It's really easy and you'll probably notch it -way- too much to start out with... But you'll hear exactly what I'm talking about when you start tweaking... First it'll sound like there's a gaping whole in your bassline... As you drop that Q down you'll hear it slowly start to fill in... More and more until the two nest right next to each other... It's such a good feeling... =)
Let's see... Other suggestions:
I like my Strings like I like my girls... Flat? - If you're going to use long flowey pads or strings... Make sure you add a little LFO to the filter on top of them. Dry strings make baby jesus cry. Even the slightest LFO will give them a little movement, adding to your enviroment.
I gotta jump, jive and wail! - This a long standing argument: To quantize or not to quantize. Personally, I quantize with a 5-20% swing depending on the element I'm working with. Swing can help give your track some ass to shake. Straight (Over) Quantizing tends to make your track -too- structured, thus sounding fake and lifeless. Any sequencer worth it's weight in salt should allow you to quantize with swing.
