the sample is very nice..

but i can't recreate such a drive with the bassdrum and bassline.. i think it's the delay and the kind of synth..

which synth did you use?

a private sample.. but you can create one with subtractor, or any bassline you want with low Freq.. something like 30..

Shahar, cool sample!!!

Whit what U made it?

Reason
thanks;]

Don't forget that COMPRESSION will definitely help you to get a clearer defined, punchier bass sound. If you don't use compression your track will most likely sound horrible and muddy when played in a good system. Compression on bass and kicks is VERY VERY important.

I'm a bit of a compression n00b so bear with me here--is it better to compress the kick and bass separately, or as one?

Oh, now its better. If it's the map: K = kick _ = space b = bass So, it's K__bbK__bbK__bbK__bb

Actually I think there is 2 basses in that line too.

On top there is a 303 like bass going K_bbK_bbK_bb
but there is also a sub bass underneath hitting the 1/4th at K_b_K_b

This technique would be used to equal the Kick with the sub bass while still get the driving tempo of the 303 structure. The 303 is just a layer that shouldn't have too much bassfreq (although some), so that it doesn't mess up the whole tune, thus the subbass to equal out the Kick drum... ok, so everyone knew this :P

seperately. Here is a tutorial for kickdrum that is quite explainative:

On the end of this toturial there is a section on compressing the kick.

Other than that it is all about experimenting and listen after what sounds good...

ok so i was playing around
