Hope this is a series, would love to hear about Snares as well as rims and hats

Addition to that! That would be great. I struggle a lot with open hihats, both in groove and mixing.

You just pretty much cleaned up with some compression myths.. 🙂

@rmolag Ай бұрын

Do not compres kick, clip it wisely instead, very basic point thanks for explaining so well. I did not realise compressing the kick boosts the initial transient that much. This also explains why you can hear the kick transient coming forward when you compress a mix and why this is at the expense of the overall loudness.

@BeatMax2023 Ай бұрын

What you can also do is using segments together with Tool. Disable smooth so the curve reacts directly. Set it to quarter note and create a curve that has all points set to max. Set one point at the beginning and reduce that one so you get slight ramp. Because the curve reacts so fast it catches the transient but leaves the body intact.

@DashGlitch Ай бұрын

I prefer to do these kinds of edits on the sample with audio fades, the modulation is not always sample accurate in BW

Nice video! I have always been a fan of combining visual monitoring with perceived audio. Waveforms can be super revealing when it comes to phasing issues too. Do you by any chance have a video on filter envelopes on psy bass? Imo, (filter) envelope/curve shaping is the most important part (well I guess static paramEQ can also do a lot). And maybe on how choices in there affect the dynamics with the kick, and how it affects the whole mix? You have a lot of videos, so maybe I have missed it. If not, it could be a good idea for a future video.

Now being a plugin developer, I can tell you, adding the left and right channel together is as simple as (outputSample = (leftSample + rightSample) div 2). This should be done before the data is passed to the FFT processor. In other words the left and right channel info passes through the analyser at exactly the same moment. If the two channels contains exactly the same info you should see no difference between mono and stereo analysis. If you do, find another analyser. blue Cat's has a great free analyser.

@DashGlitch Ай бұрын

Yes but the signal is mono so both channels are the same so it’s it’s kinda irrelevant, but thanks! Oscilloz is one of the best, I believe the issue is related to the window size like I said and is definitely a bug, with an easy fix

Ese truco del clipper, no me lo sabía, enserió después de 25 años.

@tru7hhimself Ай бұрын

while on the topic of kickdrums, where do you see the optimal timepoints for certain frequencies in the sweep? too quick sweeps make the kick lose punch and too long sweeps makes you feel the body of the kick at a different point in time than the transient (not so noticable in the studio, but it's very noticable on the dancefloor). of course it does depend on style, bpm and key, but would you say around 20ms for 150hz and 25ms for 100hz is in the right ballpark for a good balance between the two?

@bliptripmusic Ай бұрын

Have you talked about Audija kick plugin yet? Just cos the built in 'EQ' is game changing.

@DashGlitch Ай бұрын

It's pretty cool, afaik it just does an audio envelope shape at the time the sine passes that frequency? much like the scoop in the envelope to remove mids :)

@maksymfinchuk4810 Ай бұрын

Isn't the best way to tackle this at the source? Just use the amp envelope to shape the transient vs body loudness

@DashGlitch Ай бұрын

Yes, but the problem is so many people put loads of plugins on their which ruins it further, this is a fix for that

@trancephile2412 Ай бұрын

Do you suggest Lin EQ before clipping ? and how about mastering EQ ? does it changes the phase and relation between kick and bass again ?

@DashGlitch Ай бұрын

The clipping on a kick is often to fix issues that arise from EQ/compression like I explained in the video, if you synthesize the kick or use clean samples then you don't need anything other than to sculpt the waveform how you want it.

@nimck6642 Ай бұрын

I never low cut my kicks. What about those eq cuts in your low-mid range that gives the waveform the dip? Doesn’t that just make the kick sound swelly and woompy in a club?

@DashGlitch Ай бұрын

Now that’s some new adjectives, there’s no EQ here, just envelope. Without it the pitch sweep is unbearably loud.

@Artek604 Ай бұрын

Great video (as always), but it's already millionth video on the topic. If it sounds good, it's good. Move to what's actually important and what will make your tracks memorable - arrangement, melodies / riffs, mood / atmosphere, etc.

@cryptout Ай бұрын

No no we love the KiBa science!

@DashGlitch Ай бұрын

True, but I still see the issue with a ton of new producers. Also I did a video on arrangement etc last week!

@patrickeriksson1887 Ай бұрын

You’re 100% right; if it sounds good, it is good. The problem though is that knowing what’s good requires lots of experience and seeing videos like this, ie explaining what makes a good sound vs bad sound, can help a lot in figuring out what you should be listening for. Personally, I really appreciate videos like this, because I enjoy detailed breakdowns and seeing other people achieve the same things with different tools and listening to their ways of thinking. Thanks for a great video.

there is a trance music producer called ' David Gravell ' , in my opinion The KICK drum in his track is SOOOO GOOD that you can't get enough of listening to his tracks , and i tried So hard to understand that how he makes them sound so good but i was always unable to do this , so could you please check his tracks and see what kind of process he use ? i guess he might use disperser , for example this track : kzbin.info/www/bejne/d6azZJ5vpbB4jqc i don't know it has something magical to it

@DashGlitch Ай бұрын

This type of kick is just a bit overdrived into the clipper, remember in the video how I said "try not to make the kick distort", be a bit more generous with this step and use a harder curve (less soften/soft clip). Personally my taste is a cleaner kick, but this is for sure a powerful example!

@trancephile2412 Ай бұрын

@@DashGlitch thank you so much for listening , other than clipping what else do you think he might used ? multiband processing / disperser / layering etc. ?

@DashGlitch Ай бұрын

tbh it sounds to me like just distortion type sounds, like clipping and perhaps light waveshaping. Not too much of the fancy stuff, for kicks those tend to skew the transient.
