Hello my friends, i tried 1000 ways to make this bassline from ace ventura, and i cant do it, i have two days triyng to do, have some interested "new" grooves but is not the same, i wanna know how is made becouse is not the tipical groove on the tracks, has techno influence, and a powerfull flow, i dont want to copy his style, just want to know how the hells does.
I use trillian, i played with diferent delay's, diferent modulation's, diferent lfo's... waves.. vel.. use a sidechain.. etc.
So, one has done??
this is the bass..

I think it is a pretty standard bassline with groove quantize. That last part is pretty important to get the groove right.

indeed, saw wave,the groove come from clever note placement and duration.
About grooves... does any of you guys use abletons groove engine on baselines?
I've messed about but came to the conclusion that manual placement still gives me more control.
maybe thats just placebo dunno....

its called the Groove Pool.
In the lower left hand corner of your browser on the left side of your screen there are two ~ squiggles. Click the squiggles.
Now the Groove Pool window pops up - right click in it and "browse groove library"
Now it sends you to a list of grooves. Drag a groove from the list onto a MIDI clip. Now adjust the timing, quantize and velocity to taste.
Some good grooves to start with are the MPC 16th grooves for hi-hat patterns or basslines.
I use swing on tons of stuff - especially percussion and basslines but I tend to keep the timing at ~40-70% depending on the groove.

Thank you very much man. I'm using Ableton since two years and never even noticed that icon.
I feel a dumbass.

Eyh mate,
I was able to reproduce that bassline using the following method in any DAW:
1) Get the VST called 'Izotope Idrum'
2) In this VST ( very straightforward and easy to use) set the 'Swing' to approx. 66 and 'Groove' to around 5. It's a matter of personal taste.
3) Within the VST, do a K-B-B-B roll like you would for any regular psytrance kick-bass.
Ajust the velocity of the notes ( height of the blue bar) to:
K-100% B-40% B-100% B-80%
This doesn't have to be totally accurate but it will give you kbbb that nice rolling sound.
4) In the bottom right corner of the VST, there is a 'Export as Midi' button. Export it to your desktop or within your DAW.
5) Et voilą ! You have the same exact midi groove as the Ace Ventura song. Now use it with your favorite bass sound and kick .
I tried it and with a sample Juno6 bass and some random kick sound, I was able to get very close to that sound.
Add some sidechaining, compression, EQ, etc. and you're on the go.
thanks guys
