Lowstring,
As you have mixed this track, I'll get to listening and writing my thoughts down sometime tomorrow, you no doubt noticed that there are two different basslines. The treatment I used for this first one was an ever so slightly modified preset on D16 Audiogroup's Devastor, DNB sub one. Add in some interesting shelving EQ treatments and tight sidechain compression and that bass sound is itself. The second sound is actually not all that different in terms of treatment, still has Devastor on it. However, I straight up used a preset because it just sounded right, the Simple Clipper preset. Man, it just worked.
But as I said in the original post, the reason for all the sub bass was so that it could be heavily distorted and still retain all that bottom end. Plus I love this kind of heavy distortion on bass.
