jmurph2591 Posted September 6, 2012 Author Share Posted September 6, 2012 The dirtiest word in the book. Compression!(Runs for cover) haha alright thanks. so by using that i will be able to tune it well to make it hit hard then? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rainstick Posted September 6, 2012 Share Posted September 6, 2012 no - compression won't tune a kick... what do you want to do with a kick? theres a million and 1 thing's that can be done with an 808 kick, if you post some examples of what you mean it'll be easier to help....

rainstick Posted September 6, 2012 Share Posted September 6, 2012 more bass? 808s are generally pretty bassy as it is.... by bass do you mean below or above 100hz? Do you want to use the kick as a sub bass synth or as the kick drum? if you post a video with the kick your referencing it makes thing's easier....

Do you want to use the kick as a sub bass synth or as the kick drum? if you post a video with the kick your referencing it makes thing's easier.... he's asking for more punch, not more bass. try some significant compression. DON'T boost the bass eq, just makes mud. eq (try rolling off some, or a lot!, of lower-mid eq). maybe add a bit at the high end (eq). limit to keep it all under control.

rainstick Posted September 6, 2012 Share Posted September 6, 2012 i struggle to understand people sometimes unless their pretty specific..... for punch, compression, saturation / some distortion.... if your after some nice source samples goldbaby are meant to be pretty good.

rainstick Posted September 6, 2012 Share Posted September 6, 2012 ha, it was the bass bit that threw me! i started thinking (there's the problem) that he wanted to make an 808 bassline or something... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fisherking Posted September 6, 2012 Share Posted September 6, 2012 when i was a kid (that's a million years ago), i visited electric lady studios, and watched a reggae session. the producer kept asking the engineer for 'more bass', the best line i EVER heard in a studio, EVER: "give me maximum bass on all frequencies, mon". that's been our catchphrase ever since. btw, they blew out the urei monitors on that session. i love that story!!

rainstick Posted September 6, 2012 Share Posted September 6, 2012 ha, nice.... i once heard someone ask for more bass without changing the mix... not as cool as a reggae session though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
