Bass line idea, What you think??
Ho guys! its been some time since I don�t post. I have been out for work, and been practicing more on the technical aspects. I also gave some rest to my ears, they were saturated, ha.
Well here I am postin an idea I been working with, and I would like to know what you think of it, if you like it, and if it is worth to continue.
Thanks for listen!
cheers

I think its a great idea id keep working on it.
I would def check the levels, maybe get that kick way more punch.
And side chain the basses, even if it's only a little. It will help fix the mix and give it that groove that it needs.
Good though! keep it up.
Thanks for the advice,, I already had the bass side chained, in this version I tighten it, sounds better for me.

any other opinion?
Sounds better! Keep it up.
sorry bro, gonna have to disagree, i dont think it sounds very good.
maybe if hear more stuff on top... but right now theres no groove, i dunno, i'd have to hear it in context.
Wow second version sound so much better.

second one, let me explain, im talking more about the bass pattern and not the engineering, i think you did a decent job engineering it, but like i said, i'd have to hear it working in the track to make final judgement.
Thanks MSZ! Looking forward to your coments in the final version.
Don't mix so freaking loud and you might be able to hear things a bit better. 
How on earth are you going to add anything else? Also your kick still doesn't sound 'right' in terms of frequency content. It just doesn't pack enough punch (bass). But turn your volume down and go from there.
There's no groove on this bass, the idea is good but i think you need a deep bass and you can have this as a pluck line or something on top, could work in a psytrance track however.
I'm very fussy and I can tell you I love this bass and the grove - it sounds fresh. If that dropped in a club I think the place would rock as soon as that bass starts - and I love the loudness just as all the kids will - long as you can fit other elements in - bring them in gradually.
I can imagine a real quirky vocal - sort of sung and spoken like this >
"woah, you cheeky muda fukker....... wut you doin with a sucka"
May sound cheesey but.........

To be honest i dont find it particularly good, it plays the same notes on the same pattern all the way, try switching some notes and pattern around to give it more vibe.

| Originally posted by Beatflux I am inclined to agree. There is definitely a groove there, I don't know what you people are on. |
I might be hallucinating but I could swear that kick has reverb on it. Never add reverb to a kick that's part of the main groove. If it doesn't have reverb then it's way too boomy, it'll make the rest of the track muddy as hell once you start adding leads and other melodic elements.
That's probably also why the sidechain isn't working as well as you want - the kick never lets up long enough for the compressor to release.
People thanks for the comments, really very useful!!,,
Well it seems that some of you like it, others not that much...
I know it sounds too basic so far, Mr.Mystery. The track needs other layers to develop.
Some vocal could turn it into an interesting track, but unfortunately I am not still comfortable to work with them.
There is not reverb on the kick, I ll check it, maybe a new one could work better...
Here I upload version 3, added more subs, I tried a different kick, and a bit of EQ...
Thanks for the comments guys!..

the kick sample is not good imo. i think you boosted some frequencies too much.
add more lows to bassline not to kick.

the bass is pretty much taking the entire mix space. You can't hear the kick. You need to seriously eq and find space for things.
I heard a great Ferry Corsten compilation where the opening track had a bass like this that took up loads of room but it worked. He added a nice gritty synth that gradually opened so it didn't matter that the bass took so much room up.
It will need some surgical eqing and I agree the kcik is a bit lumpy and middy - work those eq's until it comes good.
While there is a groove of sorts, it sounds too rigid to really drive the track. Also need to hear it with better percussion arrangements to really tell how the loop will groove as a whole.
I don't like the synth sound for the bass at all but thats just me.
Maybe look at adding a touch of release to the amp envelope of the bass. It might just help on some of those notes to flow a bit better and sound a little less rigid. Of course the bass needs to be toned down first before you even think about increasing the release time.
Interesting idea I like it.
Though I don't like the choice of synth, but thas more a taste issue.
Dont know what everyone here is thinking/smoking, this bassline has no groove, and just like what the other guys said, it sounds like 8-bitish..
