I got hold of a copy of Vengeance Clubsounds 1 a while back, which I thought would help a little with getting the authentic sound I want (since it's a sample pack from the time), however I'm struggling to even mix any kick and bass samples together; every attempt sounds flat/uninspiring regardless of samples used/EQing/reverb/delay etc - even though I can pick out plenty of these samples from existing tracks I cannot replicate the feel at all. I've also had some attempts at the 'newer' hard trance sound and failed in the same way.
As per previous posts I've been struggling with basslines anyway, but the fact that the issue extends to using existing samples that I know can make good tracks makes it even more frustrating. I'm not sure where I'm going wrong, or if it really is down to not using analogue gear...
A couple of examples, though these are the better-sounding ones since I haven't saved most of the attempts
