Yeah yeah, i know this has been discussed before and yes i have read all the posts. I have layered beats, i have compressed beats, i have created them in soundforge, i have done everything...
But still i cant seem to be able to create kicks like for instance Gabriel & Dresden can as in As The Rush Comes or In My Memory (G&D Remix), or Perry O'Neill Wave force...
These are kicks which really give their tracks a unique face, u know what the track is by only hearing the kick, i like that.
Wtf am i doing wrong, i tried everythng but my kicks are all cheesy sounding. Why isnt there a software company which creates a kickdrum synth, and not a crappy one like Attack or DrumSyn.
Anyhow what am i doing wrong? |

| the most unique thing on kicks is what you layer on them. e.g. percussion etc. so mack them "pock" or "peng" ;) |

Who seys those drum kicks have to be synthetic? I know making heavy kicks are hard to do. Have you tried using a bass kick as a base to build from?
Pick up a sample CD with dance kicks and tweak it out to your liking. All the pros do it. Nobody will give you crap about it either. |

the bass (and pretty much everything else too) can do much to the kick... there is several times where i have fixed a nice heavy kick.. but then i change the bass and it doesn't sound as heavy anymore, so i have to EQ it and compress it and such to make it sound better.
a kick that sounds kinda week can turn out really nice with just the right bass added |
