and welcome to another tutorial today I'm teaching guys how to do base glides
and contact I did a video on base glides before and it probably wasn't as good as
this this one should be a lot better I'm going to show you guys how to do glide
in contact so yeah let's jump into it so what you'll need to get started is any
contact and an 808 patch I'm using 808 warfare
first I'm gonna show you guys what these glides sound like you might have an idea
of what they sound like but just listen to how clean these specific ones are
yeah sounds pretty good right okay so I'm gonna save this for I fuck
it all up so first let me show you how to set up a
glide in contact so here I have my stock 3808 patch in
contacts from 808 warfare this bunch 808 sin it's been around for a few years
pretty good I always wondered how you could get a glide in this though cuz
it's not easy to setup you have to do a bunch of tweaking under the hood first
thing you want to do is you click this little toolbar then you're going to
right click on the toon setting here
and then it's a glide option under others
to turn now all the way up
tones it's a good setting after that then you go to script editor
and then click on this empty one here
and then you go to preset
three good a performance and then go to unison slash portamento
so here's the settings you want you want to set it to legato and a priority
should be next note then you can put on portamento
from off to to auto or on then you can set the time to whatever you want
basically you have to put on all these options in order for it to work because
if you just do just the glide it'll reach rigor and then if you just do the
mono on the portamento it sounds kind of funny so you have to put all three
options and once you had that you should test it
out Fiat sounds
that's like the best 808 man I've ever heard
so the question is how to use in the song well what I do is I make two copies
of this since so I have the 808 with the bend of the name down Bend then I have a
regular copy of the 808 without the bend because uh I find when you set this up
in Ableton and contact you can't really just have one patch and switch back
forth between the glide and the non glide unless you can find a way to set
the the mod wheel to turn the glide on and off I don't know I don't trust it
what I'll do is I'll have one with the bend my 808 Ben and they'll have one
that's just a regular 808 I'm gonna see if I could reset this real quick I'm
just gonna delete it then make a new one you dirty a patch make sure it's same
okay yes let's stock is a stock 38 or a patch so what I would do when I'm making
a song is I would lay down the normal 808 first and then figure out where I
want to put my bends then I'll put those in after
and then after that once I have everything all laid out I'll start side
chaining and cutting the links of the notes to make sure they don't hit each
other because uh that's one way to make this sound like a mess so I'll show you
guys what I mean
recorded some stuff over it
some think I'm just gonna have those three notes like that every time the
loop comes from 3e notes ok once I got that I'm gonna
start working on my Benz right wrong I'm gonna do is put a compressor in the bend
a way I'm gonna turn on the side chain and then I change the input get
triggered by the regulator wait then I turn the settings way up
basically the point is to sidechain the other signal when it comes in because I
only want one 808 hitting at a time so I'm gonna have this other one completely
cut out cut it off
find a blend your probably want to set your been a doorway
to not have release on it
I don't know actually it's hard to say because you want you want release you
want release to let the glide go but then you also don't want too much
release because then you want to make sure your other 808 doesn't overlap with
it so much I do it with no release here and
I'm just gonna see if I can get that sound good
so I took her there I got some 808 Sam some need weapons
I just like these last tooth and here I was kind of messing around I found
something
got the bends and the eights if you want to clean it up further you could bounce
the audio and you could check when they overlap or if they overlap I'm gonna do
that right now show you guys what that would look like
so name that Bend I would only do this once you have your
your pattern I'll figure it out and you're just basically wait until you're
doing a mix down to do this part
we're gonna have some work to do here I could tell
so here you go I wanna do you're gonna
that part there and do the same thing here
I think that it's off a little bit here I think I'm gonna move it
here
hey yeah we crazy with those it's just a quick little showcase of what you can do
hopefully you guys enjoyed this tutorial looks like you guys learned something
