I've been struggling with bass for a while now.. I just want to make some smooth low running bass lines... I have so many sub bass,808 and kicks samples that I use in pcmsynth but I don't know how to eq them to sound good.. I have 10in subs in my car and it never sounds right... I'm close but not enough... its hard to figure out because caustic is different then other days like FL studios, I can't follow the tutorial vids on YouTube about bass and how to eq..

808s

You can't really equalize bass frequencies accurately. Even if it's possible, natural sounds good already.
My advice is that you should use high pass filtering to cut the sub bass of the other instruments so your sub will blast through.
You can find it in the multi-filter effect.
Hey! So I saw your post and listened to the first sample tune. Then I opened your test file. As to exactly what I did differently....for starters I noticed the sample track's sub would literally never stop. It was that continuous trap style 808 from one kik to the next. To do that I swapped your 808 sample mode to "note on/off" and stretched the notes out so there were no spaces between kiks. I swapped to a true lowpass filter on the sampler so I could free up an effect alot.I changed your compression settings to what I use for when I want my 808 to really sub the fuk out. Then I added a Limiter in the extra spot and you can see the settings I used on that. All these changes are in the Test2 caustic file
