**Dissecting a track. Tips on making sounds?** Hey guys, i am in love with this track and want to figure out how to make similar lead bass and that background lead [![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex001/uploads/techtools/original/3X/e/8/e89b21537a0fdcccaba64a5dfecae5cf810777b4.jpeg "Terranova - Paris Is for Lovers - My Love (feat. Tomas Høffding)") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FBVImgzhuNY) I’ve battled for a long time but nothing comes out. I always get it too bass-y and never as warm. I am using massive same with the background lead. its so simple yet is catchy. stuff I have comes out annoying after 8 bars already 😞 ---

It’s a basic 303 sound, just play around with the envelope and resonance settings. To my ear it’s a two part bass with a sub layer underneath providing the bass. ---

Thanks! What about that light background lead - any tips on that? I can tell it has long release. I tried playing with attack and glide but still dont get it… ---
