My notes from this Short
Sustain the sub instead of copying the lead
I see a lot of people just copy and paste the melody from their lead into the sub, and it doesn't sound quite right. Add a big sustained bass under the lead instead. Play the lead melody over it and it sounds much more full and a lot more cohesive.
The Serum preset I'm using has a basic pitch bend. If your preset doesn't have it, I recommend doing it with automation.
Heavy distortion on the sub
I like to use subs with really heavy distortion, as they kind of match that jump up sound. The sub is a really important part of getting this genre right.
