hi
Ive heard this technique for the bass in a few records.
Its kinda hard to explain.
Its not just straight bass notes playing on top of the kick.

The bass note falls at the same time as the kick, but kinda prolongs after the kick has been hit... but to the lay person its sounds like one sound....it kinda is one sound, but its a bass drum and bass note kinda blended into one....

Its very precise programming, check out in da club, in the intro, when theres no riff or chords playing, and the kick is playing unlayered, you hear this kick/bass hybrid.....you know its there because the previous naked kick sounds diff....this effect im talking about is diff to the normal way of playing bass notes over the kick.... as in most of in da club....

am i making sense?

im familiar with layering a sine wave with a kick....
maybe it would be jsut this, with tuning and filter envelope....

the effect im talking about..... is when ive heard it....not usually for harmonic or melodious effect...its kinda just a rhythmic cool bass sound effect, which gives the drums programming so much more life.....

what things are at play here?
- maybe some kind of gate/sidechaing

i basicallly dont know how the effect is achived...but its probaly achieved a number of ways.....

im sure ive heard netptunes tracks use this too.....

thanks for any input.....
