Bassline tips

Send your main sample (loop or resample the chopped loop) thru a LPF and rollout everything (200 and above) and then boost your resonance for desired tone.

If playing the bassline on the keyboard...find the vst sound you like (you can eq to make it a sound you love). Figure out and play the melody (mimic the samples melody...not the bassline in the sample if you don't want that) record and then transpose the VSTi to the 4th or 5th (+5 or +7...-7 or -5). Delete unwanted notes and boom, you got a decent original bassline.

something that i hought i should mentiion about finding a bassline to filter.

wen u try to filter out a bassline from a sample be aware that the kicks might come thru with the bassline(if they are kicks with alot of lows)

these kicks might not fall on ur kicks in ur drum sequence which could make the track very different. sometimes laying down a bass loop first then laying ur kicks over the kicks in the sample could sound good.(or just add a snare, hihat and no kick, cause its already there)

I coud be totally wrong about this because I don't know much about bass but I have found that sometimes it's hard to find the right bass because you don't need a bass as the sample carries enough bass in itself. Also if ever I can't find the right bass I sometimes duplicate the chop track, duplicate the chops program, add the duplicated program to the duplicated track, add lpf to the duplicated program and mess with the adsr. Then I have both the normal chops and the filtered chops playing together in the sequence. sometimes it works, other times it sounds like $£@£. There are lots of other tricks for finding or creating a bass, honestly one of the nicest basses I ever had was from taking a TINY part of a airy kick drum, looping it and resampling. It created a really nice sound.

Take this advice with caution though, I could be doing it all wrong.
