howto: kicks

[NewSc2]

I have used Drumazon to synthesize some based on 909 but I always get a "tik"(click,chick) with the attack of the kick. (i dont know the term but I think I want it more fat)

In Drumazon you can turn down the attack so the click isn't as present. You could also EQ it a bit to taste.

But, imo, you want that click. Otherwise, the kick would disappear and have no transients to bring it out. Concentrate on other elements of your track and then come back to see if the click is still bugging you. Drumazon is a quality plugin. Try filter+layering your kicks.

Sample the kick that has too much of a click, or bounce to audio, and cut away some of the start of the sample. Lowpass filter can also help some.

synthesize your kick with something more advanced..
not many things u can tweak in drumazon

For example? What vst? Or software?

Thnx

Lowpass the kick to remove the click.

Waldorf Attack plugin is one of the tightest drumsynths ive used. Highly recommended! Gotta spend some time, but worth it.

Some thoughts ?

@Daemonix
you could use any synth with a few oscillators to synthesis kicks.

or if your more comfortable with samples maybe you could try combining three kicks samples and selecting them based on particular characteristics.

ie

1)808 kick, low passed to keep the long sub bass part
2)909 kick, high passed to keep the click so it cuts thru the mix
3)either 909 or 808 kick or whatever really, cut the subs and the highs to keep the audible punch.
play around with the attack and decay settings and levels (not sure what DAW your using or how you handle samples)

you shouldnt really need to eq or compress toO severly after that if you play around with it.


all of this has been said better by people elsewhere on the forum i'm sure.
