Hello,

I try to sample some good kicks for me work. 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)
I have use compression on a single layered kick with no luck.. (maybe wrong compression)

Any tips?

PS: I can work on a mac that has drumazon,guru,nepheton apart from my logic.

thnx
Tasos

could u filter or eq it? play around with the pitch/tune or decay.

not to familiar with drumazon though so im not sure.

sounds like your using to much compression. if it sounds like a 'tick' without compression find another kick. it's a lot easier and the results will be better.

"find another" you mean a sample? or with drumazon?
I thought that it is better to use 909-808 emulation to make the sound you like.

the filter/eq did some work. how about compression? (I read something about multi layered with hard comp. but I dont know match)

thnx a lot

(the good use of English is not my thing sorry)

forget the compression for a while (unless you know how to use it)

read sk's kickdrum thread, loads of good info on it.

theres other good kick drum threads, if you use the search

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

use a parametric filter on your high end.
