Your Favorite Basslines / The Fight Against Oompa-itis (pg. 2)

Dudes...it's endless. Especially when now the veriety starts to run dry so they start using different notes more frequently.
One bassline I definitely dig is Walhalla:

|X|| || || ||X|| || || ||X|| || || ||X|| || || |
|z||x||z||z||x||z||z||z||x||z||x||z||z||z||x||z|

But actually I don't like listing this... kinda ruins the "Magic of knowing it inside" for me... Can't explain...

you can use a omptis bass, but instead of playing normal, u take the shift or shuffle thing ands set it to 0:24 ms delay...

YEAH!
Joi Lamusic
Ummh... DJ Alfi, how to dot that shift/shuffle thing in Fruity? I didn't wind any suffle or sift knobs :rolleyes:
Joi Lamusic
This has been a really great help with creating different bass-lines :) Thanks for everyone!!!

That's weird dude... :\


Anyways, there also the trio of "Bumping" basslines:
}Y= One octave higher than X{

1. Aria - Dido (AvB's Universal Religion remix)

|X|| ||X||Y|| ||Y|| ||Y|

2. Airscape - L'esperanza (Armin's RS mix)

|X||Y||X||Y||X|| ||X||Y|
(Notice that this is nearly itentical to a backward Aria bassline)

3. And finally: Ascension - For a Lifetime (Ocean Lab Remix)

|X||Y||X|| ||X||Y||X||Y|

oDrori, really nice :) Thanks!

No basic trance basslines? Download hardstyle and techno and find out basslines, a personal favorite which you find VERY often is this one

code:
X---X---X---X--- kick -X-XX-X--X-XX-X- bass


variations on that one are oftenly used, cause you have the bass in a very breaky situation right after the kick and you have a bass on 2nd and 4th count making that more heavy in combination with snare, which is a dance must.. this is a way to make a record VERY dancable :)
example: marco v - godd

ZENtiiz, thanks!! I love this bass-line :crazy: Really nice advice!!

Shoot, why didn't I pick up on that one sooner? That's so right! And only a handful of producers do it.

Mind you that's a very common trick in Techno, where everything seems to come from African rhythms (the few that are 4/4 anyway, or maybe it's not African but from somewhere else) and there's often an unclear distinction as to whether something is a bassline or an 808-ish second kick drum, specifically in bangin' techno.

Any other good "rules of thumb"?

KICK-bass-KICK-bass.. That is the only bass-line I know. But I would love to learn some others (if there are any) :cool:


Kick bass is classic. It's also why I like some country songs.
