Hi Leng,

Listening now...when you say you want to change the bassline, what do you mean? Do you want to change the sound of the bass or the bass pattern? I think perhaps you should layer the bass, and have different patterns at different frequencies.

Some common patterns are:

X---X---X---X--- Kick
--X--X----X--X-- Bass

x---x---x---x--- Kick
xx-x-x-xxx-x-x-x Bassline

thanks nankervis.. what i meant was the bass synth itself... but anyway, the bass pattern need to go anyway... i'll certainly try out your suggestion...

btw, it's really hard to get a reply nowadays *hehe*

^ Well there are many threads about this. People just get tired of posting the same damn thing

Use the search function, theres atleast 2 really good bass threads

Whong place realy for track reviews try the music producers promotion section.

Not too bad this track. Lacking in character though, sounds like you used vanguard for each sound you have in there. I'd leave the bass as it is but add some effects. Theirs too many possibilities to name, but an autowah could add some dynamics to it, and a Double Delay on 1/4d(left) and 1/8d(right) could add some space to it. I'd say, justgo crazy and add experiment a little with whacky effect constructions.

kind regards,

CD

Review Latest Track; Charlie Delta - Then The Days Where Long

Music is as universal to people as breathing. We've probably been at it since before we even started talking. Immaging two cavemen smashing away at a peace of flint to make a spearhead. It wouldn't take long for them to learn te synchronise the sound. And there you have it, the words first percussive band.

Music has survived wars, famines, the plague and many other things and has evolved with man across many cultures. Dance music is just the next step in the evolutionary chain. My guess is that it will probably be with us untill we are extinced.

A good bassline idea I had. X is a high octave note, x is low octave.

X---X---X---X--- Kick
xxXxxXxxXxxXxxxx Bass

The most important part of this is the rolling. I think with the dark feel you've got going here, you want a nice rolling bassline to keep it going.
