Secrete Code!?!?!?!/Bassline Sound

I should have said, "How do they make the sound to create their basslines". Thanks for all the posts on the other Subject. Maybe this one will get as much attention.

the secret to basslines theory wise is finding the root of the key that your in. Once u have that you just follow the root chourd notes(usually 3rds 3, 5 7 etc,,). Change the order of the notes your playing, if u wanna get frisky add some diminshed & augmented versions of the root chourd in there.
IF u want that jazzy blues feel you just use the penatonic scale of the key that your in and throw in some blue notes

A rule of thumb, 99% of basslines are second or third inversions of the root chourd.(usually triads or M7 chourds) with optional agumentation to give a jazzy feel

If im confusing you i really dont mean to, point is, if u got an ear for it follow that and develope it. It really aint hard if you got the ear, ish just pops in your head

but if u aint got that natural abilitiy, look up what i said theory wise ,it should put you on the right track.

Classic knows what he talking about, couldn't have said it better myself..The Bassline is playing the root note of the harmonic progression..... so it should change with each chord change.... secret code???? I think you are using the wrong terminology for making basslines....

I can create a bassline. I want to know, where do they get the [u]bass sound[/u]!!

Well thats your fault for being vauge man, in the last couple of posts you specifically said "bassline". People cant read minds

TO get a good bass just sample a lowtone, EQ and compress, set sustain points it and then spread it across the keys using a autochromatic function. Almost all the bass i use is made by me.

Get a tb-303. I heard it's an excellent bass-guitar synthesizer

You're absolutely right Classic, I was vague. Thanks for the info

NP, another trick is to sample a rubberband and EQ it so ur just left with the bass sound. That gives u a nice fat bass if u put enough time into it
