Any ideas? I'm starting to get a bit better at it, but find it difficult to use basslines on the sorta dark techno sound I've been pushing lately. I find that increasing the lowend on the kicks usually makes things sound quite bassy, is this what pretty much most people do (i.e. Pounding grooves, really bassy techno but with no recognisable bassline - whats that all about?).

I found thus far with basslines, that they sound like they belong with dodgy electro or house music rather than those really low, subtle basslines that you get with techno. I mean, do people like Speedy J even use basslines? I'm interested to know how those producers make techno that dosnt seem to have one, but then the bass freq is seems to be hiding there somewhere...

One more question, whats the deal with bass saturators? Someone told me to use them, any idea's what they do and if so, do they come in VSTi and it would be nice if you recommend some!! phew, lot of quesitons there!
