| Hey I was wondering what you guys use to get those awesome bass sounds. Should I use samples or what? I have FM7 and Junglist but the bass doesn't sound that great/clear. Should I add an effect to them? |

u need layering
THIS IS HOW I SEE BASSLINES (BUT WHO AM I?):
3 different sounds on top of each other at least, and NO REVERB/DELAY ON THE LOW FREQUENCIES, PLACE THE SUB OFF-BEAT, eq all the basssounds for shelving...
1. Sub bass
2. Mid bass (+very little fx?)
3. High bass (+fx)
To get a real good bassline u need at least 6 basssounds and some gate fx. |

| I don't think that you need that many layers to make a good bassline, but you can of course. I've heard excellent basslines that are only using two layers. I like the example you made there. :) |

| my kick never really gets more than 3 layers, but my basslines get into 3,4,5 sometimes even 6 layers depending on the rest of the track. |

Hey dickie,
Just wondering: What does it mean to EQ all the basslines for shelving?
EQ them so they dont conflict with eachother? |

| he means using shelving eq'ing as opposed to bell eq'ing |

ohhhh my bad.
Can someone tell me why you would use shelf EQ? I thought bell would isolate the specific frequencies you want better. Thanks. |

Shelving would remove all the top end frequencies you dont want on that particular sound |
