How to create trance BASSLINE like in the sample! - help+flp file needed

Hi there, I would like to have a similar bassline with those effects (like in the sample). Can someone help me and make sth like this and post a flp file on site?!

Here is a sample:

Thanks a lot!

That's just your typical trance bassline. Good amount of delay, add some reverb, eq it with some top end for clarity and get rid of some of the low end so it just floats in the mix. Add some distortion if you want a unique sound or something and there you go. There was a thread awhile ago on trance basslines I believe.

Yes.. there is a thread on trance basslines every couple days.

I'm trying to get running basslines like this too.. how do you put delay on your bass without muddying it up? Depends on the way you play the bass I guess? or..

You have to add just the right amount and get rid of most of the delay in the low mids (300-900hz) and use a spectrum analyzer to see where the frequencies are making the mix muddy.

two ways to remove the bottom end on bassline delays...most delay units(hardware) have highpass filters that you can set to be used just in the delays not the original signal. The PSP Lexicon84 does this...the best software delay EVER..not to cheap though. Anyway the cheaper way and basically the same is to eq all the bass adn some mids(explained in above post) out of your bassline and pass that through some delays. then add that on top of your dry bassline.

You should also keep the two signals in there own frequency spectrum. whatever you shave off(eq wise) in your delayed version of the bassline keep your dry bassline the opposite. So if you cut from 30-300hrz from the delayed version keep the dry signal from 60-300. This type of bassline should be eqed more to teh mid range but I'm not gonna go off on that, I that was already explained. This bassline is very simple. Sounds harder than it really is. Getting the sound you want is the hardest part.

have fun.

Maybe you could make this bassline and put it on site as a .FLP file ? Please.

I dont use Fruity...I use cubase SX 3. Honestly it is so easy man..like I said its just getting the sound right that is the biggest problem.

Posted by rqpeyruxvg on Apr-17-2006 13:47:

ok a quick shot at it...

Mp3 Demo

Zip File (contains flp, cubase preset and z3ta+ preset)

...as i say its a quick shot

Posted by rqpeyruxvg on Apr-17-2006 16:29:

any good?

Posted by mysticalninja on Apr-18-2006 08:54:

The delay seems to just muddy this bassline up .. Lows need to be taken out of the delay. This is the running kind of bassline ive been going for though so looking at the pattern was usefull.

Posted by rqpeyruxvg on Apr-18-2006 18:20:

well its for you to tweak, im jus throwing an idea together. have fun

Posted by AuxiliaryInput on Apr-18-2006 21:28:

Errr... Could someone re upload the mp3 file? Cause I don't get this. Use [[ LINK REMOVED ]]
it always works, no exceeded bandwidth bullshit,fast speeds. The only bad thing about it is that you have to click 1 time and wait for about 20 seconds and then you have to write 3 random letters and click once more to download.

All of you are using SHITTY hosts because I get a File Not Found error on every hotlink in this thread and consequently cant hear a single phecking thing any of you are on about.

I dont hear any delay on the bass. It sounds like 3, possibly 4 different bass instruments - none of them especially low in the mix (but then I typically listen to breaks these days and they all have sub basses but meh).

The main one is flat out 16ths and is easy to pick out. I'll have a go at cloning when I get back from work...

Posted by Lindo on May-22-2006 14:14:

I'll do the same when I get home. I'm currently working on a track that has a somewhat "typical" trance bassline with a little more distorting sound to it. I'll just post a clip to it later and upload a quick flp.
