| Monserrate Rupnow 24.08.2011 | Layer a sine wav (Operator) underneath to get some low end oomph, maybe an octave down depending on how deep your bassline is. Saturator is a gret way to give just a little bit of bite to basslines to make sure they still cut through the mix and don't get masked by the kick. |
| Matha Mearkle 22.08.2011 | in massive go into VOICING. Set the unisono to 4. like, 1st pit stop for me and bass patch creation. that should start you on our way. |

I've got the Waves plug ins so i'll check out renaissance as well. Any of you guys used T-racks3 for adding volume and home mastering? thoughts? |
| Breana Singerman 10.08.2011 | I'm a big fan of the CLA2A compressor. Can really push the shit out it and make the bass hum. Just make sure you are adding a sub bass if you don't have one (around the C2 range works well for me) and make sure you have a proper set up to actually "hear" it. If you trying to make it on shitty headphones/speakers you will never be able to tell what you're doing |
| Stephaine Hains 11.08.2011 | for bass lines distortion, bitcrusher, etc...but for pure subbass I'd say the less processing, the better |
| Celine Surico 11.08.2011 | Sometimes the bit crusher also helps. Or something like Camel Audio's CamelPhat or the free Camel Audio CamelCrusher. |
| Teresia Janusch 10.08.2011 | notch out your kick drums first fundamental frequency then notch out its harmonics. waves renaissance bass is a good processing plugin for bass |

| Edris Acevedo 10.08.2011 | I'm talking baselines here. Beefier, Chunkier, Fuller pick one they all mean the same thing. I've created a nice baseline for my track using Massive but it needs more oomph. I'm looking for some recommended tricks to get it sounding big! |
