lift, obviously.

See what I mean..freakAngstrom wrote:I've made kicks in numerous ways, but recently I've been playing around with using Operator to provide a nice impulse/attack noise and then Corpus to provide the ringing body tones. The advantage here lies mainly in being able to adjust the harmonic content, which is quite hard to synthesize otherwise. I mean that odd way that the resonant part of a drum decay can detune into many complex harmonic related voices. This is a one-dial operation in Corpus.
Of course, after that I plop a Saturator and a mild compressor, the compressor is only occasionally used in order to bring out the initial punch (using a long attack)
don't listen to those sample-stealers they have to rely on freaks like you to provide the kicksAngstrom wrote:Thanks
I think
nothing against using pre-existing stuff. but this topic is about how to "make your kicks". not about how to "take some kicks and mix them up in a new way". both are valid and important. but the ones using existing kicks somehow have to get them. and there is the freaks purpose, doing it's tweaks all night long to actually create those samples.Angstrom wrote:Heh, If something is taken and used well, I think that's a good thing.
Outcome is all that matters.
Although if the outcome is weak uncreative guff, it's not good in that case.

So I loaded some noise into simpler and played around with a bandpass + filter envelopes and was surprised to hear some kickdrums come out of it (only works with a really high resonance). They don't sound that great, but I thought it was pretty cool.
ps: Thanks to the previous posters for the tips.
