Spent the last few days fixing up this bassline and I'm wanting to know if it generally sounds good.

The main thing I've worked on here is to make sure that I avoid any muddiness. So, have I done a good job of it??



Please give some feedback, and if you like what you hear, give my Facebook page that I started yesterday a "like."

Listening on little pc speakers this sounds real nice to me. The kicks you choose I still don't like but that's personal preference. I think I read you saying you were looking into other sample packs. Those Vengeance ones for me are too plastic bucket being hit sounding.

Looks like your on your way to becomming a decent producer, afterall your'e pretty determined it seems.

Sounds good man!

yea getting there with the bassline. Im the same as Richard Butler with the kick, try another sample

I think the bassline sounded nice but it seems the mids were cut out too much. If you increase it a little bit, it would bring back the fullness of the bass. It would also compliment the kick a lot more.

Thanks to all the replies here so far guys, I'll definitely try out some of these ideas.

Cheers

Not bad at all, you getting there lol - now looks like you took care of around 2% of your track so 98% left and I would like to see where you going with this track after at least 10% - all the best man.

Cheers for this. atm im struggling to get any good ideas on where to go from here. i cant find a way to incorporate my main melody into it, but I'll keep trying, and hopefully i'll get there soon.

Cheers

Yeah bassline is fine. Kick is still a little boomy though. Did you ever check out figuring out how to mess with the envelope of your kick sample? You can shorten the kick by shortening the sustain, but play around with it... may not be just the kick drum sample. But it just boils down to a matter of taste, seems fine. However, if you listen to things like FSOE and Daniel Kandi the kick is more powerful and short.

I know it's just supposed to demonstrate the bassline, but it does get quite repetitive. Automating filters and delay can have awesome effects for this kind of bassline though.
