Creating basslines from ur samples on the 4k

whenever i try to do a low pass filter thru the edit window i the sample just plays to low even when the amp under that window is all the way p still plays at same volume what is the beats way to getthat bass of ur samples without losing and colume on the 4 k ?

Sorry, I don't understand what you're asking. The filters work really good on the 4000 and can be useful in some cases, and isn't needed in others, purely depends on your samples and what you want to achieve.

Most people use exernal eq as well through mixers etc, there's many ways to tweak a bass sound or any sound for that matter, no general rules. Try experimenting! There isn't any 'best' way. Never has been and never will.

Qlink can help you dial in the cutoff frequency, amplitude, and eq. You can use it on all of the program or the pad editor if you got the sample in a drum program. Also you can use the mixer page to set the level of your bassline and drums. And yet you can use an external mixer to boot.

a good tip for filtered basslines is to use the distortion effect to make it knock more. play with the distortion and you'll see what I mean. Peace to Freedom for that tip.

The low end theory and the mpc 4000

How do you get that low bass out of a sample without it sounding muddy I mead I want it to sound like just a bass....

What is the mPC????
Midi PRoduction Center......What does it do that allows you to craftly engineer the bass out of a sample???
The mpc 4000 has resample...
Go to Record go to input source no go to main out...
From here YOu can record your sample...
What you wanna do is get your bass freq down low enough thats its just bass but not too low that its mud...
I usually like a 4 pole lp pole + filter...Cause I can add resonace that will bring in a little more highs if Iam missing some eq...

So I go low and find the sweet spot that sounds like more bass than backround sound...

Then go to the record and Resample that bass line filtered...

Now make sure that you turn up the global levels so that it peaks around 0 or less...
And make sure it has auto normalize on!!!!!!!
IF your levels are low when it does this your bass will mudd up...
You have to be loading a good signal into your recording before normalizing...

Then when you have your sample it should sound like what you did with the 4pole lp filter...
Now make that sample into a program and filter it again with a 6pole lp or a 4lp+ again and keep repeating the process till you only can hear the bass like the presence of a sub or however distinct you want it..

Remember to fool around with resonance every other time..
Not high just like 12 8 or 15....

Also IT took me 8 times of resampling to get a bassline out of an old 78 rpm cause of all of the old record noise.In and around the same frequnceis...

So everytime you filter it again look for the main dominant sounding filter. and then load on that freq and kill up above it...

Aight Hope that hel.pd

nice tip Freedome!!!

just wanted to throw a litlle spice into your hot sause : on the record input set up a q fx (soft key4 or sumthing in Record window and set up EQ on the input stage, you can even set up 4 eq's, might help/speed things up a bit..
