the bass from both will negate the sound from the other, so you'll get left with a quivering bassline throughout the song.
this is when played in your car, though.

not if u EQ it rite and use some filters!

@5 element ninja - i usually pitch shift them down directly....with about 5-6 octaves
i need to know you tricks to make a bass line...a corect one (except sampling the bass from the original song). with vst plugins etc. how do you make it so it won't be off-key

GHOST DISCIPLE · 01-12-2007, 10:29 AM

Is there anyone who knows how to make dope bass lines? With what program (for example midi-keyboard)?

Peace

Complex · 01-12-2007, 01:59 PM

Midi keyboards are probobaly give tah most vesatilaty with bass patterns .. The old Korg Tritons are pretty easy to use with Midi functions ect.. Although My soundcard came with a ton of vst plugins and softsynths that can be manipulated into some ill bass soundz.. Other than that try samplin minor keys and down pitching them or even guitar stringz.. I just get creative wit shit..

Another tip I would suggest to producers usin FL is timestretching your samples to fit your drum bpm.. theres a function where u can individually change pitch, mul, and time.. this makes it easy to match ur drum patterns..
Also try adjusting your individual drum instruments to different levels or using a cut filter or resonance .. (Ex. change frequency and velocity of your hi hats).. this gives more range in your drums, just expirement wit different functions 2 get best results..

Cant give away all ma secrets, hope this helps tho..

LORD ZERO · 01-12-2007, 02:19 PM

I Got A Headset So Usually When I Record, I Go To The Eq Afterwards And Take All The Low Frequencies Out, So That Way Ya Voice Is More Clear W/ No Unexpected Bass In Ya Voice

Imma give u cats a jewel,that alot cats know.Take ya loop and make 2 copies of it.on the 1st one put a low pass filter on it so its just the bass then eq it or ad some subtle distortion.on the 2nd one put a hi pass filter on it.
Another trick u can do is take a ill ass loop put a low pass filter on it.then just add different samples on top so the low pass loop will act as the main bassline
