i dont want to sound like a snob or anything... oh fck it i am a snob... but to me sampling a bassline is really lazy. i mean its one of the main parts of your track, its the first thing people skip to when they listen to your tune, so if you've used a sample off someone else's track, then its theirs, not yours, you know? surely when the dj swaps the bass and the new bassline comes in, you want people to go "sheet hot, thats the new <insert your name here> tune" not "fking hell another hennes and cold tune" its really not that hard to make fat basslines, and it is SOOOO worth the effort... there are a pantload of softsynths on the pc that can do proper fatness, as long as you compress em a bit your sorted... andreas kramer's bassline comes from vb-1, this is the softsynth bass guitar emulator that comes free with cubase! sure, its maximised, distorted, compressed, whatever, but thats why its called production !
