Advice for creating a progressive house bass sample
View this Thread in Original format

Just wondering if anyone has any idea how to get a bass sample that sounds like

around :22 seconds is where the bass comes in, that I really like.

Anyways, two questions..
1) Can someone give me advice as to how to recreate the bass in this song?
2) Would you consider this progressive house? I think it does..I always thought progressive house focused on the beat and bass more than anything else.

Thanks for moving it..

And really? I just want some advice on how to get that sound :o

seems like a pretty standard bass. I think the doubling with minor 7 chord pluck might be throwing you off.

Its not really the chord progression that I want to recreate (although I really like it), its the sound.

I've been trying to recreate the sound on Logic with a preset (Dark Pluck Bass), and then I change the waves around so that they are all sawtoothes, two of them detuned + and -, and one of them's at 0.
I've also added delay and reverb, but still nothing.

Am I missing something that other producers know about how to make plucks? :/
RichieV
what i'm saying is that the bass is doubled by a chord and this might be distracting you from the rather simple bass sound.
rriparetti
So theres essentially two layers of bass then?
RichieV
no

there is the bass sound and then the pluck chord sound on top doubling the bass.

Not quite.

The sub-bass that is playing at the beginning of the sample is still there. But then an additional layer of 'plucked' style synth chords come in on the 22 second mark following the same pattern as the bassline but playing minor 7th chords (which gives them that slightly off-key sound)

It's essentially a lead synth layered over a bass-line with the filter cut-off low enough for it to blend with the bass sound. If you listen later in the track, he opened up the filter and you can hear the synth is a separate sound from the sub bass.
