DEADLY BASS SOUNDS
Deep Bass - A textured, synth bass tone. As the name implies, this Bass is deep! Similar to a Sub-Bass sound except with the grit and definition of an electric bass guitar. Perfect for those thick Dr. Dre / Westcoast style basslines.
Growl Bass - An original, thick bass tone. This sound originates from an electric bass guitar, then effected with heavy EQ and Compression. You end up with a deep, growling bass tone that would fit any track perfectly. Remember Havoc's beats on the Mobb Deep albums? This one is HOT!
Distortion Bass - Bass with a twist! A smooth synth bass tone with a light distortion effect applied. The end result is a unique bass sound that compliments almost any type of beat.
Mid Bass - A tight and accurate bass tone with a lower-middle frequency boost. If you're looking for bass sounds similar to those used by DJ Hi-Tek, Jay Dee, or Pete Rock, you'll love this. The lower-mid boost allows it to be very accurate in tone, yet still thick and deep in sound.
Flange Bass - Looking for something a little different? You've probably never heard bass like this! A low, wobbling synth bass that is truly unique. Use the deep notes to create an eerie vibe, or the mid-range for a moving club beat. The warbling feeling of the bass tone adds new character to your music.
Sub-Bass - A classic Sub-Bass sound you've been looking for. If you want trunks to rattle when your beats are pounding, you'll need this. A smooth, thick bass that sounds unbelievably huge. Whether you want to blow subwoofers by using the low notes like DJ Quik, or using higher octaves to get a Nottz type bassline, this tone is crazy!
Vinyl Bass - Have you ever wanted those filtered basslines like DJ Premier, RZA, Kanye West, and many other classic producers? With Vinyl Bass, you can replicate that exact sound. A deep, filtered bass tone with a subtle addition of vinyl noise (pops, hiss, and other dirtying effects). Lay a bassline with this sound under some hot samples and you're back in 1996.
Westcoast Bass - When you think of Westcoast style beats, you probably think of Dr. Dre, DJ Quik, Battlecat, Jellyroll, and Fred Wreck. If you want basslines like these guys, you'll love this tone. A trunk rattling synth bass with a buzzing resonance that sounds exactly like what the good Doctor used during the NWA era.

WHAT IS MULTI-SAMPLING?
Most sounds become quite unnatural when transposed far from their original pitch. The only way to maintain a natural sound is to take several samples of an instrument at different pitches, then use each sample over only a limited part of the keyboard. Ideally, you'd take a fresh sample every semitone, but that would eat up a lot of memory.
To conserve memory, all samples are recorded at the C and F keys across the keyboard range. If you split the samples across the keyboard evenly, all bass samples would be pitched only three semitones; an unnoticable amount.

SOUND PROCESSING & EDITING
Every Bass sample is individually recorded and specially treated using high quality compressors, equalizers, and other effect units to ensure the loudest and thickest bass tone possible.
Once recorded, the Bass tones are ran through an Ensoniq ASR-10 Sampling Keyboard. The Ensoniq ASR-10 is known to provide a thick, rich deep end that enhances Bass sounds. This sound quality cannot be reproduced using current workstations.
The Bass samples are then ran through a Compressor and Equalizer to shape and beef up the sound level. The samples are then edited on a PC using a softwear editor such as Steinberg Wavelab. The samples are tightly trimmed and the dead space that takes up memory is cut out.
Each one-shot bass sample is between seven to nine seconds in length. This length ensures the full tail and ambiences of each bass tone are captured without an unnatural cutoff point.
Once finished, the samples are saved as individual Wave Files (.Wav)
As you can see in the screen shots below, the bass sample with Compression and Equalization applied is much bigger (louder) than the one without. However, there is no unwanted distortion caused by signal peaking due to bad recordings.
