Have you ever struggled while creating a heavy Reese bass for Neurofunk or Dubstep? Watch Will making a crunchy, wobbling Reese bass with some tips and tricks using Serum only!

=== Concept of a Reese Bass ===
0:00 intro
0:55 - What is a Reese bass exactly? | Creating a wobbly effect by exploiting the phase cancellation between two slightly detuned saw wave sounds
3:08 - Creating the same wobbly effect with a saw wave and a sine wave for the base frequency of the sine wave
4:11 - Add the reese characteristic by adding distortion with Serum effects

=== How to Manipulate the Reesing Characteristics in Serum Without Post-Proccesing ===
5:17 - Create a macro control for the finetune of the oscillators in opposite directions so the pitch of the oscillators drift apart when the macro is turned up | Control the Reese wobbling speed | Add Distortion back
7:36 - Add a further sine wave frequency with the sub on a higher octave to create reesing in the mid-frequencies and make it more harmonically pure
8:38 - Add noise if you want it to sound more crunchy ;)
8:53 - Control the phase of the sine wave to control the sound of the bass when you first hit the note
9:53 - SERUM EFFECTS |Add a Phaser to hightlight the mid-frequencies similar to a guitar amp | Hyper / Dimension | Chorus to add frequency spread
11:23 - EQ the very high frequencies with a dynamic low-pass that is controlled by the played note
13:15 - Multiband compression | Little reverb
14:00 - Final sound created only in Serum

Happy Producing! :)
