Oh, I love you Yoozer.

Right now I'm having trouble creating nice sounding bass lines.

My favorite one is in this song http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F8d6JhOmcRE

The main sound kicks in at 0:37, which I assume is just a saw or square wave, then as distorted and compressed as possible, yeah?

The bass hits at 0:45. How did they get such a nice, distorted bass without it sounding terrible? Every time I try to use anything other than a pure sine wave for a bass line, it sounds all rumbly and bad.

I think all the other sounds in the song are easy enough to make.

Got any tips on that bass drum? Crookers have some hard bass drums that I'd like to emulate, and I don't want to just SAMPLE them, that's no fun!

I've got two more sounds for you Yoozer!

First, do you think the strings at the drop (1:15) of White Knight Two synthesized or sampled? If they're sampled, where can I get them?

Second, how do you get the main riff at 0:08 of this? I know that the song was made using stock Logic gear plus Camel Crusher. I've gotten fairly close using two square waves in Analog in Live plus Camel, but I can't really recreate those weird harmonics.
