Working on a track, using a few loops and my own bass line,. I want to get that Stardust - music sounds better kind of sound to it. Any ideas?

Side chain compression

YOO WANT TOO SET ZEE COMPRESSORRR TO ZEE MAXIMUM SUCKING SETTEEENG

yup. side chain compression. in fact that is the entire basis of the french house sound. i would argue that you don't even need any instruments. just a bass drum side chaining white noise and there you go.

you dont need sidechain

and i think its how you roll the r's

most of those 90s french house loops used a little bit of sample/bit reduction. def. try a compressor as everyone recommends (i prefer compressorII), BUT put the "redux" effect somewhere (before or after) as well ... you might want to try a little bit of the "soft" redux option w/ a little bit of bit reduction (12bit) ... (be careful not to overdrive the bit redux, it will clip!)

you need some of these to get a french sound.....

that might give you a good french sound too
