Noob bass problem
Ok, so I've studied music all these years and played a bunch of instruments. Now I've moved on to electronic music, using Renoise.
My problem is the bass part, I never get any songs done. First of all I don't know how to compose a bassline, breaks and melodies are no problem but I just can't seem to find the proper sound and harmony for the bass.
Also, if I do record bass, it always seems to stand out from the song instead of complementing the drums and other samples.
Seems like kind of a stupid problem but I feel like I'm really stuck now...

why fix something that's not broken? just keep recording your bass guitar!

what seems to be the actual problem that you are trying to get at?
\((( "D )))/ Yay clouds! ☁ ☁ ☁ ☁ ☁
What do you mean stands out, do you mean off melody? The bass isn'tin harmony with the Breaks?? Explain please?
But if you mean that the bass frequencies are masking other frequencies, in other words, when the bass kicks in other sounds seem low and inaudible, then you should equalize your tracks, and watch out for other frequencies compensation!
Now if you mean that the sound of the bass lines you make are not melodic or harmonious with your melody and breaks, then try to use some other bass sounds, stick to the basic notes of the melody and from there mix up along the scale you are using!!!
I hope I explained enough.
Cheers .
