episode is Metro boomin I'm in my studio
right now Los Angeles I'm show you on my
razor blade how I add to my 808 and laid
my bass lines up
first before I start I want to talk
about how important it is you know
keeping your 808s and certain keys of
course you have know whatever key you
want but the ADA way is basically it's
an instrument itself so it's better for
you to keep it in key with the rest of
your beat it flows better it sounds
better it doesn't sound out of place and
random you know it's smooth it's music
here's my 808
so the eight oh it's already in the same
key as the melody so they should flow
together so you basically get the
picture with that I use a lot of sounds
and like a broad range of things and my
beats but um a lot of little like mango
tools just quick stuff towering on my
brain where they are are in Nexus I
really use next distance I started
making beats
I really don't tell anybody too much
anything I do I like to be real like
real secretive and possessive about that
but um this bassline I used in this beat
I pretty much used it a lot and a lot of
my beats I won by future in Kanye West I
won Skyfall by Travis Scott a lot of
various songs it's just I just love the
way it sounds I love the tone of it I'm
gonna give you guys that one that's how
the Nexus over here in the dance volume
one expansion pack
it's called Prince sidechain bass that's
really like my go-to bass line like when
I'm making a beat now my beats you know
I usually love having points where like
a bass line of breakdown so I have that
here in this beat you know I like to
switch back and forth between when I
play with it you know I play what I got
for the bass line on this one
actually have a synth following the same
leaders the bass line
now if you really listen you can notice
the 808 the tail of it has spilled over
into the sub and like create like a
wobbly like distortion noise I don't
know if you really hear it and play one
more time
it doesn't really start on point so to
fix that what I always do and I've done
it since the beginning me making beats
whatever the baseline zone or the 808
vice versa or whatever the cut if you go
over here on to your plugin click the
miscellaneous tab and whatever it's cut
by so this is cut five by five I go over
to the 808 this is one sixteen by
sixteen so I just match that and put a
five by five
and okay exactly when the next same
place so this is the baseline place 808
will just completely shut down and it'll
just be nice and clean and start
see I just came straight in without any
of the myth that's basically how I like
my bass lines down and keep my ada
weights and pocketing and key with the
rest of my track
