I just saw one of the hard dance videos, and he layers a looped kick transposed and shortened into tune with the other bass, and ive tried it myself, it is a really cool idea and gives that gritty buzz for harder styles… but… if you have a bass that goes up and down in notes, it can sound bad when it hits the higher or lower notes, is there a way around this or does it just depend on what sample/notes you use?
This is all down to your tuning mate. Watch how phill does t and also heck out the Swedish house mafia tuts as he does it there as well. If it’s in tune it shouldn’t matter if it goes up or down as Phils bass as far as I can hear also moves notes. Also mess around with the release.
