Dear Music Producers,

I came across this cool tutorial for making 808 basslines, which have been the "in thing" for everything from hiphop/trap to R&B, Pop and more! This tutorial really focuses on making these sounds in Reason, but I intend to try and repeat this using Logic and my custom selection of synths, saturators and distortion.

To learn more about Reason: http://www.propellerheads.se/reason Take a listen to Hip Hop, Trap, Pop, EDM, or just about any other genre these days and you'll hear the distinct tones of the "808 Bass" - a term used to describe tuned and pitched sub-bass lines whose origins come from a classic drum machine, not a bass synth.

If I come up with anything cool, I'll be sure to post my own tutorial and share the sounds! If you have any sound design ideas, feel free to share in the comments!
