Hi Guys. I am just wondering if you can recommend the quickest and easiest way to get a nice 808 kick sound in Logic Pro X. There are just so many options these days, that I don't know which is best haha. Drum Machine Designer?

 

Much thanks and have a great music making weekend. =)

do you want to play it at different pitches? ie like a bass line? anyway, you can google it, there are lots of free sampled 808 sounds online. find a good one, save it somewhere "logical" on your mac then open it in the EXS24...and you can do whatever you want from there.

 

for example: https://www.google.com/search?client=safari&rls=en&q=808+bass+drum+sample&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8

Also, ESX 24 has a few 808 options under the drums & percussion category.

 

I'd be shocked if there wasn't an 808-ish kit available in drum machine designer...but it's not labeled by that name.

 

But for most logic presets, anytime you see "classic hip hop" or "analog beats" in the description, it's most likely inspired by that era of drum synth.
