Creating a Hip Hop Groove | Electric Bass VST Instrument for HALion

Electric Bass is one of the great VST instruments for HALion, which brings a superb array of bass sounds to your music production. This video shows you how to create a funky hip hop bass line, building it around a simple groove beat in Groove Agent 5, jamming the bass guitar in the Electric Bass VST virtual instrument, working with a sidechain kick drum and EQ to cut through the mix. The Electric Bass software has a fully-customisable range of options and presets for getting the best sound, the many features meaning you don’t need to use any other plug-in. Featuring an array of re-orderable channel strip effects, you can vary the sound from dry DI to full wet pedal. It’s great for an inspiring jam session, with slides and articulations that can be added at the time or after jamming by cycling through your arrangement in Cubase. We hope you find this video entertaining and useful. If you like what you see, please leave a comment and tell us what you think. Thank you.
