808 Bass Drums and Impulse

Post by HeavyBeats » Mon Jan 29, 2007 10:51 am

why impulse cut the bass in a 808 bass drum the kick is sounding like a click clack? Is there any possibility to fix this?

impulse is known for doing this, on most kix..if you absolutely must use impulse..take
the kick, drag it into arr. wiev and ad a little silence in front of the kick..

I´ve been experiencing similar problems, and I think it´s a major flaw in Impulse - on the default settings, a sample should just be played back "as-is"

I´ve had some success cutting out the click by slightly fiddling with the start and decay parameters, but it changes the sample just a bit...

ARG! Ableton needs to fix this ASAP, not in the next version - they should release a patch to fix this.

Or load it in to the simpler and change the start point of the sample.

I recommend using simplers.
Here's a link to a patch of a rack of simplers that emulate an Impulse.
Apart from the time stretch and choke options, its all there.
And way more flexible because you can add slots, layer sounds and change the keymapping.
