great tutorial. short question, since am not an ableton user: what would be the equivalent to "kick tight" as a plugin for other DAWs? thanks in advance.
@@christian-mosesholtz5458 I’m not sure other daws have something like this. There are other plugins you can buy, I believe they are called physical modeling tools but I can’t recommend a specific one that provides similar results
@@SoundsGoodRecs thanks man. i did some digging and yeah, nothing included in any daw as far as i found, but i found the following: Supermodal PrismFx Tritik Moodal and to a certain extend maybe the following: Kilohearts resonator Audio Thing Filterjam Audiothing filter jam Soundtoys filter freak FKFX influx GRMTools Reson Xynth Resonator lmdsp Superchord i'll do some further digging. if you stumble upon something by accident or anyone else reading, please be so kind and let me know.
But what to do if I'm recording via loopback and the recorded signal is way lower then played? Will gaining the volume reduce the quality of the sound?
Rewired Records has a great sidechaining vst for free, but for Ableton users I strongly recommend the free max for live device "trnr.Duckling" for sidechaning! could be other m4l devices for this but this is the one ive used for a while and its great
Have you ever considered using the M4L device kick buddy, or ducker? Another alternative for being able to litterally draw your perfect compression curve regardless of what type of kick you choose to sidechain it to! Takes out the step of having to use a ghost kick which can be a hassle for any genre that isnt 4 to the floor since the kick pattern usually changes etc
Yes! I used duck buddy for a while. Loved it! Today I use Kickstart exclusively because I like being able to see the waveform of the kick and adjusting the curve to taste. Regardless, there are plenty of great methods out there.
Also note that some genres like phonk house and some synthwave songs porpusefully sidechain the whole kick (not just the transient) to give that pumping effect
I appreciate the sound you made, but in general I don't love using vital in lofi beats because it sounds digital, acid, cold. I prefer vintage synths emulators for lo-fi sound.
Quick and to the point, good tutorial. So many people have 1-2 hour long videos just yapping and yapping away and only 10 minutes of actual substance. Yours gets straight to the point, thank you
