Deep kick
Re: Deep kick
First, keep in mind that that song was mastered, maybe initially their kick didn't sound so "deep".
My tip is: layer, layer, layer, compress to gell, Eq to taste....ah, and mono it! then apply layers of mid-hi cymbals,toms,snares to give impact and color, then compress, Eq....and send the song to a mastering engineer
Cheers
Edit: or use Vengeance kick and lay some kickass bangers in notime, that will lay all the gals at your foot and make your friends green with envy, those who know , know what i mean...
Ah, and welcome to this forum !

Re: Deep kick
I would say EQ and Compression are your best mates in this matter. And a solid 808 sample to begin with.

Re: Deep kick
Really punchy kick drums are a combination of layering, compression, equalization, tuning, and getting everything else out of the way (as much as possible).
See this if you aren't doing this already. Search around the internet and get as many high quality kick samples as you can find as trash in=trash out. Find some good stuff to start with.

Re: Deep kick
I've got another question. When I drop a kick audio sample in drum rack it sounds worse. How can i load sounds in drum rack without lost quality?
Re: Deep kick
...buy Metrum. I've never had to work for the right kick since...

Re: Deep kick
Yes, buy Vengeance and sound like everybody else
Re: Deep kick
I've already had vengeance libraries. When i drop a audio sample into a midi channel i listen that worse. Why?
Re: Deep kick
because the default simpler plays samples quietly. adjust the device volume or velocity sensitivity.
Re: Deep kick
You can use Corpus on the kick, to give it that deeper sound.
but a lot of it is layering and layering as others have mentioned. Then Compressor and EQ as others have mentioned. (not to sound like a broken record)

Re: Deep kick
Watch out for the amp envelope on simpler too, with the default settings it might not be playing the full sound.oddstep wrote:because the default simpler plays samples quietly. adjust the device volume or velocity sensitivity.
Re: Deep kick
You can also adjust the settings of drum rack simpler to your preference and save in defaults folder. Time saver.
