Kicks to sample
Hey,
Me again with my kicks. Looking for techno tracks to sample the kick from.
Suggestions?

Yeah it was the smoothest route when you didn't nail the distortion and compression I reckon.

Sampling other peoples tracks will not help you learn anything.baswillems wrote:Indeed, I may sound like a douche but it doesn't work. So please help
Re: Kicks to sample
he's in for a can of pain !
I would make one especially for him, limited edition, sign it, paint it shiny pink,
put some hello kitty stickers on it,
and sell it for 450€ and you can still get yourself a blofeld !

Sampling seems to have worked out ok for hiphop.Lost to the Void wrote:Sampling other peoples tracks will not help you learn anything.baswillems wrote:Indeed, I may sound like a douche but it doesn't work. So please help
You mean we have to be learned now to make music?
Maybe you think sampling won't teach you anything about zero crossings, crate digging, loop xfades, pitch and key, noise reduction, bitrates, waveforms, single cycle based synthesis, envelopes, layers, eq, timestretching and warping, normalization, transients and anticlick envelopes, air, dirt, compression, and so on.
Re: Kicks to sample
Practise makes perfect Bas! I know the pain that things don't sound like you want them to, but you have to keep trying and trying. There are several threads on the forum that will help you get there
Don't try for perfect, it's never enough

those genres are about different things. sound quality in hihop is not so important, there's emphasis on expression, lyrics etc. beat can be shit and hihop still good.
in techno sound quality matters more, because of the groove and mooving loops have to be smooth (with some exceptions). beat cannot be shit, current direction of club oriented electronic music focuses more and more on quality and production, whole tracks are improving, frequency spectrum is getting wider, new tools arising. so yes, learning new techniques of creating sound is essential. and the kickdrum is the first basic and fundamental at the same time. it's the first thing you need to learn and till you die [in methaporical sense, as a producer] you will be working on it. otherwise, don't bother.
p.s.
fuck can of pain, make yourself a can of pleasure instead. unless youre a masochist of course.
Re: Kicks to sample
There been very good advice for you already. practice and keep researching, ask questions etc.baswillems wrote:Indeed, I may sound like a douche but it doesn't work. So please help

Re: Kicks to sample
As for this tread, BasWillems.. Music making is fucking awefull, but so fucking fun at the same time. Its like life, there is no right or wrong way, no manual. You have to figure out what works for you as an individual.
Re: Kicks to sample
although I don't like to base on samples, I also still have one of Mattias packs - I belive it's some free christmas sample pack. Very good for layering, recommended!
P.S.
Music making is fucking awefull? Strongly disagree. Thanks to musicmaking I have enough motivation to manage with most activities in my life (work, relationships etc.). Actually, the way I live is subordinated to music making, although i am not professional musician. it's beautiful and amazing. If you feel like not making your own sounds but rather sample others, you've got nothing in common with producing process.

You could also try this:

Its a cheap plugin that allows you to layer different tops/clicks and then gives you loads of control over a sine bottom in the form of pitch and volume envelopes. Its nothing radical plugin wise, but the control on the envelopes is quite nice.

Re: Kicks to sample
You need to read between the lines mate. I owe joyfull thing in my life to music. But I for one think music making can be pretty nasty at some times when things dont work out, you have no time to make music or if you're simply inspirationless for a few weeks. Its like everything you love dearly or that you're almost obsessive about, its not all about roses. Its a process, and you're going to hit obstacles. That's what I meant, and he can either man up and overcome these obstacles or take a shortcut by copying others and thereby lying to your creative self.krypt wrote:Music making is fucking awefull?

Re: Kicks to sample
Very nice man. Looks very nice. Even my hero, David Guetta, says it's a gamechanger!!! see the reference on the picture I can also recommend BazzISM. Have you used it Willem? Could you compare it?willemb wrote:You could also try this:

Alume - ok man, i get what you mean. But to be honest, i really enjoy even the hard times and problems too. It's a part of the process
Anyway, it is a personal thing. I belive it looks different for everyone, no point making generalisation.
cheers!

Re: Kicks to sample
I believe the envelope control is more elaborate in this kick synth... i read some facebook thread where people were comparing the two.
Re: Kicks to sample
I did sample some Surgeon kicks when I was starting out, thinking it could bring me those pounding, heavy kicks. Only to realize that the sounds before and after that kick makes half of its sound.
My advice would be : don't think too hard on kicks, keep it simple (eq, light compression, some "textural layering" on top of it maybe) and focus on the sounds that'll go with it.
