Make Your Own Kick Drums - Punchy and Deep Kicks

Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль

Building a kick from the ground up gives you so much more control over the tone and punch, it's also easier than you might think!
I go into lots of detail in this video but the basic principle takes only a few minutes to learn.

You can follow along on any synthesiser which allows editing, but I am using Xfer Serum to make kick drums.
Headphones: Beyerdynamic DT 1990 Pro (I exclusively use beyerdynamic and recommend the whole DT Pro Range)

    Hi, here I am facing a problem when I am making a beat with this settings. When I am placing the kick in busy beats it changes it's sound on every hit (maybe because of the decay sounds). But I want longer decay and same hard kicks. What can I do to to solve this problem?

    Surprisingly good video, well done. Always good to split low and high part of the kickdrum. Eq and compression is key. Hz on when the decay starts is also key. Usually above 50 is good. cut very low freq under 20 or a bit more to prevent muddiness . And watch out for phase cancellation when messing with low ends.
