what kind of bass are you after? give me an example and whats the problem the sequence of the bass or the actuall bass sound?

[sirduff]

nope, dude, the problem is with the sound of the bass....the basses i have is too "thin" ( hope u know wat i mean)....or it has a synth sound attached to it...

example: sean tyas lift ( with off beat bass ) im interested in that sound...

thankyou

a great vst yes, but reason doesnt support vst's :(

it might just be a perfect program if it did. i got some pretty good results from vengeance essensial club sounds vol 1&2. each one has 2500 samples that you can play through redrum and your nn19 digital sampler. you might have some luck using ableton live and running your track in reason slave mode via re-wire

thankyou guyzz..!! ill try...

ok dude this is what you do, if you use reason.. use the subtractor, thats a good synth for bass sounds (and other aswell) what you do is that you divide your bas sinto two parts ok? this require eq! take the lately bass preset for example located in the factory soundvbank of reason.. make two subtractors and add an eq two both of the. now one of the bass that will be the mono one cut with a lowpass filter to lets say 500 hz and leave it for now. Next one cut everything below 500 hz and to this one add reverb delay and some chorus or unison. Experiment and thats the key to a great bass sound. Post an sample of the Sean Tyas track and ill se if i can help you with that. if you learned anything from this please thank me :D

good luck dude½!

and dont forget to wrap it all into a combinator if your using reason 3, simplifys all of your instruments into one package that you can even copy and paste into other tracks and reason songs. oh and use a line mixer or even a 16 channel mixer inside of that combinator to run your subtractors and effects (reverbs, delays...) giving you up to four more aux knobs to assign to more effects.

basically what im saying is that if you run combinator over your multi-intrument tracks (which is common in reason refills, you should study how those refills are made) ive even seen guys throw redrums into there bass combinators so when you press a key you hear a bass line and a drum beat :)
