Forget the pluck bass. V2 uses a reese-stab hybrid.
The 789ten Secret: Duplicate this bass channel. On the duplicate, remove the filter, add MicroShift (or Soundtoys MicroShift) at 15% wet, and lower volume by 12dB. This creates a stereo "aura" around the mono bass.
Sidechain: Use LFOTool instead of a compressor. Draw a curve that ducks 18dB in the first 40ms, then recovers to 0dB by 200ms. DubVision often uses a "mid-side sidechain" – duck the mids harder than the sides.
V1 had 7 saw layers. V2 has 3, but processed brutally.
Layer A (The Core):
Layer B (The Air):
Layer C (The Grit – Zipl Element):
The DubVision Chord Voicing:
Play triads in 2nd inversion (e.g., C/G). Add a 9th and 13th. Then pitch the entire chord rack up +12 semitones for the second drop's B-section. This creates a "lift" without risers.
Before we get into the technicals, let's define the tools. 789ten is a premium sample label known for high-fidelity sounds, often curated in collaboration with A-list artists. Their collaboration with the Dutch duo DubVision (Victor and Stephan Leicher) is legendary in the space.
"DubVision Progressive House Techniques v2" is the second iteration of this masterclass/sample pack. It is not just a collection of one-shots; it is a deconstructed project toolkit.
If you have been trying to crack the code of modern, arena-filling Progressive House—the kind that moves mainstage crowds at Tomorrowland and EDC—you have likely stumbled upon two key names: DubVision and 789ten. Forget the pluck bass
The latest buzz in production circles revolves around the "789ten DubVision Progressive House Techniques v2 Tutorial Zipl Better" . But what exactly is this resource, and more importantly, how do you use it to stop making "bedroom loops" and start making releases?
In this article, we will dissect the V2 tutorial pack, analyze the specific sound design secrets of DubVision, and unpack the mysterious "Zipl Better" technique that allows you to achieve cleaner, more impactful mixdowns.
Title:
Modern Progressive House Production: An Analytical Framework Based on DubVision-Style Techniques
Abstract
Brief summary of key techniques: sidechain compression, super saw layering, white noise risers, drop structure, and bassline processing.

2. Sound Design
3. Rhythm & Arrangement
4. Mixing & Effects
5. Conclusion
One of the biggest takeaways from the V2 tutorial is the use of micro-edits. DubVision drops the master volume by -6dB for exactly 1/32nd of a beat before the drop. This creates a suction effect that makes the subsequent beat feel 200% louder. The 789ten Secret: Duplicate this bass channel
Load a "Zipl Loop" into your DAW (Ableton/Logic/FL Studio). Warp it to 128 BPM. Instead of using the loop as audio, use Ableton's Slice to MIDI or Logic's Convert to Sampler Track.
The "better" aspect of this specific zip/file often refers to the production value of the course itself.
