Bass lines - Having trouble creating, I just cannot create! :) Posted on: 30.01.2012 by Horacio Stranathan Well here goes, I started producing a little bit, if you can call it that. My production is simple but slowly I am getting the hang of it. Now I have tried many different software packages from ableton to FL studio's and I have a maschine. I love the simplicity of the maschine software, but I am stuck with one aspect of basic music. THE BASS LINES. I cannot seem to find or create a nice running bass line with different octaves. I also cannot find a nice thick kick bass drum like the old Snoop dogg gin and juice beat. Anyone help with a sound or a how-to? | |

| Horacio Stranathan 31.01.2012 | I understand music theory and the whole inner workings of speakers and such. I just don't know how to create that sound within Maschine. I will have to download the massive manual and take a peak. |

| Malorie Flamenco 30.01.2012 | I would suggest you to read or get some music theory to understand those things then. |
| Horacio Stranathan 30.01.2012 | So do I have to create these, or are they a preset or wav file that i alter? I am confused where to start. Where would I find a sine wave sound? |
| Monserrate Rupnow 30.01.2012 | I believe the mistake most people make with basslines is that they try and make them too complex. A simple sine for the subs and a filtered square or triangle OSC for more bite up top will get you 90% of the way there. |
| Malorie Flamenco 30.01.2012 | Try to create your chord progression first and then use the notes to create your bassline? |
| Breana Singerman 30.01.2012 | Keep at it? |
| Horacio Stranathan 30.01.2012 | Anyone? |
