Ok, here is the sample of the bass first:
[[ LINK REMOVED ]]


I think it goes pretty much like this:
K-c-k-c-k-c-k-c- (k=kick and c=clap)
b-bbb-bbb-bbb-bb (b=bass)

And the ebat is 84bpm

But for somereason I can't get the same "pulsating" feel to the bass...
So any ideas?

Sounds like a simple detuned bass patch on the offbeat. If you can find a similar patch and have your song at 168 bpm you may hear the difference.

I'll check it out on better speakers later today.

Hmm... You think it's offbeat bass?
not like:
K-c-k-c-k-c-k-c- (k=kick and c=clap)
b-bbb-bbb-bbb-bb (b=bass)

And 168bpm?
Oh...
palm
sidechain?

Sounds to me like a simple saw bass going like this

1-2-3-4
K-K-K-K
BbBbBbB

B being the high bass note
b being the low bass note

And I'm willing to bet anything that B is exactly one octave higher thatn b.

edit: maybe a -12dB low pass filter with low resonance and high frequency cut will get you closer

This reminds me that most of the time, people try to get everything automatically (even me).

Like right here, we were looking for a way to get the pulsating bass "at the touch of the button" but what was needed was some simple melody work.

I may be totally wrong but I think I got something here to think about.

The bass is sidechained.
