Use the mixer. Every channel has it's own output. |

very good advice... another thing I do to get a good kick is to generate your own bass kick using a descending sine wave or triangle wave under a highpass filtered good quality high endy kick sample... that way you have more control than just EQ and compression... you actually have control where the landing of the kick takes place and exactly what freq range you want it to peirce through the track. I like having more control over my kicks than just using premade samples.
As far I see with the posts here, I don't think there is a definitive way of working with kicks in tracks... some kicks need to pound in different frequencies to really stand out... I don't think there is a one-set mixing solution, how the thread suggests. I use similar tactics for kicks but I end up doing something slightly different on each track. |

| This might sound like a stupid question, but are kicks tuned into the key note of the track? Because sometimes when I'm listening to the beginning of tracks, I can tell what note they're playing by listening to the start of the track (the kick / percussion) before the bass kicks in. :conf: |

| you can transpose the kick too make it sound alittle different but i dont think people get the kicks and bass in same note... |

as a matter of fact....the 'note' or pitch of the kick does matter........thats totally what sets a pro track apart from a amatuer track...an amatuer will just place sound randomly and expect that everything works....(it doesnt)...maybe rhythm-wise but the percussion will not work together to create a sort of 'emlody' that it needs to..
...like the dude said previously, you can tell at the start of a pro track before the kick comes in, what note it will be in.The same way you can magically predict the next notes in a pro-written melody. With progressions you only have a certain amount of choices to a chord change. I was taught a very knowledgable theory teacher that a human ear just can prrdict what notes come from what, >if you are 20 years old , even if you are not into music , you have still heard 20 years of music driving in the car or something..you unconciously learn chord changes> what works and what doesnt.......anyhow...im blabbing on and on but YES the pitch of a kick or any percussion DOES make a difference.......but good luck tuning them...better to just take time and go through lots of samples......later |
