Bass is something I often struggle with in my mixes, so when AudioKit Pro sent over their new iOS app, King of Bass, I thought it would be the perfect time to work on this by using only this synth and the SP404MKII to make a beat.
For this track, I'll walk you through the King of Bass app, it's UI and mod routings as I make a bunch of samples on the SP using stock patches and designing some of my own. We'll record one shots, drones and even using the audio tails of samples to make ghostly pads.
