Hi!

I am trying to make a bassline for some hip hop rap songs i am doing, and cannot for the life of me find the bass i want! all the bass sounds i have are either cheap corny synths, or fake sounding bass guitars.

Here is where i need someones help! if anyone could somehow send me a bass sound or two as a wav, mp3 or whatever is convenient, it would be greatly appreciated! i am looking ofr that bass that one would frequently hear in rap music...the deep rumbling kind...aol name is djflickdj

to anyone who helps, thanks so much!!!

Put a Bass POD Pro in the rack, jack it into the board, get any decent Bass with new strings, and dial it up, man...Richie
 
What soundcard and software are you using? You may be able to use SoundFonts to get a better bass sound.
 
Are you talking about 808 bass? (long deep sub tones that rumble the neighbors windows). There are a bunch of drum machines that have it. One of them the Boss Dr. Rhythm. I think it came from an early Roland drum machine (an 808) in the 80's that everybody in rap/hip-hop kind of took to.

There is a program the emulates this drum machine, but I can't think of it for the life of me.
 
There are several programs that emulate TR-808's. The best one is Rebirth from Propellerheads (http://www.propellerheads.se/).
You'll have serious problems getting those deep rumbling things out of it though, or for that matter out of a real 808.
But if you take a low 808 kick and sample it and play it out at half speed, then you got something! :-)

Rebirth emulates a TR-808, a TR-808 and two TB-303. And you can get some seriously funky basslines from a TB-303, so if that's what you want, check out Rebirth. Check it out anyway, for that matter, it's totally cool!
 
REBIRTH!! I almost hurt myself trying to remember that name :D

...my memory isn't so good - too many drugs in the 60's ...hey wait, I was born in the 70's! ...maybe it was my parents :)
