or any compressor) what is the makeup doing? Does it make it louder?
• Does layering a bass by duplicating a track use less CPU power than using an instrument rack?
• What’s the best way of getting my bass to boom on cheap speakers? I’ve tried layering them.
• Any tips for getting out of a rut when writing basslines?
• I thought it was important (when mixing down) to listen on sh•t speakers?
• Sometimes I use one long note that’s sidechained to make my bassline, is that too extreme?
• I’ve been recommended to produce in mono. Do you think that helps out?
• What are triplets?
• Some frequencies in my bass are higher. Which frequencies should I put in mono?
  

  Frequently Asked Questions:

  1. Innovative Business Model:
     • Embrace the reality of a genuine business! Our approach involves forming a group buy, where we collectively share the costs among members. Using these funds, we purchase sought-after courses from sale pages and make them accessible to individuals facing financial constraints.
