your got to bass vsts?

Danny, interesting. My guess is you step the sines together with the kick to make the kick sub more? Many minimal producers use sine, but for making fat moving bass lines and moving subs its pretty thin and useless for my own taste. Sine is so limited, compression and EQ:ing basically does nothing for it, esp EQ does nothing. Anyone know where the sine-bass craze came from?

the reason a sine is used is that you can pick your frequency to match the original kick (say 50hz) and absolutly no harmonics or additional musical information is added whatsoever.

... meaning that there is absolutly no need to eq it.

(the reason eq doesnt work is because it is only one frequency - you could find the exact frequency and then eq will work but its pointless as all you could do is make the signal louder or quieter).

Exactly, that's my point when it comes to sine, hence I find it pretty bad and uninteresting to use for bass and dont get it why its such a "popular"concept and suggested by so many when people ask for ideas to bass.
So again, anyone know where the sine craze came from? I'm genuinely interested.

Basically yeah, pretty much. I'm not sure why I started using it tbh. I just wanted a fatter kick and a bit of rumble to make the kick and the sub kinda of blend together. My kick used to stand out too much. I've just developed it to my taste since the start.

I don't find it limited really because I only use it for one thing really. I don't bother compressing it at all, I use subtle EQing. but other than that, not much else.
