Okay i know this isnt trance but its production and its relevant!
Ive been trying to make a bass like the 12" thumpers sample of which is here:
http://www.chemical-records.co.uk/ram/THD003.ram
I can nearly get it using reason by using 2 square waves then having the filter open and shut really quick.
I tend to compress it also to try and squeeze out some more punch but i cant quite get that hollow feel to it.
Any ideas? I would upload a sample of my attempts but ive got no web sapce. |

Sorry, I don't know how to program this sound but I thought I would ad something. Listening to this classic hard house style bass, it seems so many tracks out there are using it. Although I stopped buying german trance records a couple of months ago due to the increasing tiness of the genre lately, I noticed the same thing happening there with the old Scot Project style bassline. People were definitely sampling the bass cos there were these terribly crap songs being published with really nothing but that exact kick and bassline and a few wah wah acid stabs here and there. Sampling and looping these kick bass kick bass patterns seems so simple these days
So, after my bried scobble, perhaps you could try sampling it yourself. I know its not the same, and you loose control, but you can always run it back through the sampler's filters to modify it a bit more. Just remember to slow down the track you're sampling to a tiny bit (0.2 BPM) slower than what your track will be written at. That way it fills the gap between the kicks.
Again, I know it's not the same but its an option. |

I havent heard the sample yet, but to get that hard house/german kinda bass, take a long gabber kick, and reverse it, youll need sound forge to cut off some of the end (i think its called the attack?).....
but it works a treat!
I found it out from xe-cute over at samplecity.net:

I have solved it now incase your intrested.
Instead of using 2 square waves simply use 1!
Have it maybe an octave more than you normally would, but to compensate take a sine wave and have that so that you can barley hear it but it fills out the lower frequencys! |
