Basslines, Synth Parts and Pro Tools Virtual Instruments

Create high-quality music that stands out from the crowd—watch ‘Master the Art of Music Creation’, our video tutorial series dedicated to the success of artists, producers, and engineers.

In this second episode, it’s time to start adding some of the musical elements to really get things moving. In this episode’s example, Greg will illustrate simple, but effective workflows to get basslines and synth parts going, using two of his favorite virtual instruments, which happen to be built into Pro Tools; Vacuum and Xpand!2. Of course, feel free to use whatever your favorite virtual instruments happen to be. With so many great instruments available as a 64-bit AAX plug-in, there’s no shortage of sounds.
