Layering your kicks is also very underrated. Its crazy what kind of great kicks you can create by layering 2 Kicks (properly EQ'ed of course) and some sort of Drum Enhancer.

OMG, bravo! It's actually a simple thing, but unless you understand, getting it right is hit or miss. The problem is that until you understand, you can't really choose a kick by listening to it by itself; you need to hear it in context. I discovered this on my own: short kicks are usually--not *always*--better. The best way to convince yourself of this fact is to analyze tracks you think are good. Display the waveform of a good track in audacity or in your DAW and zoom out until you can see the kick waveform wiggling and the high hat is a splash in appearance. You'll see that good-sounding tracks almost always have short kicks: the kick lives in its own, private space (some of this comes from sidechaining in most cases). There's also a great short video of Deadmou5 talking about this (he learned the hard way: Steve Duda had to tell him his kick was all wrong when Deadmou5 was DJing one night). The basic takeaway: leave room / space--in time and in the frequency spectrum--for every important element. When something important speaks, it should not be trying to speak over something else. But when that speaking is done, that element should shut up already. :) Just like if you're in a conversation: you don't want to be interrupted when you're speaking, and you don't want to continuously interrupt others when they are speaking. :)

It seems to me this is not a problem of "not knowing kick shapes", but actually of productions coming from people who dont have the room or speakers that allow them to fully listen to what they are producing. When that's the case, you are indeed right it helps using the oscilloscope, but I feel it would certainly not be a problem if people were actually * listening * to their kicks
@machineagevoodoo2106

That "womp" shape at around 5:41 is not always bad though. Some genres benefits a lot from having that fish tail shape and super common in psytrance for example. So I'd say that if it sounds good in context with everything else in the mix, then it is good. Nevertheless, good video, it is indeed important to have a good kick in dance music.
@TraxtasyMedia
@TraxtasyMedia Год назад
also in many Early Hardstyle tracks, it is pretty common to have that fishy shape and adding a reversed bass
@thelateraledge
@thelateraledge Год назад
In my opinion it's still bad practice to use such a kick in a track though as you don't have much control of where this womp is happening amongst other aspects. If you have them as two seperate elements you'll have much more control. What happens when the BPM of such a kick is different to the BPM of your track? the womp will be in a different location. Stretch the kick to fit? well that can create weird artifacting and phase issues. Better to process them as two seperate elements rather than one.

@@bassc In my experience more often than not it will cause issues though but I agree if you have a decent monitoring setup with a sub it can be done. Although if I was doing it myself I would still use three separate elements for more control. A short kick, a kick tail and then the bassline on its own.

It really doesn’t. A well written and like able song will hide the fact that he used a kick sample from a studio one sample pack.
@Prod.Maurice
@Prod.Maurice Год назад
@@2cthetruth it does, take a song with an overall less present high-end: it will sound weird if you have a kick sample with a too present/high-end attack, it will take too much attention, and let the other instruments disappear (even when sidechained). This works both ways. So, the point he makes about the overall shape of the kick is essential if you want a kick that doesn’t destroy the mix in several possible ways that he demonstrated.
@2cthetruth
@2cthetruth Год назад
This is why most people don’t make it. No creativity…they think everything has to sound a certain way! Guessing what? It doesn’t! Blaze your own path and if you don’t get my drift, well then, just follow big zeeeee to get his sound.
@Prod.Maurice
@Prod.Maurice Год назад
@@2cthetruth you can still be creative and have a kick that actually fits the mix. I never said everything should be done in a certain way. The cool thing about music is that there are no rules. But there is a kind of a general perspective about what sounds good mix wise and what not (this doesn’t exclude creativity!!). However, if you want to use a kick that doesn’t fit the mix, sure go ahead.

One of the things I learned while working with Grammy-winning mixing engineers during my stint in the Los Angeles area was that none of them used the solo button during the actual mix phase. I remember asking one of those guys (cannot say his name) about that issue and he answered "why bother with a soloed signal? That will never be close to the final product anyway." What he meant was that none of the buyers/listeners will ever hear the kick, snare, vocal, cowbell (...) soloed. I sometimes DID go thru all the channels during breaks and actually DID solo them all, one at a time. Very surprising finds! Usually, they did not sound very spectacular or even sometimes they sounded downright "strange" or mediocre, BUT... when put together, they sounded like a top professional record. That was really eye-opening to me and when you think about it, it absolutely makes sense. A "mix" is actually about blending things together with the goal of creating a final result that is "bigger" that the simple sum of its parts. Fun thing; I worked with some of the biggest mixing engineers and they worked quite different in regards of HOW their approaches were. And none of them seriously used plugins. We worked OTB pretty much, ProTools was used as a tape machine. Even though some of those guys had "signature plugins" available or were the faces for marketing campaigns of plugin manufacturers. I remember their grinning faces vividly when being asked why they avoid plugins. A well-maintained hardware unit just sounds so much better, no matter what quirky setting you come up with. #dontbelievethehype ✊🏻

This is a very valuable vid, not bc people might be using the "wrong" kick, ie, one that doesn't cut through in the sterile way that the genre of his track demonstrates, but because I realized I hadn't been really thinking about sculpting the low end, especially with something so prominent and repetitive as a kick sample. I think all the kicks he used could find a place in a decent mix, it just depends on what you are going for. This is kind of like music theory... its great to know the rules of music not so that you can always follow them, but to be able to decide for yourself how (and when) to break them. I mean, ffs gabber dnb and techno exist, so yeah lol dont be afraid to make your kicks go bleep or bloop, just do it with intent and purpose (and tastefully) in the context of whatever genre you are trying to hit. first vid I've seen and although its not my genre, this dude clearly has a lot of valuable advice. thanks for the vid. got my sub
