This is a very helpful thread! I'm excited to try out many of these different bass-line patterns

Thank you for the suggestions.

Nice basslines. Thank u all! And something should be mentioned, with a heavy sidechain compression you can make many NEW and creative basses!

There are 2 basses, 1 sidechained and one not. Great style together.

i included demo mp3s with each of my pattern & bass over a drumloop from the original so you can hear what it sounds like.
enjoy

Maybe it's just me but I find making a bass line the easiest thing in the world. Then again, I actually play bass. (The instrument) Maybe that could help you guys? Learn to play a bass?

meh, just a suggestion. It certainly won't hurt.

This is true...

And you're obviously reading the forum, browsing threads and all. Welcome.

Yay thread necro. I love good basslines!

I also found that 2x basses can be quite alot of fun weaving in and out between 2 syncopations. I picked a flat boring bass, and then one with some character. (I jest, it's supposedly a Benny Benassi analogue bass, which probably needs to be properly EQ'd to sound sexy)

No mixing or eq'ing done, so soz

something i quickly threw together after seeing this thread (I tried to limit my creativity time to 5 mins)

Almost sounds like the bassline in one of the blade tracks, but not quite. Also, I love when basses hit randomly higher notes in an arpeggio, or slide around. I've also been turned on to the note stutter at the end of my first baseline in the example. I have a baseline in a WIP of mine that puts this stutter to really good use too ^^.

Ah yes, the famous Benassi Nexus bass. I know that sound from anywhere, the 303 also sounds like a Nexus preset.

I'm not sure what you were trying to do so I can't really judge it. But I like much more complex sounding basslines.

yes, and yes. Although I did figure out how to strip out their preset arpeggios and use the sound the way I want.

Me neither.

Geef examples nao plx.

-And yeah sorry i'm blazed at this point, it's been a terribly boring and snowy thursday evening on spring break. Apparantly the snow has caked onto my sattelite dish and is blocking the signal... so i'm trying to keep occupied. Also, snow angels while your blazed are not fun, they are cold.
