I have a skype, but have only used it a couple times over the past several years. Is this a text based chat group or a video/voice based group?

Till now, the chat group it's just text based man.

Particularly this ''bass-house'' isn't my vibe but as a garage-head I really want to understand this bass sound, I'm pretty sure that is not so complex, but my attempts don't sound clear like this one, to me this bass sounds like some square waves with some distortion in an envelope, and of course compression and a 4x4 sidechain, some ideas my friends?

Ps* I have only a serum, sylenth1 and massive copy but should be enough.

Actually, it could be made with FM. I'd recommend experimenting with a combination of a high sine wave with the volume all the way down FMing a sine wave with an envelop increasing the FM amount from zero on each hit. Then distortion and processing to taste.

Thanks for your attention man, so... I'd thought about FM synthesis and I've tried modulating a bit in serum a few days ago,
FMing/modulating two sine waves, sounds ok but just a standard garage bass, far way from the track that I've mentioned.
I tried also FMing square waves, sounds a little more close but easily you get a dirty/distorted aspect, even with a LP filter envelope,
so still a bit icognito. 
The FM square waves attempt without post FX: http://vocaroo.com/i/s1Mq0HUQjEsJ

If you have massive, try using the square wavetables pitched down with some phase modulation (automate it and tweak as it'll get really sensitive - also play with the octave of the phase) - route it into a bandpass filter and a double notch filter and play with the settings - then route it to some tube distortion and I think it should be a bit similar. I also like to add the same LFO on the bandpass to the amp for a cleaner sound.

- Gonna attempt to recreate and will post back with results

Yeah Luke thank you, was pretty much the phase automation you mentioned,
I added a second osc with the same config to get more presence, this bass also needs a LP filter,
After that I drew it as a lfo sine curve, the bass sounds more authentic, you did the remake? check my result after the bleeps:

OpenMPT might work for you... it's a little more than just a VST harness, but it's free, open source, very lightweight, and runs on dang near anything.

Thanks for suggest man, but I found another host in the same way of SAVIHost, the Minihost, obsolete af (2005) but worked for me 

There's a renowned Brazilian producer and tutor that made a challenge of 30 songs in a month, and some of his tips after he finished was:

* Create a basic template of the things that you use most, sends of reverb, delay, a sidechain channel etc.
* Don't limite yourself of create timbres from scratch, you can use presets, tweak them a bit.
* Midi Samples you can easily find in the internet (Bass, leads) and is very useful for a quick inspiration
* Preferably disconnect yourself from internet, forget to check email, notifications, etc, you may be surprised with two hours of your focused work.
* When you're producing the track, loop your arrangement to 16-32 beats, to mentalize some elements and variations that can appear in the next 16-32 beats
* The same happens to mixing, loop your arrangement to 16-32 beats and you will preview your track very fast, after some of this loops you'll start find unwanted frequencies.
* Mute some channels when you're listening your arragement, maybe you can find some parts messing your music, (remember in general music, less is more) also lack or excess of some frequencies in the individual channel tracks.

This is not a bad idea, but it is really not a good one either. If you look at the Pink Noise spectrum he showed. it's boosted on bass. Which is dangerous, first because it could break your ears, then second because it will break your gear. Low frequencies have more power than mid/high.

For example, if a track has too much low, you'll hear perfectly, but if it has too much high, you probably won't notice it or it will be hard.

I'm not sure if the guy of the tutorial upload his pink noise, I'm using a random pink noise that I found in the internet and looking in any Eq spectrum actually the frequencies are pretty flat, but good that you said and the future views of this topic can check the frequencies of their pink noise in some EQ before start leveling their track channels.
If anyone is interesting I can upload my pink noise file.

You're over thinking a little to much man, especially if you're getting anxious before you produce. No need to force this, because it's going to take some time.

typically i have no idea what it is i want to do with a project, but i always start by making drums.

It also took me a solid 5 years to actually figure out wtf i was wanting to do? i eventually found my groove when i slowed down my music so that i could play the key board to it the bpm that is typical is actually double the speed i make my songs in. The feeling and the clarity is just there for me.

I also would have trouble piecing my songs together, even though i had good individual ideas.

you might have to analyze yourself a little more, and be introspective to actually get you to perform the art you want to do. gather information from any where and every where, and start analyzing and applying to see what works for you. over time, you'll get it easier and easier. but the problems become a little more complex at that point.

Nice to read your overview man for real, I'll try get a new perspective in produce my stuff, because I'm serious about the anxiety part and I know that it all came with the pile of frustrations of not being able to put it out lots of ideas and/or not finish them through the years.

The first records of Arca is brilliant
