Lets say I have the bassline for a song, so I can sound out the bassline with my lefthand and chord with my right. How would I then go about making the bassline sound "fuller/richer" without changing the tone or sound of the song?? :?

Do you use your sustain pedal? With proper technique that can help. I usually use a layerd piano/strings or ep/strings. I also transpose down 12 or if you know how to lower the octave of your sounds this will help as well.

Yeah I do use the sustain pedal, but at times I feel that with just a single note its sounds 1 dimensional for lack of a better term, I'll try the octave thing though....
preciate the response
And yeah I guess I should have mentioned this before, I kinda only play piano, no facy keyboard to do any layering or other stuff :cry:

I guess u mean bass chords or left hand chords...Well what I usually do is instead of just playing the single note, depending on the type of song I would play the octave, arpeggio the notes with fifths or play the bass note with a forth, fifth or seventh...for example while playing Cmajor chords, i would play C-G/C-E-G

I normally play my left hand notes in octives and with a fourth. in other words if my note is Bb then I play that in octaves and highlight that with an Eb in the middle. try it with the sustain petal and it should help out a lot
Be blessed or else!
