First you need to load up LFO Tool on your kick. The first thing I do whilst playing the kick is use the nodes to find and let through the punchy part (and only the punchy part) of the kick. Then leave that node there as this ensures anything you do after it will not affect the punch of your kickKick Punch.png1515837 209 KB
We've all heard that perfect kick drum sound - the one with just the right amount of punch, depth, sub rattle, and click, which fits snuggly in a track. In a new tutorial for DJ Tech Tools, Ableton Certified Trainer Lenny Kiser demonstrates how to get that perfect sound through layering samples, sound with design with EQ and compression, a sub layer with Operator, and more. Watch below:
Everything about production seems difficult. I've been doing it on and off for a while now, but since I bought my MacBook I've had the power to do stuff I could only dream of with my aged Dell. I'm sure everyone has been there, but I have really good ideas but struggle to articulate them because my technical ability is relatively poor. One of the things I find hardest, which most people would probably assume easiest, is putting a solid kick into my tracks. I know about equalization and compression; that the kick should be compressed and sit around 80-120hz? I use Apple Graphic EQ to equalize out the other frequencies and I just get left with a hardly audible thud in the background. What am I doing wrong? Are samples or syntheses the way forward? Can hardware only really deliver a strong kick? My kicks either dominate the track or just sound rubbish.
try starting with one of the tracks you already have where the kick "dominates" and try just lowering the amount of compression, over-all level, maybe add a soft reverb (?) a LITTLE bit of eq shaping etc...
I totally had this exact same problem. My kicks sounded okay, and I tried everything I read to try and get my kicks to sounds good, but for some reason, I could not get the damn things to sound THAT good.
At this point, we already had a rack of samples, but we had never bought any, out of doubt that they would sound any better than what we already had. We were both VERY pleasantly surprised by the quality of them however. Whereas we use to effect our kick drum very heavily to get the sounding 'right', these samples needed little help, and the compression and effects we used were more to 'tweak' the sound rather than 'fix' it.
The annual Battle of the Belmont Bands and Family Fun Festival kicked off the semester in fine style Saturday evening as thousands of students, faculty, staff and alumni came out to The Lawn to enjoy an array of vendors, food, games and music.
A well-crafted kick drum can invoke aural, physical, and even emotional sensations. A great kick drum allows us for a brief moment to experience the transmundane, but conversely, a bad kick drum can make your track completely fall apart. The stakes are pretty high, so it makes sense to learn about what makes a kick tick.
Physical kick drums have two drumheads, which doubles the vibrating mass of the instrument, and allows it to sustain longer. The kick drum is also the largest drum in a kit, meaning that it creates lower frequencies than the others.
Sound is all about movement, and nowhere is this more apparent than the kick drum. The often quick drop in pitch and volume is what gives the kick its punchy sound and feel, and if we edit the kick, we can change that feeling.
Here, a fade is applied to the start of the sound, and you can see that rather than starting suddenly and loudly, the amplitude ramps up. This has the effect of dulling the transient (the loud and fast burst at the start of the sound), making this once punchy kick more of a soft thud.
Dedicated dynamics and transient processing plugins give you a great deal of control over the impact of your kicks. For instance, the free Flux BitterSweet v3 plugin offers a very simple approach to this, giving you a single knob that can be used to enhance or dull the attack stage of an audio signal.
The first audio clip is the unprocessed kick drum track. The second applies the BitterSweet transient control set to 100%, making the kick punchier. The third features the transient control set to -100%, softening the kick sound.
The drum kit as we know it has been around in its current form since the early part of last century to accompany jazz bands and other ensembles. Arguably most important feature of this is the kick drum (or bass drum to some). Like a large tom it sits on the floor but is instead triggered with a pedal, underpinning the rhythm and outlining the downbeat.
One of the most common questions that crops up is how to tune kicks. Having the right frequencies in your kick and getting the right sweep from low to high is going to make it stand out and nicely fill out your bottom end without engulfing the mix.
Keeping your kicks synthetic allows a surgical level of flexibility with tuning and enveloping. Increasing the length of our decay stage will increase the amount of tone perceived and bass that seeps through. Enable the pitch envelope and drop the sustain down to -48 semitones for an even deeper kick. Modulation amounts of between 50-70% will give you the necessary energy at the transient of a kick with shorter decay times.
Create a new MIDI clip and program a C-2 note on each quarter beat. This will play the first kick in our Drum Rack (sm101_ck_kick_01). Next, select the Drum Rack and hit cmd + G to add it to an Instrument Rack. Now we can see our Drum Rack nested in the Instrument Rack, add the Pitch plugin (found in MIDI Effects).
Perfect Kick is a multiplayer soccer game where you can face off against players from all over the world in exciting penalty kick-offs, where luck and skill are equally important components of success.
Players take turns during the penalty kicks. First you shoot, and then the other player uses their turn to guess which way your shoot will go, and try to stop it. Then you switch roles. The controls are basically the same whether you're playing as the shooter or the goalie, although it might take a little longer to get the hang of stopping the shots.
Perfect Kick is a fun, competitive multiplayer soccer game. The game doesn't bother with storylines or complex games, and instead drops you right in the middle of one of the most exciting parts of playoff games: penalty kicks.
Easy. Regardless of their origins, all kicks break down into three sonic elements: low, mid and top. Grab a few kick samples, put them up in your DAW, insert a graphic equaliser and experiment with cutting and boosting frequencies using a narrow Q (making a thin, pointy spike).
Step 4: You should almost always send your kick drum sound through a compressor. This automatically adjusts volume and is of particular help with acoustic drums performed by a live player, where the volumes will vary somewhat. Adjusting the compression parameters while listening to the kick in the context of the mix is a good way to get it sitting correctly.
As for the sidechain signal. I personally prefer to use a multi-band solution for this in the form of Shaperbox Volume Shaper. This way I can have my sub bass sidechain follow the exact opposite curve of the tail of the kick, and make it shorter or longer when needed. At the same time, I can still shape the sidechaining on the rest of the bass signal to my liking. This way I have maximum control over the subs. While still being able to make a creative decisions on the pumping sidechain sound on the rest of the signal.
At this point the Oscilloscope can give you a good view of both the kick and bass signals independently, as well as combined. So you can see what happens when the sounds are playing together. Are they still overlapping? And do you see something happening at the point they overlap, like an increase or decrease in volume? You can easily tweak a few things! An increase in volume means the signals of the kick and bass at that point are in phase and are adding up. You can easily shorter the tail of the kick or increase the shape of the sidechain signal on the sub. Is the volume decreasing (too much); this means you have room to fill up some more sound. Make the tail of the kick longer, shorten the sidechain signal on the bass until you get a uniform result.
Watch out though; a decrease in volume at the point where your kick and bass overlap, could mean they are out of phase, and the signals are cancelling out. One easy way to easily check this is to flip to polarity on one of the signals. Or you can check it visually in the oscilloscope.
After all of this; simply by using the spectrum analyzer you can see exactly how and where the root note of your kick is, and how loud it is. The same thing goes for your sub bass. This way you can easily match the overall loudness of your kick and bass sub content, even visually. Simply by increasing or decreasing the volume of your kick and/or, bass (or dedicated sub bass). Or use an EQ to tweak some things. I had already matched the overall loudness on the low-end on the example above and they matched up pretty nicely.
So now we can process the low-end on the kick and the sub together for some extra glue and loudness. This is also the stage where you can decide to add some saturation to create some new harmonic content that glues the sound. Or to make certain low-end frequencies more audible in higher areas of the frequency spectrum, if needed.
