Last night I was trying to recreate the bassline of protonicas refresh track because I wanted to find out how to create such a pumping sound in the bassline. Anyway I figured out that what I was missing was a good kickdrum sample. I cut out the kickdrum from the track and used it with my bass and it almost sounded the same like in the track. Anyway using bazzism and my library of kickdrum samples I didnt come close to create the bassline sound.
I just couldn t create the same attack of the kickdrum like in the track, the low end I think is not the problem. It s so much more pumping but not clicking at the same time. So yes I could need some help getting this kickdrum sound, maybe you guys have ideas how to create it ore even samples to share. Thank you!!!:)

Try layering the kickdrum like in this example or using a sine wave to control the subs of the kicks:

you need short retrigered pulse and filtered noise on top of the sine pitch bended .
you can pitch bend it less to get the attack with high pitched pulse burst and noise combinaison but what ever work...
beeing random the more noise the more each hit will be different, giving you the choise of different attack of that kind when bouncing few bars .
it s one type of kick the mbase is good at but you can make them in most synths flexible enought .
best is to have a separate amp envelop for each elements.
it s one way to make that kind of kick

more simple , find a sample with attack like this, and use it on top of your usual psy kicks with layering/fade

Thank you but the thing is -I didnt find a sample that with that kind of attack but I ll find out how to synthesize it. In case some people havent seen this. For me this was pretty helpful:
