Recreating Bassline - stuttery / delayed harder

Hi everyone.
Im looking to pick some peoples brains here for a specific bassline sound / programming.
If you've heard of these tunes / producers it will give you an idea of what im searching for:
agnelli & nelson - holding onto nothing - MAIN ONE
cosmicman / matti laamanen
green court remix of ligaya
pulsar remix of matt darey beautiful
flutlicht - the fall rather than ahmea
For those that dont know its a kind of rolling, dark, stuttery + energetic bassline.
It sounds like the volume is moving, so env on the filter??? or clever delay tricks?
Ive come sort of close by running a low vaz bass off beat, then adding a triplet delayed higher saw bass playing over the top. But ive never managed the 'wall of sound' fat wobbly saw'ness that im after.
ive tried to use the most descriptive words i can to get across what im after. But i think it might be a lost cause.
Thanks for any help!!! |

Um Dont Really Know What Your After But When I do rolling bass lines thers a few you can do
ok this first time ive done a picture like this
k is for kick
b is for bass
_ is a break
ok heres number 1
k_bbk_bbk_bbk_bb Thats Yakooza Bass.
Number 2 The First Bass note is 1/4 the length of the second bass note
k_bBk_bBk_bBk_bass this is just a standerd sorta hard bass line.
Experiment With this to get what you want.
hope that helps you i dont know if u allready know all that but i just hate to see someone's post go unreplyed. |

Ok... After listening closely to each one of the samples, I can see that the basslines are actually composed of 2 bass synths or more for each one of them.... Usually, you have the deep bass play only a couple notes in a bar while the higher bass plays the "filler" that drives the bass... Best way to hear this is from the 2nd last sample... At first, both bases are played, then the deeper bass is cut out and you can clearly hear how the treble is done...
As for the bass sounds, most of them seem to be from square waveforms and they don't seem to have a filter envelope (i may be wrong but just what i think it sounds like)
hope that helps |

^^^ this is probably not what you want to achieve but I layered 2 samples for the bass, used a bit of delay and did some careful arrangement to the bass notes. It doesn't sound too good b/c it was recorded straight out of Reason with no compression or processing to the bass.
Like some of them already said, it's a matter of cutting up the notes and layering a few bass samples. Don't forget that COMPRESSION will definitely help you to get a clearer defined, punchier bass sound. If you don't use compression your track will most likely sound horrible and muddy when played in a good system. Compression on bass and kicks is VERY VERY important. |

Here's something very similar to the bass in Agnelli & Nelson - Nothing.
As other people have mentioned, there are two different layers of bass going on here.

This is the filtered out delay bass. It starts at around 4000hz and moves down to around 750hz. The pattern is a simple FFFxFFFxFFFxFFFx, where F is the note and x is a stop, with a 2 tick delay on the right channel and a 3 tick delay on the left channel.

Next we have the sub-bass, this is incredibly simple. They filter it in as well, but I was too lazy to do that.

Together, with a kick, this is how it sounds.
Hope that helps. |

I did something... Maybe its close to the bassline you put here... but it's not 100% the same because its not easy to understand the structure of the bassline from the sample you gave.... if you can find another part from the track with the bassline only, it will be easier...
Anyway,
this is my sample
included 3 basslines, one of them is the main one... |
