Wow thanks for helping me out tremendously.

Check this one out it kicks ass
1---2---3---4---1---2---3---4
X---X---X---X---X---X---X---X---
Zx xx Zx x xx xZ x xx xZ x xx x


Z is one octave lower then x. Just made this one up.

Someone said it wouldn't be good to "ping-pong" low frequencies, because the needle may skip.
For my last track I used a "ping-pong-bassline". No delay or reverb, just letting the bass jump from left to right. Some of you will perhaps say this bass gets annoying by time. Well, I listened to it on quite a lot of stereos now and it still is OK to my ears. Only on headphones it gets my brain "nervous". Just try!

>>SAMPLE<<

BTW: This one was made with FL Studio.

If this is only because of possible skips of the turntable needle, there wil be another "vinyl version" with centered bassline (if ever necessary ). But exclusivly concerning audio issues, there is no problem. Or yes? I cannot figure out any, at least.

It depends on the level of the delay. It's possible to use stereodelay with ping pong effect, that leaves the dry signal there too. It seems like you have left the dry signal out completely, allowing only the ping pong delay to be heard. Not good. I don't have a clue about how it effects vinyls though!

Well, if you don't know how it effects vinyls and just say you don't like it, there's no point in my eyes against the usage of such a bassline.

The best application of something simmilar to this was (drumroll) a 15 minute disco version of Minnie Ripperton's "Loving You."

The basslines did not directly oppose each other, but the effect was amazing. One side seemed to be double-time compared to the other, but the effect was the same. Dig out that old record if you can (the needle doesn't fly off either).
