malikben9 Posted February 9, 2021 Share Posted February 9, 2021 (edited) Having recently watched a Christian Henson video, I became fascinated by a technique I observed him using, whereby he achieved a fat drum sound. Open Logic and pick your favourite drum sound, for the sake of this tip I Ultrabeat and the 808 preset Following your choice of bass drum, create a second track and use the Logic Utility instrument called test oscillator In the oscillator's menu tune it to 60hz 192.168.0.1 routerlogin 192.168.l.l After tuning it, add a noise gate effect to the channel strip, to do this click "Audio Effects" scroll to Dynamics and then click "Noise Gate" Open the noise gate menu and click "Sidechain" then select the track your bass drum is on Finally set the noise gate to a "Attack" of 3ms, a "Hold" of 60ms and a "Release" of 24ms or whatever you feel comfortable with. Play your kick drum again and now you should be able to really feel the thickness of the drum. Edited February 10, 2021 by malikben9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
