Kinda of an odd question. But should a bassline be subwoofer only or half and half, or none? I noticed, when my kicks use the subwoofer, some people useing headphones or regular speakers, heard no kick at all, same with some of my basslines.

Should i try and even out the sub so it hits the subwoofer and the speakers? Or should i just say to heck with the cheapasses that don't have a subwoofer and continue useing it?

1) what kind of monitors are you using?

2) what are you talking about?

Not useing monitors. I have a speaker system, two speakers, and a big subwoofer. If the kick comes from the subwoofer, it seems, no one with monitors or speakers or headphones can hear it. But if i raise the freq so that it coems out of the speakers, there is utterly no bassy sound at all.

Basses should come have both frequencies (low and mid) to please both the decent sound systems and the 0.01 watt computer speaker users. Try doubling your bassline to another sound or pitch one osc to a higher or lower octave.

+1. also the kick should reside mostly in the mid and some in the lows depending on what sound you're going for. you should get some monitors, home speaker systems can only hurt you when producing.

In hip hop the bass is almost always exclusively for the subwoofer. In trance, the subbass is usually there to just reinforce the sound, because if there was no subbass at all it would sound superweak.

in trance basslines go in to very high frequencies. it's not uncommon to have them playing up to 12khz or more..

is making 604 trance btw. So i think the bass needs to be pretty sub. Almost un melodic.

Well, if your not using monitors its hard to say, lots of speaker systems these days use the sub for relatively high frequencies... On the other hand, if you had a pair of 8 inch monitors and the sub was handling all the bass, maybe that would indicate a problem.
As it is, if it sounds good your OK, but make sure you check the final mix on other speakers or headphones to make sure this bass of yours still reproduces.
