Do we really need more tracks that sound like that ? |
Would that be a bad thing? |

Depends on who you ask, in this case he is whoring himself out to a label by making a style of music that "sells" and yeah thats definitely a bad thing.. artistic freedom anyone ? |

Well I just want to make tracks that are good enough to get out there. I mean they done some great things for me and I havent released for a while and since my last one they have signed some good talent. They are the type that make big huge trance monster records that sell so I just kinda want to prove I can too.
Oh and they signed my most original track first, and that was nothing like commercial trance. Admittedly they had it remixed into trance monster land but still.
Thanks for stickin up for me :) |

| I could think of far worse people to model than Tyas to be honest with you.. It's always easy to bag out the big guns, isn't it? |

If it will help you make better tracks in the future, why not?
practice is practice! The idea is to make lots of tracks to practice on so that in time you will not only make quality tracks but also develop your own style. |

IMO , having a great mid bass isn't very important. What is more important , is that you have a great sub bass that rolls along with the kick. I mean , look at Aly & Fila. Many of his tracks is dominated by that Sub Bass that they use frequently.
And I find that , what makes a song more interesting in terms of basslines , is the presence of moving acid lines or screaming FM basslines , instead of those mid basses. |

Some tips I have picked up:
- Don't go over-board with EQ or filtering off frequencies, cause you'll make all your sounds weak.
- Sometimes get a good patch you use for leads or acid or whatever, throw a load of delay on it, and use the same or similar notation to your basslines, then drop it down like 2 octaves, leads pitched low with a good bass already sounds niceeeeee.
- Experiment with square and saw combinations, be careful of sine cause it takes up a tonne of headroom up easily. |

thanks for the advice, my basslines have been lacking major. You just sped up the process a wee bit :P |
