Need help with basic bass sound!

I've tried and tried to get that "tight" trance bass sound that I hear on about 50% of trance songs. I just can't get anywhere close. The best sound I can find is using Albino 3, but it just doesn't compare. Anyone have any sounds they could email me? I use Sylenth, Tone 2 Tone Gladiator, Massive and Sylenth.
On this MP3 you hear the stereotypical bass sound from someone else's trance song (that I want to achieve), then you hear my best bass sound....

| For starters, raise the cutoff frequency on your filter a bit and/or increase the filter envelope amount. |

| Already cranked all the way. What I need is a sound set patch. |

| Or make your own? There are enough tutorials on youtube or written to help you with this. |

I've found nothing but crap on YouTube. I'll look some more.
I've also purchased lots of soundsets for my various virtual synths. Nothing holds up to what I hear from various artists. |

| This may get scoffed at, but have a look at a few short tracks in the Vengeance Trance Sensation series. Each track comes with individual stems, which will give you a good insight into how a bassline sounds raw before it gets mixed in with the rest. |

Try recording your bassline at 1/2 speed and down one octave.
So instead of 16th notes, you are using 8th notes in your sequence. Or just halve the master tempo in your DAW.
Then freeze it, and import back into your DAW, transpose it an octave higher without timestretching so it plays at the intended speed and with faster attacks. |

think thats a good idea, thats exactly what ive been doing. you can recreate the sounds, and even recreate the riffs as an excercise - its good especially if you are quite new to trance
Look at the sounds through a frquency analyser, and look at raw waveforms in your synth through it too, then compare your recreation with the original.
Learning how to make your own sounds has more longevity in it than relying on presets all the time |

PsyTrance bass. On this MP3 you hear the stereotypical bass sound from someone else's trance song (that I want to achieve), then you hear my best bass sound....

There so many tutes on youtube for this sound, and with some actual practice and playing around with your synth you'll easily recreate. Sylenth is fine for this, wouldnt use gladiator thou |

OK. Here's the latest and closest sound I could create in Sylenth.

The first half is the typical psytrance bass I am trying to create and the 2nd half is my best effort, which still doesn't have the tightness. It sounds muddy. Maybe it's the mastering process that brings out the punchiness. |
