CTW Members LiquidEyes Posted June 20, 2004 CTW Members Share Posted June 20, 2004 QUOTE (Mr_Moo @ Jun 20 2004, 05:05) Who makes the kick drums then if "no fukker does" ? I rather think that there are enough kick drums 'out there' that nobody need make a new one from scratch (as in, literally generating one with a synth). Unless you really want to make something different from the norm. As for sample CDs: it takes a lot of processing to make an acoustic bass drum recording into something that sounds remotely like a 'house' kick drum. Likewise it takes a lot of effort to make a synthesised kick drum have any degree of 'oomph'. Personally I 'make' my kicks drums by layering together several others (off records and/or sample CDs) and filtering them appropriately. Usually I go for a mixture of natural and more synthetic kicks. Then I experiment with EQing and compression until it sits nicely in the mix.

CTW DJs Phil B Posted June 20, 2004 CTW DJs Share Posted June 20, 2004 i'm new to all this production malarky, but i feel that you should try to make a track/sound that you are happy with, hopefully it'll fit into some sort of style though, even if it doesn't you'll have learnt things and got a track that you like - i could be going about it all wrong though i've got quite a few bits of things done that are nothing like what i intended to do when i turned the pc on. in the quest to make a certain sound i find things that i like the sound of more through trial and error. i'd love to be able to think of a sound and make it but that's a long way off yet Quote www.djphilbenson.co.uk - updated 28/08/04 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CTW DJs Phil B Posted June 20, 2004 CTW DJs Share Posted June 20, 2004 i've found it's so easy to get sidetracked from what you set out to do because you find something you like the sound of and end up playing with that for ages. once you've done it though it's there for the future. i have a feeling i'm going to end up with lots of little bits of things and never get anything finished Quote www.djphilbenson.co.uk - updated 28/08/04 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
