I found out by my expiriance that making a bassline with sub frequancies is terribaly WRONG!! have the kick start from 30hz and the bassline start from 100hz!! DO NOT START BOTH OF THEM FROM 30HZ!!
if you do, your mix would sound full of bass but wouldnt move anybody on the dancefloor... you need to give some space to the sub to punch, therfore only the kick has the sub frequancies!
Think about it..if it punches all the time --- it doesnt really punch!
you know these tracks where you start to "move" your head up & down?? they are made by this method of mixing!
got it?

You're not accounting for volume. Frequency is not everything. Many producers of the "ASOT School" divide their bass into a sub and mid bass, two entirely separate patches, which is effective in supplying a groove (while neither alone would do so). If one were to have sub bass and kick in the same frequency range, one would simply have to be sure that the kick is notably louder than the sub bass. It is also possible to carve out a hole within the sub bass' frequency range for the meatiest sub range of the kick. If you completely eliminate your sub bass / sub frequencies in your bass, you lose part of your groove.

man I know really a little about producing...but I'd never go pompously say thing like this...it's like hey I discovered you can use a bassdrum in a four on the floor rythm and wow you have a beat!
anyway I said "cool effort" that way I meant its nice that he shares his thoughts...but instead of creating an useless post he might want to check if it's not well-known thing already. And btw...there are many people who would smash him much harder than me...
ok, next time ill check it out there..
the only reason i posted this thred was because someone here asked me how do i mix my basslines, so i thought it would be helpful for others. guess not..
