Adding a Bassline and Finishing Touches

In this video

In this lesson Andy shows us how to add a bassline, and then talks about what else we might want to do with this song to take it from a rough demo to a final mix.

Key points

  • We can input a Bassline in the same way as we did with drums - choose a VSTI and a preset, draw in notes on the Piano Roll, and then change the parameters to get a sound you like
  • Other instruments can be added in exactly the same way - just find the instrument you want and draw it in on the Piano Roll
