So in FL Studio's Piano Roll my basslines usually hang out between C3 and C5..i think its like this on all Daw's...once you get into c3 area how do you keep the notes form losing their power?           www.soundcloud.com/kabbalisticvillage

your bassnotes are most between C1 and C2.
FL is some octaves to high in its representation.

i normally go to the lowest possible bassnote and tweak from there. dont know really what specific parameters to check to go as low as possible there.

its a decision where to stop to go lower.
some semitones higher is always a much easier place to build the bassline but i like the main bass as low as possible.

sometimes a warmer saturator like gsonique x4000 of rbass or things like that can help to get some more harmonics.

but i do that at the end when the mix is almost ready. as it can screw the mix with its added harmonics.

F1 is pretty low bassline for me, most bl´s are in G or A. i never go above C2.

proper ADSR setttings and eq is the key i guess!!

also u can use xbass on the bass to make it sound heavier later. tht is what i usually do if my bass note is on a very low octave.

i had this issue time ago, the best for not losing so much power and inteligibility is to split the notes
between lower octave for solidness and one octave up for accents
kudos to the mastering engineer for this tip           http://mystic-sound.com/releases/ioon-cosmic-downtempo-9314-oclock/
