so, how often do you use multiple bass patches in a track?
or, if you don't change it, how do you keep it from getting boring? compressor settings? change in filter? chorus effects?
i've been writing a new track and brings the bass in and out, in a breathing process of sorts. just curious if ya'll do the same? |

It always nice with changes that has a seamless feeling to them. And also impact changes, like making things sound thinner just to introduce its fullness later on
But if you use same baseline through out a whole track the importance of arrangement, small breaks and fills. Leaving out a note here and there and focusing on the flow and tension and release of the track becomes important. But also the playing of the percussion, to lead the track with fills and buildups and dropouts and all that makes for motion.
Also dropouts and buildups, Key changes if appropriate can be very nice, also making small note fills, like dip dap dop at the end of a bar, going for the terza and quint, lets say playing with intervals, can be very powerful for tension raisers..
But yes effects can be nice, although im not a fan of playing to much with effects, as it sounds too much as entertainment than creating a solid trance track. for me less is more. But maybe im just lazy hehe.
Also making long bass tones for breaks, to make those phat things that you feel in the chest.
What is also nice is to take your full-body bass and dissect it and make the puzzle complete as you go..
Logic bomb old stuff has this way of making a groovy bass and for the last 2 min of the track they introduce the fullon bass, makes for good climax almost all the times....
