The basic idea, from what I have gathered from reading about it, is to take a brief, low note, and use an LFO to make a pitch envelope for it so that it hits up high but it ends in bass. This all happens within a small fraction of a second, of course...

Added some compression and EQ and I think it sounds better. Not usable yet, though:

I changed the lowpass filter from a 12dB to a 24 and now it sounds a lot cleaner. I think it sounds almost usable now:

what are you using?

Thanks. It isn't punchy enough for me, either. I'd need to fiddle with it some more before I would be willing to use it in a track.

I was surprised that I was able to get something that even sounded like a kick on my first time around, though. Somebody has to make the kicks somewhere along the line, but the process always seemed mysterious to me before I tried it myself.

Neat. Have you made any of your own kicks? If you have, could you upload some examples?

Neet little article on how to create them here:

I think the trick is that they all need to be just slightly different from one to the other. Kinda like an analog machine does anyway...

Nah, i have 3 gigs of traditinal/ethnic drum samples..don't use the fruity kick much, it can make soem VERY thumping sounds though, coulple that with the fruity bass boost, heh, leet

I once trid remaking the phat ass kick from Prodigy - Firestarter, i mad eit eventually heh

edit- ok so i made a very tiny demo of some of the kicks you can make with frutiy kicker, its nothing amazeing, msotly acidy sounding
