heres the ones i got left...the rest lost in a cpu crash.

about my processing..

i used a few plugins. i use the nomad factory blue tubes bundle and sonalksis compressor. i also like to use all kjearhus audio plugs.

i cannot go into detail, there is not set way to work with em, all kicks are different and special. maybe its my soundcard that gives it a nice, thick sound? i have a RME Fireface 800

Oh, nice Sirocco! I'll mirror this when I get home if you don't mind - maybe we can turn this into a sticky so this sample pack is easily accessible.

Let me ask you, what do you use as sources for your kicks? Do you use pre-processed, sampled kicks or unprocessed 808/909-type kicks?

Thanks!
Sirocco
i use 3 different types of sources

1)Randon kicks i find online
2)Kicks i create with drum machines
3)Old kicks i created

its not about what you use, you need to learn how to make a syngergy between all the kicks and expand there pro, eliinate there cons.

For the click you are talking about...i will try and explain in a different way, so maybe you can understand. It's just a trick that adds presence to the kick so it can shine through any mix...

If you are editting a kickdrum (.wav) in an editor, like Wavelab or something, there is an option called 'snap to zero crossing' or something like that...all editting programs have it. What this means is, if you cut part of the .wav out it will sort of 'round it off' to the nearest spot where the .wav goes to 0 db. It does this because if a sound ever starts at a point in time where it is not 0 db it makes a sort of click.......SO what you are doing with this trick is to make this 'click' on purpose...

What you want to do is just turn OFF the 'snap to zero crossing' and cut your .wav at a point where the wav is at its highest db.you will hear the click.play around with where you cut it...the higher db the more noticeable the click...etc.


This is great info and I think this is what you're trying to do, derivitive (not sure, I've never built my own kick entirely from scratch); if you want to know more about it, read the logic pro 7 basic guide by martin sitter. He explains it well with diagrams.

Guys here is an excellent kick tutorial by Erez from Infected Mushroom which a sample kick included.

that erez tutorial was hosted elswhere and it actually had little boxouts explaining stuff. that one is a little unclear but thats approximately how i build my kicks.

i learnt from a spinwarp tutorial which explained how to synthesize basic drum sounds - they all sound like 909 type sounds. synthetic snare hits and hats.

Here's the mirror, by the way - I don't foresee it to go down any time soon. Moderators, feel free to "sticky" it.
