Trailer
Summary
Do you have a song that’s crying out for a synth bass line? Have you ever lost a gig because you can’t call up the right synth sounds without bringing a keyboard to the show?
If you've ever sat down with your bass guitar and a row of effects pedals and tried to replicate the tone of a classic analog synth, you'll know that it's harder than you might think. There are so many variables that it's easy to get lost among all the signal-shaping options. But don’t despair; in this course we’re taking you back to Bunker Studios in Brooklyn, where John Davis is going to share some of his secrets behind the coolest low-end synth sounds out there, and how you can replicate them using just a handful of pedals and a bass guitar.
In this course you’re going to learn:
- The building blocks of analog subtractive synthesis.
- The most commonly found waveforms and filters.
- What effects pedals you’re going to need to emulate some of these sounds
- How to use synth-style modulation in a live performance.
- Why does John use an expression pedal on his board?
- And much more!
