i've been producing tracks for about a year and a half now, and when i first started out....zomg it was bad. however, ive improved a bit, but there's something that has always escaped me: the groove between the drums and the bassline.
maybe i just have no rhythm, but it's gotten a little better. i just can't seem to get the bassline to mesh well with my track it also stands out to me as too rigid most of the time and it kinda pulls things down... now i can make a basic bassline but im talking about making a cool bassline that's almost the center of a track. the sound on that bass is also really well done, most of my stuff just sounds really thin compared to that round fat sound he's got going on. im wondering if thats just his hardware or really well placed post-processing...hmm.
For example, i completely adore the Total Departure bassline. i've tried to recreate something with the same driving feeling as this, but it just quite hasn't worked out yet.
Any tips would be greatly appreciated. i'm sorta at a wall here that i've been trying to get past
