Is anyone in these forums successful at making a kick thwack? When I say thwack, I mean can u make your kick sound like it is being sucked from hyperspace and thrown at ya face kinda thwack. I have heard these kicks on the likes of Markus Shultz- Amsterdam 08 cd. And I have heard it elsewhere, but I cannot successfully make this type of kick. I have tried layering, compressing, sidechain compressing. I have tried lots of stuff, is it because I am all software? I don't get it, I don't think I am horrible at producing or anything, I understand compression. Someone please explain to me how to make this kick, or show me better yet..... no gay , but I will love you for life!
SHOW ME THE THWACKING KICK :crazy:
please....
ps- maybe I am compressing wrong, if you think you know good compression settings, please explain, and yes I have used the tutorials.... still no thwack |

If by arpeggio you mean arpeggiated kick, then yes. |

First question:
Does the kick thwack more when you set your compressor to 'bypass'? |

No I haven't tried that one:haha:
I have tried high compression ratio's, I have tried different compressor's. Fab Filter's Pro C, and I tried my hardware compressor, Focusrite Compounder. And I do use good monitors, I have Event Sp8's
so its not my monitoring. I can make kick sound decent, I think:conf:
but I just can't get that feeling like the sucking feeling some of these dudes are getting. And I don't mean that in a perverted way:eyes: |

Ok, here are some examples for you to hear what I am talking about, hopefully the quality is good enough, I converted them to mp3.
Example 1 - http://www.box.net/shared/1ujlb8bggg
Example 2 - http://www.box.net/shared/fuqr164ws8
Example 3 - http://www.box.net/shared/x74okrkbos
Example 4 - http://www.box.net/shared/mx0ird1c0g
These are all from the same cd but, they are different kicks and to me they all have the sucking sound.
Now yes I know what sidechaining is and I know the effect it has, but I am talking specifically what the kick sounds like. Even when it is just say the kick and the hi-hats, you can hear it sounds so powerful from it being sucked, compressed or something. Please help me get this sound, I beg....
Also alot of what Armin Van Buuren plays sounds like this, I want it!:eyespop: |
