I'm going to ask a really dumb question. Is there a name for the technique of matching a bass note or bass line with a kick drum in a steady rhythm, where the impact of that bass note has a nice little punch from the kick happening at the same time? I hear it in songs all the time, can't think of an example at the moment.
- you mean an 808 bass tone/kick?
or do you mean sidechaining where everything drops for the kick?
bit confused what you mean. if laying bass and kick on top offadein11 - each other one needs most of it's bottom end removed (in most instances).fadein11
- I'll see if I can find an example. Basically I mean where all bass notes are aligned and only as long as that kick hit. It's this sound I hear a lot where themg33
- bassline has a little extra emphasis because the notes are all aligned with the kick drum pattern. At least that's how it sounds to me.mg33
- think I know what you mean. Drum & Bass type things, sub-bassline underneath kick pattern?fadein11
- Yeah, that might be correct. I'll do my best to find an example.mg33
- Layering, or Expanding?keewee
- accent? like the bass would accent the kick, or vice versa?futurefood
- I think you mean you write the bass line melody rhythm to match the kick drum. Its a good technique, glues the track/music.shapesalad

- makes things too tight for me, bassline should groove around the kickfadein11
