HOW TO MAKE THIS BASS LINE - Lupe Fiasco

[kqdavis]

Hey FP, I want to know how to make the bassline in this song.

This seems to be pretty common in rap music today.

By the way, I'm using logic, absynth, and battery

It's characteristic of Dahi's productions. I would like to have more informations about it too... All I know is that he uses Omnisphere for his basslines... The good with this software is that you can layer your synths to make the sound bigger...

Sounds like a classic moog bass to be honest, the high end is rolled off (lowpass filter).
One of the oscillators is pitched up an octave for that fat analog sound. Oscillators are detuned or chorus applied to achieve the stereo effect.
Don't forget to use glide/portamento for slides.
