Hi,

Do you guys have any tips for beefing up baselines in Ableton?

Any of you guys used T-racks3 for adding volume and home mastering? thoughts?
I like the compressor in IK T-Racks3. Use it here and there but I'm really drowning in compressor plug-ins (all purchased, btw.)

couple things

1 layer synths...now idk how far along you are so that means (to me at least) making multiple instances of a synth...detuning/changing octives/throwing chorus on it or spreading it out ( or the inverse...making it mono or similar) to make it more....there i should say

2 high pass everything above 200 (150?) and throw a sub underneath that hits whenever the other one does...in this case throw a low pass at about 200 on the sub so that they are seperate...but be sure to cut anything under 30 u dont wanna blow up shit haha

3 do both lol

edit:
sausage fattener is kinda nice too

Basslines? Subbass?

A little overdrive or distortion (used correctly) goes a long way.

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.

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'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

for bass lines distortion, bitcrusher, etc...but for pure subbass I'd say the less processing, the better

Sometimes the bit crusher also helps. Or something like Camel Audio's CamelPhat or the free Camel Audio CamelCrusher.

notch out your kick drums first fundamental frequency then notch out its harmonics. waves renaissance bass is a good processing plugin for bass

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!
