Chord & Structure of Future Bass
« on: February 10, 2016, 11:40:15 pm »
So as I'm attempting to make a Future Bass track, I was wondering if the Chords follow a certain structure, the kicks, high-hats as well are they in eight notes? 16th's? Are the chords in 7nth's? Are compound intervals chords to much? Is bpm in 155? I've seen some in 110 others in 130 bpm? Any advice would be appreciated.

The best advice: Go listen to a lot of future bass!

No, really. Go find 10 future bass songs that you absolutely adore, pull one into your DAW and start deconstructing it. Open up a soft synth and try to copy their exact chord progression. It might take some work to find the exact voicing but you should start to see the idea. Hell, see if you can pick out all the different elements of the song and mark them down with empty MIDI clips. Mark down the arrangement sections (Intro/Chorus/Breakdown/etc), set the BPM to be the same as the track, and see if you can "recreate" the song out of empty tracks and clips.

Now do that for the other 9 songs, and you'll know more about future bass than anyone on this forum could ever explain to you in a post.

Just to add to what mussar said : download some remakes of future bass songs on youtube. There's already flume remakes, wheathin remakes, odesza, porter robinson etc etc so you can really see whats going on and why does it work
