when there is some unwanted stuff going on later in the kick, and if it's not a bassline, you could low pass filter it heavily, as the tail of the kick doesn't typically contain anything other than the ground tone.

Also, if your cleaned up sampled kick is too short (because you had to cut of off where a bassline began, for instance), you can make a selection of a part of the tail that loops nice, and copy paste it a couple of times. Then limit it flat, then apply your own amp envelope on it, to make it as long as you want it to be. Alternatively, use time stretching on the tail, maybe filter again afterwards.

Just some additional weaponry in your array


Yea that's actually a good idea.

If you do have some extra bassline going on. And your kick is too short. Maybe not time stretching your "looped" bass section. But pitch bend it down.

When you look at a kicks waveform the pitch progressivly ocilates lower and lower. By copying a looped section and then pitch bending it down to what it kinda looked liked before.

Good idea. I'll keep experimenting.

Cool. There must be a mathematical way to recreate the curve even better than a pencil tool. Instead of drawing it, what about plotting points along the original wave and somehow getting mathematical waveform regressions so you'd have a smooth curve? Then you've got something so raw that you'd be able to add the fx to make your own kick, rather than worry about removing the 'fx' on the old one with a pencil tool. Thanks for the writeup.

^^ there are some pretty expensive ways to get better aprox. Or if you got the tools you can do it yourself, but what I liked about the idea is that you could get something that's a bit more original than copied; ideas for sounds. Your gonna fx it to h@ll anyway

I'll try it soon and see...

Tnx!! But I think that using your own samples is more professional. :]

I think whatever sounds best, is best.

I don't care about being professional about it

absolutely. The only rule that applies to all music. It's good if it sounds good.

it would be alot easier to just cut out the part at the beginning, that you call “slap information" and merge it with a waveform you recreate with a waveform generator.

yes but would that maintain the original charactaristics of the sampled sound? It's way harder to get close by synthesis than drawing a new line over the old one.

That isn't the point. You missed it all together.

Who cares about being professional; if you READ the tutorial you would have seen that it was more for fun and learning.

Agreed, but I can see how it can be more rewarding to have "made" your own kick using synthesis.... However, once again, this was just a fun sound design/manipulation exercise.
