@tone-def
im curious what kind of style you got on your mind
with the darker side of music
any influences

once i got close to a villalobos kick with the following method
a 808 send to a return track with a resonator with a low dry wet percentage
the resonator set to a minor chord

there is a 808 kick in ableton for operator
why dont you study that one as a start point

also..the forum seems quiterer but the topics / people who wants to help is getting better and better
