I do a new thread this time, hope thats ok.
Being asked how to copy a specific Eskimo Bassline I did the a little attempt to one-to-one clone that sound. I tried to get as close as possible by using as few plugins as possible. Therefore it doesn't sound as perfect as the original but it sounds differently good and demonstrates that the major part of the sound is the tweaking, not the millions of magic plugins in the chain.
Since the response was very positive I upgraded the tutorial with the most typical bassline patterns used in psychedelic trance. Be aware that for the other patterns another bassline sound and kick should be used to reach a better sound.
I cloned it with three different synths. You hear: Original - Trilogy - Original - Cronx2 - Original - Scorpion - Original - Cronox with other bassline patterns.
Cronox and Trilogy Basslines have been processed with Quadrafuzz and then Voxengo Curve EQ. Scorpion has been processed first with Curve EQ then Quadrafuzz. The midi file and fxp presets are in the folder for use in other sequencers like logic or sonar.
http://www.subconsciousmind.ch/scm/html/workshops/Bassclone.php
Please note!: I do not actualy recommend CurveEQ for basic BassProcessing. Its a good tool to surgicaly achieve a specific sound. Here it was the target to achieve the impossible 1:1 copy of a specific bassline sound. For a perfect sound I would use a less analytic EQ like Voxengo Gliss EQ, URS A Series or any UAD Stuff.
Good Luck

I believe it also works with coronx 3.
Over time I also began to use EQ on bassline more rarly.
One of the best basslines I ever did is only trilogy and voxengo LF-punch. No EQ no Compressor nothing. Just a perfectly tweaked patch and a simple preset from voxengo...
But some basssounds need eq, depends on what you are after.
All presets are in the download folder.
I believe this file is the one and only I would have ever needed to learn how to do basslines. I hope it works for others too.

But what does that mean exactly? If he uses something like Quadrafuzz (or equivalent) you can kind of use it as an EQ and then you don't need a separate EQ to shape the sound.

crono 3 is the shizz for basslines... with the right waves.
Haven't used anything else for a while now - can't imagine it getting much better then this.

I never used cronox in a song, at the moment I dig trilogy.. I can do everything I want.. but I usualy have to put somthing to push under 100hz.

I think trilogy has no ub version if I'm right...I'll surely stick with esm/1

sorry forgot to say - also try using a vintage saw wave whih isn't 'perfect' as this will naturally attenuate the fundamental frequency a touch and you'll need less EQ. .
