Making deep sub basslines??

[NickSoundDT]

If you want to synthesize a sub yourself it's often better to not use sinewaves but LP filtered waves with some higher harmonics present.

Good call, this is absolutely correct. Sine waves don't respond well to filtering because they are, by definition, just a fundamental frequency and nothing else. Definitely use something else like a saw or pulse wave (or something even more harmonically complex, like a found sound) for this task.

I should have mentioned this in my first post.

Use some dynamics plugin to crank it up and make sure you cut off all unneccesary frequencies with a filter or EQ them out:)

just take a simple sinewave (in simpler for example) and play low notes, shape em (eq, effects, whatever)..that's an easy way.

sine waves are over rated...

I get my best results by using a harmonically rich waveform (like saw, or something, but best is moving and lots of noise) and then filterng that down quite drastically. It makes for a more full sub sound than just using a sinewave.

exactly...

Some people are getting real deep into tuning.

Id just learn to trust your ears. A lot of the time not having things perfect is a lot more sonically pleasing and maintains a certain charchter.
