Smoking ..umm..something Please Help Me Make A Proper Trance Kick Drum

This is killing me. In the last couple of months ive changed over from producing hard house, hardcore. Now im producing trance and have got a couple of very good tracks nearly ready but my kick drums are just horrible and dont fit with that trance sound. Been layering kicks, equing them and giving them alot of compression but they just sound shite. If someone could give me a quick run through what they do to make kicks or know where i can get a good sample pack from id really appreciate it.

I know this question has probably been asked a hundred times.

Get yourself a 909 emulation like D16 Drumazon and produce awesome classic bassdrum sounds as heard in pretty much every Deepsky tune and Tiesto's Suburban Train.

Then run the output through to a tube amp simulator and finally depending on the kind of timbre you want, a variable state low pass filter and overload the input of the filter so that it saturates.

Then you are ready to fuckin' rock.

Hi

Why don't you try the Thrillseekers, on their forum they have drum samples to download. Nice and clean with a few kicks in there, I'm sure you've heard stuff like it before but it is a good pack none the less.

Im selling it so its been put away for a while. The power transformer went in her when I first got it so spent about 8-10 months searching for someone to fix it because I couldnt find a replacement transformer. So she's got this custom PSU which connects up to it to give it power. Its just an external box. Ive had all the pots replaced with new ones and she has blue leds instead of the usuall red, so she's like new. The only thing its missing is the accent knob. Which you wouldnt even notice.

The 909 has cost me an arm and a leg over the last few years.

so instead of selling it...why dont you use it to get that "kick"?

btw...you can use almost any kick sound and make it fit. you dont even have to layer a kick with another.
