Most secondary basslines have a delay of some sort on them anyways so its almost impossible to distinguish the rhythm. They're not hard to make at all really, if you put the correct amount of delay the rhythm will seem more complex than it is.

at the momment I use this bassline:

l=lowbass
m=mid-bass
h=highbass (with lots of delay)
k---k---k---k---
--hh--hh--hh--hh
-mmm-mmm-mmm-mmm
--l---l---l---l-

wats the bassline settings for Fred Baker - confirmation? and does it have a number of these basslines put over each other as it builds up (with different patches?) or is it a bit more complex than that?

thanks

and i love this thread!

Actually, that bassline isn't that complicated.

Just use alot of ping-pong - delay on it.

I tryed to make something like the C-sharp bassline(s).

Well, I haven't heard any new basslines posted by you guys, so I decided to dust off Cubase SX and make one to update this thread...see if you guys get motivated and keep this thread alive and kicking. Mine is cheap sounding but I barely have time to produce...damn Army!

Wow, it's wierd to see this kind of definitive discussion on basslines.

Just do anything. Hell, sometimes I just set up some crazy delays, record some random thing for a few steps and let the pattern progress through the echo. I've even recorded percussion and modulated a bass note with it. Ain't no thang.

Be as creative as you want. Make a bassline out of slowed down vocals, an EQ and a frequency exciter.

Well, to some people, simple stuff is harder in some cases. That's how life goes. Why don't you post a bassline? The more the better...it's all about helping the guys out. We were all in the stage of not knowing how to do things the way we wanted to.

lol, post a delay? Ok, try this:

XxXxxXxx with a delay of xxX and xxxX. And mess with the delays, EQing them and adding chorus and phase and whatever. Another really fun one is leaving the delays, and adding effects to the bassline after the delay signal, leaving the delay punchy.

Better yet, listen to the song Insomnia by Faithless. They do it to perfection.


[edit]

All I'm saying is, it ain't that hard to think outside the box if you're doing something creative. Just forget what you think other people want to hear, or what you're supposed to do.

You're saying that like I'm the one that needs help, buddy. I'm contributing with samples so the guys that need help can get ideas. I said why don't you post a "sample" of your music showing a bassline so you contribute to the thread...didn't mean write how you do it. So, are you going to post an audio sample...you know...one of your beats with a nice impressive bassline you described? Let's hear it.
