Low End in minimal

Okay, not that I am especially interested in making this stuff really but for production practice I feel it would be nice to be able to reproduce this kinda music.
Minimal is so hard for me to wrap my head around it's untrue.
Most other genre's you work to get things upfront in the mix, bass clear even on small speakers, well defined kick, etc.
Minimal is like, wtf?
I find loads of bassdrum samples that fit the bill, but then the bassline. What the ? Do you just let the low end rumble of the long decay clicky sine wave sorta kick carry a simple less bass heavy line, or does loads of low end shaping go on?
On my speakers (which aint the best) I hear very little tbh, on my 7506's its all just muffled rumble.
Any one enlighten me? |

| i think i know what you're talking about here, as I'm currently trying to experiment with the same type of low-end techniques, but in trance not minimal. Basically it's the concept of abandoning the really boomy kick combined with a typical trance bassline, and instead using much lighter/almost 808-type punchy kicks and the right type of deep bass to achieve a warm low end. It's almost like a low end that's present, yet not in your face overkill-style. Pretty fun to mess around with it... |

Yeah that's it, but cause it's so hard to percive how it will sound at club volume, its very very hard to judge if your bass is overkill or not.
Trance bass and everything else is pretty easy to judge, same with the kicks.
Minimal kicks are ing solid to get right.
I need new speakers i think. |
