Anybody have any good tips for getting good Bass Samples, I download Bass Samples and they're bassy as hell in my PC, but after I import with MESA, they sound more Trebly. I can't just get a solid low-Bass on my S2000. Anybody have any tips?

Akais r generally a lot more trebly and less bassy anyway I`m afraid - they`re great 4 beats but r found wanting in the bass dept sometimes. Anyway, have u tried just adding more bass at the desk and removing the tops?

One of the secrets of good equalising and mixing is not to turn up the volume of the channel or frequency you need, but to turn down the others...
Anyway, i've no problems with the bass on my Akai. It's possible the Akai samplers give high tones some extra power, but see it as an advantage: It makes your music sounding clear and groovy without any equalising or enhancing! All you need to do is give the parts in multimode an appropriate volume level.

I like to have a bass sound with the top freq. cut, then use a seperate sound or click triggered at the same time, so in effect you've got 2 instruments that sound like one

You can crank up the bass really well on Akais using filters, esp those on the extra filter board. And a lot of early-90s sub-bass sounds, incl for d&b, were originally done with Akai sinewaves! Also, I know a famous remixer from a few years ago who did whole mixes, quite famous floor thumpers, ALL inside the Akai (even using EB16 for fx!) - he hardly ever used separate outs to the mixing desk at all (only when he wanted serious compression on a sound)!

Do not underestimate the power of the Akai!
