Guest Salient Posted December 9, 2005 Share Posted December 9, 2005 How do I make a super snappy kick, like with no delay, and keeping it really punchy? I'm no expert at compression. I'm trying to sort of replicate the kick that Jega uses in alternating bit. CHEERS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest disco_epilepsy Posted December 10, 2005 Share Posted December 10, 2005 I've been having this same problem, so any help is massively appreciated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pylonbitch Posted December 10, 2005 Share Posted December 10, 2005 hit it up with a 5:1 ratio on the compresor...(if it's softwware.. less if it's hardware. attack at about half a millisecond... short release. fuck about with the settings a bit. edit: i should say thhat this setting is not a panacea, just a good place to start.

pylonbitch Posted December 10, 2005 Share Posted December 10, 2005 oh cool, cheers, i'll give it a whirl and i don't know why i said delay, i meant decay you could also try putting a really harsh noise gate on it... one that cuts out anything below a couple of dB, maybe even one dB under your top level Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest HoTLiPz Posted December 10, 2005 Share Posted December 10, 2005 remember, if your kicks main energy is at 50hz, the human ear only hears this frequency after one full cycle, ie 1/50th of a second, which gives you a late kick. so try pushing your kiks forward in time by this amount and tell me what it sounds like you crazy bakkstid! :laughing: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest HoTLiPz Posted December 10, 2005 Share Posted December 10, 2005 i want to feel the kick tickling my balls whilst pushing all the air from my chest out thru my pooper Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Salient Posted December 10, 2005 Share Posted December 10, 2005 well, what i did in the end was took my original kick shortened it to 0.2 of a second, compressed it as pylonbitch said, layered it with an 808 BD, and all is well. Then I EQd the motherfucker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest 2780 Posted December 11, 2005 Share Posted December 11, 2005 make your own in sound forge....fm synthesis => sinewave.... and apply a pitch bend to it... then its up to you how snappy it will be... even without compression Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
