think i sorted it.

got basslane vst as recommended from the free vst thread

seems like the problem was that the bassline sub frequencies were too wide and therefore lost their force but when i squashed the whole bassline channel, the dynamics of the mids were lost. basslane sounds to have solved that problem by only monoing the deep freqs while leaving the mids alone.

good stuff.

compress + eq

camelphat is practically made for fat basses

hm still not getting the sound i'm looking for actually.
i think Mr. Ross has the right idea. i tried layering 2 basses, one centered, and one split full right and full left with various fx to give it more space, but it still sounds really flat.
here's an example of what i'm trying to achieve:
http://www.sendspace.com/file/t4win2

im trying like mad to get that fat wide resonance in the low end but i'm missing something.
in the sample, i can hear the two basses, there's the mid-range one (sounds a bit widened?), and then the really deep and wide one that generally follows the same melody.
can't figure how to get that key resonance and separation in the low end.

here's my effort:
http://www.sendspace.com/file/utbxr8

in this i have 2 basses, the lower of which is split full left and right, but still sounds flat and centered without that forceful resonance that's in the other clip.

any help?

It's starting to sound like this may be an issue of your source sounds. I could take a look at a patch for you if your using reason or v station, vanguard etc.

Also, it could be your asdr. I know with v-station if you move the release slider up just a little so you cant even notice the release is any longer it some how makes the bass deeper. Idk if its just some weird glitch with fl studio because i have no rational explanation.

Hopefully, some other members will provide you with some solution as i am not the most experienced.

I'm always layering 2 or 3 basslines (low/mid-high/high) and always keep them in the middle of the mix. What could do the trick is put some noise on the mid bassline, it give's a nice high-end sizzle ..

What also works is giving the subbass some extra punch around the 60-80hz, be carefull with your kick though!

edit: as pwnage1 said, it could also be your source sounds that are wrong.
You can also use some FM modulation to get a fatter sound on the bass

thanks for the tips guys!
i figured it out last night

part of the problem IS my source sounds, but i figured out how to get the wide dynamics i was looking for.

i just routed the bass i wanted to a new fx channel, inverted one of the stereo channels, and applied a bit of delay (fruity stereo enhancer works great for this). i also tweaked stereo separation a bit so it didnt fly all over the field.

worked nicely!

now i just have to work on eqing and getting the rights source sounds.
that big stereo effect gets annoying if the sounds arent right.
