Sampling basslines is a quickfire way to get started on a project. And therein lies the real charm of the bassline – each effect induces a different reaction amongst its listeners.
Amongst many other ways, using a punchy bassline, like on Good Times, adds groove and parallels the listener’s natural heartbeat (biorhythm), encouraging one to bop his or head along with the song. How you manipulate the bass of a song will affect how you perceive the higher frequencies of the song. That’s exactly what a good bassline is capable of achieving, so the music is felt, and not heard. What results is a colourful and buoyant mix that is a real treat to your ears. The sampled bassline lays the foundation for the song, complementing its funky upbeat rhythm section.
You can tell the difference between the two from the off. It’s one that etches itself in your memory, not least because of its appearance on The Sugarhill Gang’s Rappers Delight… It’s the low-end bass frequencies that really connect your listeners with the heart and soul of what it is you are trying to express.įor example, take the classic bassline riff in Chic’s Good Times… “Unselected” is used in the passive to mean it was never selected in the first place.A great bassline is central to creating a piece of music that gets the people moving – whatever your style, whatever your genre, and whatever your creative process. When multiple patterns are selected for continuous automated playback, one is then prompted, by right-clicking, to “Unselect all patterns”. I see from other users’ comments that the issue of Scaler copying two versions of a recorded Midi Capture into the host, as I reported earlier, is not unique to Cakewalk.įinally for today, semantics. When the midi data was copied to another softsynth, e.g. Playback of a piano pattern, with Cakewalk sending midi back to Scaler was occasionally very inconsistent regarding note velocities and occasional notes not even being played. Then, all options (settings, instruments, etc) lost their functionality, and only the keys and pads could be activated with the mouse or keyboard. The CLEAR button would also read “CLEAP”. Recording a midi take of a pattern when played on my AKAI MPK mini 3 controller keyboard occasionally caused the MIDI CAPTURE button to only half illuminate. Scaler crashed on numerous occasions, in addition to acting rather inconsistently. Quite a frustrating long session using Scaler within Cakewalk today.
