Hope your right on this. A pro siad on the anjuna forum you can never get a decent kick sound once it's inside cubase, and so far no matter what I've done the kicks end up with a wooden plasticky sheen, but I guess common sense dictates he and I are probably imagining it.
In the end you're right that everyone just says something, but I hear great crisp tracks from any DAW.

Spot on, sine wave turned down two octaves and pitch with tiny decay gives a nice clicky subbass.

I mean more like this track (awaits a certain someone to chime in with his usual 'thats nothing special, anyone could do it') after 1 minute or so;
I have been under the impression that most of the artists that make this type of bass sound, use either pitched down toms tuned to the key of your track played through a sampler, or a second kick that plays a bassline role but is filtered down to not hear the click type sound, and the decay would most likely have to be shortened on most kick sounds to get that type of sound. I think I saw a tutorial on this type of sound, I'll have a look around for it.
look around 4:45, I have seen others use tom type sounds and kicks before too. If this is even the type of sound u are looking for..... Minus the distortion he does to it.

It's a stock standard rolling bass line with reverb to add that thicker stereo image.
Don't try complicate things :P

umm, ok, it was just a suggestion. If he's looking for a sound why not try? Its called getting creative. Maybe it won't work for him but, what does he have to lose besides time spent. Which he does the same pondering these questions here anyways. I think its worth a try is all i'm saying. And for the record, its not that complicated.
Julz
No need to get defensive. He asked about the bass in the YouTube vid.
Lucidity
And I made a suggestion and you acted like the idea was blasphemy. It was just an idea....

I understand, but your suggestion was unfortunately not correct.

Do not ever trust his person again, seriously wtf is this? Can you get a great sounding tune, import it in Cubase, play it and it will somehow make it sound ?? Magic Cubase summing algorythm -izer built in?
Some time ago Reaper guys did a lot of testing on major DAWs and the mixes all *nulled*. All DAWs sound the same.

UMEK and Marcel have told several times, they use kicks and toms for bassline's which they either pitch to key or use patches which are already mapped over an octave, then you can layer with sine subs for longer decay and thickness
