@Alexander Morales I'm glad you enjoy the music! Thank you. As for the basslines, first I have to make sure that my bass is in tune with the sample, which if it isn't I can use a pitch shifter (like ableton's shifter) on either of the tracks and adjust it with the fine tune knob (though too much retuning can fuck up the audio sometimes with ableton's shifter). Then I just listen to the sample and try to come up with a rhythmic pattern for the bass as i would a drum instrument, and from there i pick out the notes based on the harmonys that sound best. i dont usually do any crazy melodic basslines, and i try to leave as much empty space cause bass can get overwhelming too. at the end of the day tho each sample is gonna be unique and so is every bassline, so theres a million different ways you can approach it this is just roughly how i am thinking about it. sometimes i dont put a bassline at all and let the kick carry the low end, or ill filter out the low end from the sample and boost it if i feel like the sample has good enough bass already

@Alexander Morales hell yeah, im glad i could be of help!

@Yúlany Music thank you 😊

@Deepak Khanna trying to seperate myself from my ego, knowing that emotions that i feel sometimes arent really who i am and being able to realize that and move on in those situations is something ive been trying to do. have you read Power of Now by Eckhart Tolle? he talks a lot of this

@Yúlany Music pretty much, a lot of your thinking is just noise caused by your ego that is constantly taking the past and the future into account. you have to be able to identify your ego and realize that thats not who you are, because while your ego is living in the past and future, you are living in the present, and everything that ever happened to you as well as everything that will happen to you is in the present. so especially when your emotions are getting in the way, you have to realize that they are simply reactions to your ego. Identify the ego, and just observe it, shift to the present, focus on your breath, and move on without resistance or judgement. That probably wasn't the best explanation, but I attached a pdf of the book I was talking about, the author is talking exactly of this in a very easy reading format. reading the intro and just a chapter or 2 will hopefully have a big impact

@Lex Christopherson im currently in that phase of smoking all day, it feels fine but i feel guilty too sometimes
