Alright folks,
I've been trying to improve the quality of my basslines as im finding it one of the hardest parts to get right in making a trance tune. Ive read countless articles on here about ways to make professional sounding basslines and a big thanks to fellow tranceaddict members Sterilis, Onova, Dj-Igloo and Derivative, whose previous posts have been very informative. I like the Discover style basslines and therefore this attempt is based on the layering approach. If you would care to take a listen and give me some constructive feedback on ways to improve i would be extremely grateful.

It consists of 4 layers of bass arranged in the following way:

Sub:
K---K---K---K---
--b---b---b---b-
high pass at 30, low pass at 110
no effect, bit of sidechain

low mid:
K---K---K---K---
-b-b-bb--b-b-bb-
hp at 60, lp at 2800
no effect, sidechaining

high mid:
K---K---K---K---
--b--b-b--b--b-b
hp at 260, lp at 2000
sidechain and bit of delay

high:
K---K---K---K---
-bBb-bBb-bBb-bBb
hp at 400, lp at 10000
sidechain and delay

The low and high mid use the same preset from albino, just an octave apart. The high bass uses a different patch from albino. Thanks for your time,

Patrick.

hey mate,
sounds pretty good to me, I'll listen to it again in my monitors for more "details".

I don't know what's your style or what kind of song are you working on, but I would use diferent patches for the Hi bass and mid :)(this is only personal taste)

what do you use for the sub?? it sounds very cool


ps: very nice kick!

The sub is just a single sine wave from vanguard, played on A1 on my midi keyboard. Glad you like the kick, im a big fan of sean tyas and john o'callaghan so have tried to emulate something similar to that sort of style.
