You mean that bassline? Well, in a lot of cases it's an 808 basskick with distortion. Valve distortion to be precise. Getting the distortion right is what it's all about... __ "In dnb you should make people jump not swim" - Pieter Frenssen 2004 01-10-2009 19:41 BattleDrone 2161... the future.

Getting the distortion right is what it's all about... exactly, use an 808 kick and distort it, for some good sub action you might want to hi-pass the distorted 808 at about 100Hz and layer a non distorted 808 kick underneath. __ Check my soundcloud (exclusive tracks on there) 01-10-2009 20:21 drumnbass.be forum » Production » Production questions & answers » Extremely Common Drum and Bass Sound!!!
