Look dude, I can't tell whether you are legitimately asking, or trolling (in which case, do one)...

I am going to go with the former though, and offer some advice: do some leg work. I have seen a few threads started by you, they are all basically asking 'how do I sound pro', and the answer is 'time, hard work, practice'. There are enough people with knowledge on here, but a question like 'how do I get a good bass sound' is non-specific, with no real idea of what you are asking, and that is that type of question that will get you flamed, because it seems like you can't be bothered to do any research yourself, the kind of stuff we have all had to do/are doing.

There is no quick fix. Your tunes will sound rubbish for quite some time when you are just starting out, and you will probably wonder if you are ever going to get any better more than once. Keep going. Don't get something? Google, wikipedia and a million audio/music/production sites will have the answer. The only way you are going to get better is by educating yourself.
