This question has been on my mind for a while, does anyone know a tip on how to make them? I don't know If i can share my tracks with you guys on this post, I want to give you some examples of tracks which baselines I would love to recreate, I already learn the plugins and how to use them and waveform but it still ticks me off. I am mostly looking for Abora Recording's style of basslines. I don't like the other trance record label styles..... I searched every video learning but still can't comprehend them what is wrong with me? I have been battling with this for 3 years always do good on one project in the next it get's worse and then it gets better its like an up an down kind of thing.

i wouldnt think of it in terms of multiple basslines over lapping. just think about filling out the frequency spectrum. you dont want to have too much going on or it will just be mud and destroy your headroom. it might sound like "overlapping basslines", but it's really more of a simple bassline, and then midrange elements.

That's a very complex topic and in fact the hardest part. There are many approaches possible.

Following Adam Ellis, I would pick a number of different sequences of 16th, often with a swing. Then it's important to equalize each and every one so they create a coherent whole and still maintain low end. Also the bassline is low-passed lower than it sounds, use saurator or transient shaper to make it cut through the mix still.

In this track (by best so far, I think), there is at least additive sub, two low interchanging basses on offbeat, classic trance triplets, FM bass with phaser and acid riff in later parts.

The most important thing: don't lose transients or the bassline will become a wall of mud. Discovered it only recently

Also just found this tutorial - quick and pretty awesome. The guy does not talk, but does the job smoothly

Would never use chorus on a bassline, but apparently this works.

You achieve the best results with three layered basslines (sub, mid, high). Learn from the best: Protoculture tutorial..

Thank you guys for helping me on this! I apologize for the late reply! And I kept on posting the same subject over and over and don't reply the next day! I really appreciate you guys for helping me!

I think I know my problem is in making music I have fear that I would fail and my music would sound bad and I have another problem that I want it to be perfect and rushing a lot in some sense...I Don't know and my sound design skills are not the best but I try to learn though.
