Just listened to the clean sample of that tune.

It is just a very bass heavy subby kick with a long tail.

The bassline is a saw with a sine layered underneath pitched down 1 or 2 octaves. There is some slight verb on the saw part of the bass.

The Saw sounds highpassed too, but that could also just be EQ.

Listen to this tune, it will help you understand how the kick make most of the bottom end in current dance music. (Yes I know the tune itself is shit.)

i am becoming a fan of that "kick basslines" SvD and Marco V use them a lot, the only problem i see with them is that they clash a lot with tracks that doesn't have that kind of bassline and mixing them is a pain in the ass

Yeah, it's cool, it'll be boring as shit in while though. It basically like the hip hop 808 boom kick, but with a tighter, more punchy attack, then a really thin mid bass to add the harmonics.

You really gotta work to get your kick sample right though and if you chose the wrong snare you'll fuck the grove, although I guess that could be said for any drum pattern.

That set is incredibly crappy isn't it?¿ Techno (and don't kill me plz) isn't more than kick snare hats and a bass (and yet please understand what i mean) but works incredibly well on big sound systems, visuals make the difference a lot of times. Watching a film without audio---> Shit Watching a film without image---> Shit With music really works in a similar way besides it shouldn't

Sounds like what George Lucas said about a movie being 50% audio and 50% visual.

George Lucas is a moron and doesn't even understand his own movies.

Originally posted by Lunar Phase 7 Not that I've ever been, but the smoke machine on videos in Amnesia sounds ridiculous. Totally drowns out all music. Actually kills a lot of atmosphere and tension having a white noise blast go off at random intervals.

It's an ice cannon. Fires out a really fine, really cold mist which fills the dancefloor to the point where you can't see your hand in front of your face in about 2 seconds.

They do tend to add to the atmosphere, definitely the first few times they go off in a night because those who know about them anticipate it and those who don't are amazed because they've never experienced it before.
