Why does every one have to make monotone basslines? Octaves aren't the only intervals, you know.

^ This is from a track that I've been working on lately. Letters correspond to note names.

I also like the bass line from BT-Remember.

Cause it's easier to select all your notes and move them ie. from A to G without some notes going to wrong places.

Here's a short 7 min clip of the bassline I mentioned above.

I haven't done one in a while, so here it goes...another crappy bassline. You can notice the simple single note bassline in the background.

Ah, but then would it not be easier to just eschew creativity altogether and throw down an off-beat bassline, thus voiding this thread as a whole?

Hey I'm not disagreeing with you at all. I only answered to your question.

Good question!

I *heart* acid basslines, personally. Say what you will about the 303, I still have not found any other synth that comes even close to that level of versatility. Anybody heard the acid line from Poxymusic - Our Break?

^ I love that tune...its so fun listening to the speakers accent when he guides you through the steps to breakbeat.

Was bored, so i threw this little midi together with 14 different types of basslines. All are 4 beats long.

Made is Cubase and exported as a Midi.

Just import the midi into you sequencer and away you go.

All in the Key of C ... so chance acording to your preferance.

Hope this gives a insight to some people, showing that there is basses other than the regular offbeat bass which everyone hammers. Try use your imagination and experiment with these.


Enjoy.

this is verry good tutorial!
Thank you everyone! I will try to learn how to make own bass structure.
This is verry good help

303 makes a good sounding mono trance synth as well if u play it on a high octave !it almost sounds like a subtractor

Judging from the length of this thread I can come to a conclusion that a solid bassline is very difficult to achieve,
But I knew that already, a bassline seems so mysteries sometimes it�s the heart of the track yet seems so simple if whiles
Listening to a track its weird.

Most of the time if one finds a "LOCK TIGHT" bassline everthing fits together.I used to make huge riffs but never, could i find a suitable bassline, nowadays i make cheap riffs with soild basslines layered it sounds SUPER and very neat indeed.

its a trap and i realise now that ive fallen into it... i think its better to have a unique and really intresting bassline even if that means more work. or you could go with the jezper - requiem style bass. if i remember corectly, the bassline is pretty basic but he makes it melodic for lets say one bar before adding the hats a melody etc. or hes just doing it at the end of every 16 bars, im not sure. i noticed that this creates the false feeling that the bassline is really melodic even when its just plain rythme.

i tried this out not too long ago. i put the bassline right before the kick would hit. where people put their snares nowadays (example-mr. fred baker)

sounded different but has its uniqueness. i dig it.

Larry Mountains 54 has a great bassline really romping one.

This a really tight thread. Mad props to everyone.

nice kicks

mr palm those beats are freshhhhhhhhhhhhh very cool bumpin tune.


ive been trying to nail the classic uplifting bassline kind of sound, i think i got it pretty close.

check it out

used this patter

KunuKunuKunuKunu

K=kick
u=up an octave
n=tonic

lower the volume of the octaved note to about 3/5 of the main oompa-itis bass note and then i slapped a delay on everything above 170hz

dj palm,

Ever try overdriving that subnote in numba1_ver2 a bit so the highs are brought out a little?

fantastic thread!
just found it.
i love this

great antique thread!

The bassline in "Autobahnana"


every time i hear it i wanna drive really fast

This is a pretty cool thread.

Basslines are like being stuck in a Chemistry lab... sonically, that is.

Just don't blow yourselves up, or get arrested for noise violations (fortunately, I don't have a decent sub-woofer).

I've been having problems even creating/finding a decent *quality* sounding bass line for reason, does anyone have any good settings or at least a site which has some nice starters?
