Anyone got any tips on creating really driving off beat bass? I want to create this bass on my novation Nova can anybody help? When I try it usually sounds quite weedy compared to basses on records.

Re: Off Beat Bass
It always will mate, the sound of a nicely mixed down vinyl is so hard to accomplish on your pc.

layer a few different basses together till you get something fat or try using the same bass layered but at different octaves.

id also recommend slapping a waves renaissance bass on there. but go easy on it. and play with it for ages too.
itll take good care of the bottom end of the sound, and you can concentrate on making the mids sound fat.
also, many basses that sound as if they start on the offbeat actually start on the second 16... for example alot of uberdruck b-lines. you can get a really nice groove and achieve some nice kick/bass pressure.the alarm clock\'s going off. but you\'re not waking up. this isn\'t happening.
