Hello.. please don't send me to that mother of...

I'm trying to make a rolling bassline with a note in every space bbbb , but it does not not sound like I want it to sound.

At the moment I have been trying to do it with a hi pass filter where the kick is hitting, no sidechain.

Any tips will be much appreciated..

Example: "if the track key is A minor, i will try to place the A note on every kick (A---A---A---A) or the corepondent 5'th note: (A---E---A---E) etc.. to create an equilibrium in the track, because the bassline and the drums are the main structure of a song. If those doesnt fit together, or sound good...nothing will!" 2) Why, i use the bass notes over kick ??? Well, because this will make the kick sound more integrated into the track, more warm. Without this, the kick will sound dry and out of the track, no metter how much compresion or eq you use. 3) about the velocity: I set the general bass notes to 100%, but when the kick meets the bass i set the velocity to aprox. 20 %, Never more !!! So a classical 4/4 velocity, bass measure will look like this: (20% - 100% - 100% - 100%) REMEMBER ! This is not a rule !!! It all depends of the kick u use, or the feeling you wanna give to the track !!! So, if you have a plastic, dry kick u can use this metode. If your kick is warm and full of all frequences, you can play it alone, without bass note over it.

you can also use a a other synth to mimic a sub osc, the sub will play bbb and the second synth play bbbb one octave higher with a different waveform (ever saw or ssquare depending what used for the sub) this can be good for goaish bassline . that way you can leave the sub mono wihtout any fx in case you want to use some
