The Bass Conundrum

[Tim V]

I need some help on how to create a certain type of bass sound, as in example https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gmYZV8vZAHk - after about 30 seconds, that full bodied, almost toneless weight under the kick.

I've tried everything I can think of....side chaining off another track with the same kick with a reverb on it, setting up toms on a loop, etc etc etc. I refuse to sample other people's basslines btw, I want to learn how to do this...

Any ideas anybody. It's driving me goddam nuts!!

Cheers

The sound after 30 seconds is the 808 kick drum with a long release to my ears. Its then compressed. Look on youtube there are loads of tutorials on how to compress kicks like this (just type in the genre)

I've tried similar stuff with Big Kick kick synth, you can extend the release and hold to get that effect, but never tried to compress it after that...thx!
