ok so when it comes down to basslines I've got a slight problem...when would you recamend changing notes at 16 beats or at 32?I'm not sure if this is easy to understand?

what do u mean "change note" ? when to change to, for example from C to D ?

some of the more catchy bass lines I have heard lately have changed earlier then stayed the same later like this over 32 beats:

8 'normal / base'
8 lower
8 slightly higher
8 'normal / base'

the pattern is subtley differant. maybe thats a example, im far too pissed to explain stuff :)

ya sorry for being so vague but i was sort of in a hurry when I posted...I meant like going from C to D to G like you said..how long should i wait till I change to another note?

Actually, it�s up to your self when u "should change note". there�s now rules when u make your music. :) there�s now rule that says that u should change note after, say, 8 bassnotes.

I would do whatever sound good with your melody and doesn't get too boring. It's brilliant advice I know, but I think bass note changes would have more to do with the chords being played by the melody.
