You'll probably find that when you apply compression to the clipping bassline it no longer sounds as rough as it did because the clipping itself adds edge to the overall sound....
Try using some distortion in combination with a compressor and maybe a tube simulator... Compression's one of those things that's best learned through practice ;) Good luck!

With most things you don't really have to understand, just twist some knobs and you hear what it does. Compression on the other hand isn't one of those effects. I guess I'll finally have to divein some online tutorials and start "practicing" on that bassline to see if I can get it to still sound the same, but without the clipping. thanx for all the info guys, and btw, Fruity does support plugins, so I'll be able to but the compressor plugin on the bass alone ------------------------ On 19 Dec 2001, at 8:14, Brian J.
