All i got is a MPC2000l, a turntable and cool edit. I need baselines! how does anyone else with this set up do it? what is a good keyboard to use, some that dont cost hundreds of dollars.

Thanks for the info

take a horn or whatever sample, use the 16 levels to adjust the tuning, turn the filter down real low and rock your bassline.

do what he says or take a simple sine wav, load it into your trim screen, go to LOOP mode and find a nice clean wav to loop and make sure there are no clips...then go into PARAMS and filter that baby down..thats how i do mine

The 'Bass Mekanik 5' CD. It's one of those bass CD's people use for car stereo competitions. With like 100 tracks of different BASS hz's. I just cut the frequency that I like up in Sound Forge, tweak it a bit, then load the one sample on the MPC. Then I use 16 levels on that b*tch. Boom Boom. Can't go wrong.

I have two synths, but I still use 16 Levels most often for bass lines.

Use a mic and make bass noises with your mouth. Actually, sample anything, and use those freq adjustments everyone's talking about. You have a better chance at making a bass line that no one has ever heard. It's all up to you...what you think sounds good n all....
