How to make basslines for disco, techno, house, and more (free MIDI and presets included)

Having strong basslines can help tie together your tracks and give them the punch or depth they need.

In some genres, bass plays more of a supportive role, while in others it’s the star of the mix. In this video tutorial, we show you how to design bass instruments and structure MIDI patterns for a wide array of genres. We’re using FL Studio, but most of the concepts are applicable in all DAWs.

Be sure to download the 40+ MIDI files and Serum presets here.
