Does it sound ok to you?

I quite like techno tracks that dont have a bass, just a kick. Something you dont find as much these days

Do some of you not agree with that? Each to their own, just wondering how people feel about this

Sure I think it works great as long as you do it in such a way where the theres _something_ going on down there..... not really audible in the harmonic bass range but totally feelable through the speakers.

If it's just a plain kick I think I'd be a bit disappointed.

yeah i like tracks with no bass but the ones i tend to go for generally have some sub going on that creates bass harmonics.

delayed kicks often provide nice bass rhythms. i play with that technique alot at the mo

As long as there is something going on in the low end, then I like it.
Otherwise it`s just a waste of a good soundsystem, and kick drums don`t really amuse me alone.
Leave that to mills and his 909

Yeah - I agree - it needs something down below.

Doesn't nessecarily need to be a baseline as such, but sounds empty to me if there's nothing.

I am too, but when I do it while I am producing I sometimes feel like it`s as much a cliche as the hardhouse oompah oompah bassline.

I like a decent bassline, esp funky stuff that compliments the tonality.

loving when after a full mix with a full track i throw some kicky stuff.
it works great ,just piercing through mix getting ppl bit down with tension, but still keeps it up.
then back to subby . but well balanced kick and sub are a good kombination too

if it works,then it works..someone said

as clichéd, maybe, but infinately less gay.

i think that dropping the odd mostly percussive track into a set can make the basslines in the other tracks seem to jump out more, due to the contrast.

but a whole set of straight pounding with no funk would bore me.
