One Flowing Filthy Bassline Please Help ! [Ableton]

[Dooku]

Hey Ive been workin on ableton for about a year now and i need some help with my filthy bass making process. I'd Ussually create a new operator or massive for each wobble and then a whole new midi clip and just have a screen of tiny midi clips, but that doesnt seem to create the flow that pros have in there work, I figure i have to use sampler, but could someone give me some points on how to go about using abletons sampler effectivly ? Thanks ^_^

first id work on making the midi "musical" then id go around with the sounds design. too many dubstep producers just mashing atonal sounds

yes please make it musical..... who wants to listen to a bunch of weird noises?

I do. I actually have a hard time liking to melodical dubstep, rather have it monotone and repetetive. It is however an idea to have a groovy bassline down before going to deep into the sound design.

I tend to write everything first using a Piano/sampled Piano. Write the notes etc in MIDI to get the musicality to it, then I cut up the MIDI notes to indicate modulation etc. Not sure if that makes sense - but for instance if I want to put a 1/16th wobble in it I'd put a note every 1/16th to indicate that. Then I keep that Piano track and use it as a reference for my basslines. It's a weird way of working, but makes it easier when I'm making basses - I already know what I want, and I have it all set out so I don't stray from the idea and waste hours trying new things, in general if it works on a Piano type instrument it'll probably work over most different sounds.

If the musicality is there - then it should work over multiple patches. If you group/bus all the tracks you're using for the bassline and add a bit of EQ/compression it should help tie them all together a bit too.
