agreed...but compression, eq, and effects dont mean crap if you dont have a good signal to begin with. learn how to use a subractive style synth. there are literally millions out there. get one with at least two, preferably 3 oscilators. experiement with using two saw waves and detuning the second to create fatness. or using a single square wave to create a super duper bass. experiemnt with using saw and square waves together. try making a bass with one osc an octave higher than the lower. try making the lower octaved osc louder than the higher one. the higher one will cut through more so make the lower one a bit louder. then start to figure out how to use the filter, res, and envelopes. this is where you truly get a good bass sound going. learn how the envelope filter changes sounds with different filter settings. try all these things while your sequencer is playing a bassline with the synth your altering and loop the bassline. that way you can sit there and twiddle nobs will listening how they change the sound. thats the only way youll learn how to use a synth. once you can do those things youll have more freedom over the bass sound you want. using somebody elses bass sound takes away from part of the uniqueness of every track. if you listen to almost all dance tracks now, theyll all use the 909 kick or VERY similar. the basses howerver are almost all unique. once you can make good bass sounds with no effects then start using compression and effects. a pro sound does come from a knowledge of how to use those three elements, but without a good sound to start, they aren't much help.

same yes - but to get the presets these guys are talking about, buy the 'i want to be on dj mag pack' from spectrasonics.

Originally posted by s-cube Agree with maximlee. Anyway instead of cracking jokes someone could've pointed him in the right direction! I would recommend the saw presets as a starting point. I like Juno 60 & Juno 106 as well as SH101. Then you should play with the ADSR, filters and the envelopes to get the sound you want.

i disagree

you are just spoon feeding information that won't help him learn. I would never answer a stupid question like that when it is obvious absolutely no effort was put into the question. SO likewise , i won't put any effort in my answers unless you count being super funny as an effort.

yeah i total agree now....people when i was starting were explain things in term that to them sound sooo simply but to a learner....sound complex.... the best way to learn is by doing and yes....... his question was really bad ....so bad that i did think some one was jsut having a laugh

but yeah no effort no answer

lol
