How can i get bass to sound louder

I'm using an mpc 2000xl, triton music sampler/workstation, mophatt rack, cubase sx.......I'm having problems with the volume of my bass guitar's from my trition and mo phatt, all my bass guitars's on my mophatt and even on my triton sound to low for the track, i have the velocity turn all the way up on the mpc and i check volume on the triton and on the mixer on my mpc......can someone please post any suggestions!!!

what r u listening through

Turn all the other instruments down...!!!!

the mo phatt n tha triton should have a master db level like the mpc up to 12+ db or higha , try turn the mpc master level down n the volume of ur other devices up or check a guitar amp with line out as fx send from ur hardwear mixer to booooost ur bassssss up

First of all, when recording your bassline allways turn the damn reverb off!

I don't know the kind of recorder you possess, but try a préamp w/eq befor the recorder's, the TLA Ivory Serie's or Mindprit do the job, ART préamp's are also good for low budget.

You said "bass guitars" ,on mophatt or either will sound flatt!
You've better try to sample a real bassplayer (scales, fingaz, slapping) through your MP, it will sound with more dynamic than in triton or either.

But never ever skip the préamp!!!

Big up! and take care.

If the bass line is sounding weak I'd suggest running a low pass over it, then tweak the EQ a hair bit. Make it sound a bit thicker and warmer that way. Then for the final touch I'd compress it about 3dB. This should get it to stand out in the mix a bit better and thicken it up.

Simple but effective trick.........Layer it (add a sub)....Even mess with the attack.

Then make sure you got a decent all round mix...Check your gains on the mixer....You dont want nothing working to hard in the mix - That will drown other things out

what ill do is sample really loud. then drop all my sounds, try and get a bass note out of your song. i dont give a shit if theres other sounds over it, sample it, turn the low pass filter down to zero, turn the high pass filter up to about 7-9, experiment. the low pass will give it boom, but the high pass will make it cut through a bit better. the bass sound that stands alone will boom, but you might find that some noise or other instruments are still kind of over the bass sample and on its own, it may not sound clean, but when its in the mix, the main melody will basically drown out the other messy shit over the bass tone and you just get a really warm sound out of it.
