For one, I think it would help if you make sure you just use one synth for the bassline (not sure if you said you're using 2 at a time)

You want to make sure if you are using more than one oscillator that they are "synced" there should be a sync button on the synth.

Try not to use flanging or phasing type fx on the bass. From what it sounds like, the oscillators do not reset on each note on. Use a synth that the oscillators reset on each note on & make sure that you sync the oscillators together, or that they at least done sound like they are phasing. Each note of the same note and length should sound pretty much the same.

To make a consistent bassline your oscillators should reset on each note on (when each midi note hits)

Try on albino. Use a saw wave on one oscillator and a triangle on the other. The triangle will give you the sub bass, the saw will give you that trance bass sound. You may have to bring the triangle down one octave from the saw.

Now make sure to use a 24db LP filter on it. The next important part is that you use your filter envelope well. Make sure the attack is all the way down, the sustain should be almost all the way down, release almost all the way down. The decay, filter freq, and envelope amount, these are what will give you the shape of the sound from here.

Try making it a short decay maybe less than 1/2 of the whole knob. Turn the envelope amount up about maybe 1/2 way, the they filter should be up about a quarter of the way. Just play with different settings of these. Try different octaves, see how it sounds one octave higher and one octave lower...

Then use eq to bring up the low end just a bit, and use compression to help give it a little more snap and keep it under control...

Hope that helps some
