Can someone help us out, I'm beginner but have made this sorta base but have lost it due to water fucking up my laptop and can see to get anything like it... it's that smooth rolling sub bass sound if that makes sense, it's used in this track.

Right now I'm just getting close but it's still too rough sounding, although adding a compresser helps but I not sure if I'm going down the right path or just papering over the cracks -you know what I mean?

p.s. I'm almost certain it's the latter, ohh and I'm using the 3x Osc so you know.

im no expert on subbass, i am still trying to perfect mine as well, and i dont know 3x osc, but heres what i can say about subbass:

keep it simple, one, maybee two sine waves (tuned one octave apart) and lp filter at around 100hz. maybee split the signal into two seperate signals, one clean going straight to the mixer, the other can be routed through a tape distortion or something and then mixed with the clean signal to produce a clean but yet slightly distorted subbass.

theres alot of dudes in here that could give you better tips than i could, but imo i think subbass is pretty simple, sine wave not to much processing.

but like i said im no expert.

Use 1 sine wave for bass, put it in mono.
Tune it manually untill you find the "sweet spot" somewhere around 50Hz you'll notice that it starts to hum really nice.
Low pass at 100HZ and sidechain it to the kick so the kick can push through the sub whenever it hits.
