this one has probably been said, but it's my variation on the full-on psytrance bass.

k---k---k---k---
-xxX-xXx-xxX-xXx

in psytrance it goes like so...

k---k---k---k---
-xxX-xXY-xxX-xXx

or

k---k---k---k---
-xxX-xXx-xxX-xXY

(Y= X#)

probably been said but still cool.

+1.

I'm actually thinking of putting put all those basslines in to midi files.......

I like a lot of basslines but something with the texture in this one is just so organic. No idea how to get that feel.

As far as midi goes (nothing to do with vid) a common pattern I do is:


-X-X-XX--X-X-XX
X-X----XX-X----X


Keep the clap spaces empty and depending how you mix it it can roll rather nicely.

horrible track lol

well regular tribal pattern, but I like it, how it is pumping....

WOW just stumbled upon the mother load of threads. Basslines have always been a problem for me. Can never seem to layer synths well enough to find a good sound to call my own. Anyone on here still active? Would love to shed some light on the modern sounds of basslines in 2013 (and NO i am NOT talking about that electro trance garbage such as HeatBeat or Chris Schweizer)

Resampling cool sounds I make are giving me sweet basslines these days.

It's been 11 years. 11 FUCKING YEARS since I started this thread. I can't look at those iHeartRave ads without feeling like a dirty old creep.

The whole point of kick-BASS-kick-BASS was to keep the kick from getting blurred out, especially in the low end. Today it's all about the sidechain. You can make whatever bassline you want. A popular choice is just one ongoing droning note and the sidechain compression will chop it up nicely for you.

Trance as we knew it is still being made, probably for the same reasons that Salsa or Zouk or Swing/Big Band or any other dance music is still being made. The evolution is over, a tradition is set and fixed, it's music that "goes back to a time" now.

A lot has changed. The mainstream is nothing but EDM. Beats the hell out of Celine Dion ballads and other depressing shit. Still it's super weird to hear it in a TD bank or a dentists' office or a Chinese restaurant. Everything we made when we bought monitor spears, loaded the computer with software, filled the room with gear, put on stupid clothes, grew stupid beards and stupid hair and consulted this thread has been co-opted by and sold out to The Man...fully, irreversibly and to its demise just like hiphop and rock music itself.

And now the underground is....80's! Like pure, pure unadulterated 80's, no new twist, not punched up just straight up Malcolm McLaren/Pet Shop Boys/Jem and the Holograms. And I'm fine with that. I mean, I love Chvurches and Neon Indian but faack, invent another instrument. Somebody. One new instrument. A Bruckmeister Digitrope. A Melodisaucer E39 with Benmergui pickups, whatever, just something!
