try the saturator with waveshaper in ableton to distort your basslines further. we have a course in hard dance too. - if you are looking for distorted basslines check out the glitchstep house course for resampling type techniques - from tutorial 8 onwards i think it is, all relevant stuff for getting bigger basslines!

Thanks the glitch tutorial was really helpful splitting up the sound into different frequency’s like that really thickens and fills up the sound, one last question I have re-sampled it so its just one sound now how would you go about with eqing at the mix down point, if you were to put a high pass on it to keep it out of the low end you would then be loosing the sub in the actual sample just wondering how you would go about it if you were mixing it down.



Thanks again for all the help you provide

depends really - if you want the sub. then don’t eq it all out!



if its just the mids you are after then eq the bottom end out and add another sub bass on the same notes
