Bassline tips
 
Dash
Simple reverb is the key i find

But is there any other method to making bouncing club bass like maybe

PING PONG Left to Right?

Record a Ping Pong ball, modulate at 100HZ and filter all the highs, and you get a Ping Pong Bass... ?

Like a armin bassline he seems to get it to go left to right with reverb or some form of delay...but hey man that is a good idea for PING PONG Bass lol

Depends on the bassline structure.

I find that reverb/delay combo defintely works well on 1/8 bass notes, but as I recently discovered, with anything more intense (such as a rolling 1/16 bassline) you're MUCH better off using an arp and one long continuous MIDI note.

Playing around with the arp sequence and then adjusting the note lengths (on the actual arp) has proved very effective for me, when combined with a slight touch of reverb.

Ping pong delay is very useful for less melodic basslines. It can be a bit tricky when the bassline rolls up and down as often the delay effect may overlap and key-clash with another note.

Again, depends on the style you are writing :)

Good points there, it really will depend on what style you are making, alot of EDM wants centred Bass/Sub otherwise it gets messy. Try stereo seperation, i'd normally only use it on melodies though because of the effect it has.

My Impreza's exhaust does a mean Phil K style bass! ;)

Seriously.. :rolleyes:

Armin Van Buurens "Shiver" is the best way to describe the bassline that i guess is an ARP a 4 key arp is this correct!?
