Welcome to Part 2 of our two-part deep dive into trap-style 808 basses. In part one we looked at the origins of the style and some basic ways you can quickly create 808 bass sounds and 808 bass lines in your music.

In part 2 we’re going deeper into sculpting the sound, including a look at Thor’s advanced sound design capabilities. If you’ve used Thor but find yourself sticking to presets because you don’t understand it, this tutorial should leave you feeling much better about experimenting yourself with signal routing and modulation inside Thor.
