    That site has been helping me keep things sounding clean for god knows how long.

    Or not, sometimes dissonance works wonders, especially when you are using a loose filter that might emphasise the dissonance

    That it is, It's just a matter of taste/preference to pick a more musical scale.

    Sometimes proper chromatic chords work really nicely in basslines, you do get very interesing harmonics especially when playing with extreme filter resonance.
    But also with dissonance you can get some very odd vibrations that work to really screw people up on the dancefloor.

    Well the settings only really apply to the particular compressor you use.

    To set the compressor, or in fact whenenever I use sidechaining for bass, I always tune by ear.

    So, fastest attack, fastest release, highest ratio and lowest threshold.

    Play loop, I then "tune" the release until the pump works to the required groove, adjust the attack so there is no "popping" and the compression sounds smoother.
    Then back off the threshold (and possibly the ratio) to get the desired pump.
    For this particular tune I backed off the threshold until the first point where serious pumping stopped being obvious.

    Sometimes if the bass is really big, but has a lot of mid or high end presence I will split off the signal and only sidechain the low end, say, from 200hz down, so that pumping is less noticable.

    well the settings I used would only apply to the particular compressor I used.
    The same settings on different compressors will give sometimes vastly different behaviours.


    I`m going to add more to this bass tutorial post, with some different types of bassline, such as long drum and bass type, deep dub etc.

    I`ll reply to tutorial requests rather than just doing stuff in any order.

    I do however have to put up my video I have done for synapse audio software, which is me making a techno tune from beginning to end.

    Brilliant advice here. I am going to try the very thing with my Monomachine's digiens machine and see what I get... then being the resident old fart I'm going to play it back at 126 bpms so I can move the ol' carcass to it. :D
