Whenever you say kick it sounds like one

[@rsantiago0309]

Curtiss you the man, i love that you busted out the Kickstart plugin, especially it coming from the EDM background. So i like that you presented this plugin to your viewers to have more creative insight. Its such a great plugin.

[@ClassEBeats]

You knew I was gonna be first🔥💪🏾💯

[@CurtissKingTV]

Always a pleasure bro!

[@ClassEBeats]

Curtiss King TV the pleasure is all mine sensei🙏🏾👨🏽‍🍳🔥

[@dolapoinc]

Kickstart looks dope, another way I do sidechain especially in FL Studio is the FL Peak Controller... very simple and effective way

[@bgimusic]

never understood it until now, you explained it so simply!! it’s like ducking

[@AbelDaFantom]

That plugin is amazing for Acoustic Guitars.

[@broketunez]

I always appreciate how clearly you explain how these things work and why. 🔥

[@1ofsolitude]

I haven't even watched the whole video yet....but....sidechain dat kick to da bass and get to tha choppa!...Yea, dont mind me i dunno what im saying, too much caffeine at work today

[@MugenKaizenBeats]

Thank you. This really helpful. It makes sense when you explain it. I would love to see more tutorials from you.👍

[@TimmMix]

Very nice tutorial my guy

[@Gedagnors]

Thank you so much!!!!! By the way, when you set "Sodechainto this track" - there is round button like a volume of this effect? I mean, when you do it - it looks like it is inactive, because it's the same picture of a button like at chanel effects rack. Or it should be that way?

[@ReyhanJoseph]

Donuts in the back. Hey Curtiss thx for the tut

[@OctoberOG]

Dude i bought the plug-in right after this video. Its AMAZING! thanks for the info Curtis!

[@thatguyalex4571]

dadadadooo 😂😂 gonna cop kickstart, was already 90% sold, this video got me to 100%

[@MrJakrab]

Sick plugin suggestion!! Kinda like a valumeshaper/timeshaper lite, do more videos with cableguys plugins, there amazing! Halftime, timeshaper and there modular filters are great!! - MacaroniDRIP

[@8thHood]

that Kickstart is just gater, you can achieve similar effect in grossbeat

[@surgicalglitch3265]

No, its sidechain compression. That said its a very cheap sidechain compression. But its compression.

[@nighthawkmusicnetwork9513]

the only things kickstart sucks about is you have to automate the mix to 0% when you don't want a sidechain, and you can only have straight forward beats with no kick/snare diversion. If they allowed you to link it to the kick track then it would be perfect

[@Cableguys]

Hi! You can trigger Kickstart in any pattern via MIDI. Hit the big "cog" icon to access the Advanced Settings, then select the "1-Shot" mode. Route MIDI to Kickstart and it'll react to the pattern you program.

[@savagelandptyltd513]

Hey Curtiss, can you make a vid on using all the stock sound synth plugins, noise gate and effects on sounds in FL

[@jablosounds]

saw this before but had to come back. thanks for the help man

[@coolscube5062]

Hi @Curtiss King Tv ... Im still Learning about " Side-Chaining" I like what it dose to sound ive not use it as yet im new to Producing Music Tracks looking forward to using it on my tracks . Thank You for the Clear Tutorial ,

[@Cmvib3]

My go to!

[@panther2486]

Thanks for the wisdom once again King. Been using fl limiter mostly to side chain. Will try this out.

[@thnkvoid16]

thumbs up on the thumbnail

[@DSickMusic]

Very helpful ! I had no clue what it was at first. Thanks 🙏🏽

[@VaporGawd]

When he did the Dadah dah da Dooooudjdkledjlskjelu at 2:30 I felt that!😂😂

[@urbnfuel]

Thanks, bro! Was using kickstart hella wrong!

[@hirabeats8746]

Ohhhh. I hate this timezone differencee. You always upload when I sleep hshs

[@Kodru]

Knowledge 👑

[@DarkSiderrs4ever]

so like if there are multiple kicks in a proj, and the bass is below many of em, do I hv to sidechain every kick to it ?

[@damienholland8103]

I'm still trying to figure out why some people are putting a separate Sidechain channel into the mixer into of sidechaining the kick to another instrument.

[@christianu5076]

Your mic cutting out sounds like a sidechain😂

[@ClassEBeats]

95k okayyyy😱👍🏾

[@anselminos5238]

Volume Shaper 5 is like The "Pro" version of The kickstarter , and its made by The same guys

[@bigkeezo]

Thanks the compression thing confusion 😞 I'm new to this FL studio stuff and all those zippy zap lines and dots 🤪 bro 👍🏾

[@marcosraphael3390]

Thank you, very useful

[@dintsesib4444]

Very good tutorial, But what's the difference between sidechain to this track & sidechain to this track only? Why some Tutorials shows a channel mixer as a trigger and separate channel mixer for the FL Studio limiter/compressor ? Whats the difference?

[@shaunblackwood9358]

Thanks 4 the vid.....Can you do a Tutorial using Surfer Eq with sidechaining 808 & Kick

[@bboymac84]

Nick is the man!!

[@thaluck9]

I Appreciate you my guy!

[@YamiMajic]

That intro theme is so calming. You got that as a full song somewhere? Lol Great video. Thanks.

[@CurtissKingTV]

It was actually a beat that got sold a few years ago.

[@davidjangmusic]

hey bro, I jus subscribed anyways, is there an original plugin in fl studio that can replace "kickstart" coz i don't wanna spend any more money now that i got the all-bundle edition of fl studio thx~

[@KoreyCreative]

Yo Curtiss, "Curtiss King Productions © 2016" That's on your licensing terms. On your Unlimited License, how long does the term last? I'm trying to come up with what is good for my beats, Any help?

[@CurtissKingTV]

1 year.

[@KoreyCreative]

Okay thanks for the info and the speed.

[@itsthareapershawty]

This that good shit!

[@kimsonengti3897]

well I suggest go check it out LFO TOOL by xfer its pretty much like KICKSTART but you have more controls to it.

[@DisInfoWars]

Anyway to get kickstart to trigger off a kick instead of its own preset?

[@HarbingerOfAnarchy]

But what to do when you have not 4 to the floor bit? It will useless.

[@TheInfamousChes2]

Love ur vids, bro. I’ve been making beats for 10+ years, but I’m just now getting into the real details of it all. 1 quick question - when bouncing the tracks of your beats, do you remove the sidechains from the individual tracks or do you keep them? For example- my kick is sidechained to an 808. When I solo the kick channel, I get the kick AND the 808. Before bouncing, do I remove this sidechain so that it only gets the kick? This would make sense, but also it would destroy the mix as I had it. Input from anyone would be much appreciated.

[@stevenrutherford4565]

Best option to keep the song as close as possible to the way you want it would be to find a way to record the bass side chaining to the kick and bounce that audio instead of taking the side chain off. It could be simply creating an aux track and having it receive input from the bass track that's being side chained. That way you can still bounce stems and also keep the mix in place.

[@fratertater6130]

Thank you! 🙏

[@panther2486]

Noticed a lot of House and Edm producers use Kickstart. Hardly see it being used by Hip Hop producers.

[@agthaog1986]

i think timeshaper does this and alot more....its not really considered a compressor though but it appears 2 do the same. hard 2 say 4 me i never really use compression on like alot of hi-end sounds

[@MrJakrab]

Back to them webcam vids😅🔥

[@izvarzone]

Why is thing thing called sidechain if it's LFO volume automation. Sidechain would be if sound from one channel affects function of plugin on other channel (like compressor or dynamic eq) Yeah I know they have similar purpose but still…

[@souldiving4197]

What if it’s not floor on the floor. 🤔 a different kick pattern

[@kimsonengti3897]

most common thing in EDM.. might be new to this GENRE

[@tylerdurden6992]

I have clicking noise on my sidechain help... shifting helps but destroys the groove

[@ptsfix]

you can use that first example of sidechain compression for a kick to go over your 808's correct Curtis?!?!?!

[@anselminos5238]

Yes 👍 , you understand , and remember do not sidechain too much

[@ptsfix]

@@anselminos5238 thank you for the reply n curtis for the like.. What are your thoughts about sidechain compression using " Fruity peak controller" ?

[@anselminos5238]

@@ptsfix I prefer to use it For kicks and 808 , For other elements If sidechained as hard as The bass Will Be kinda Bad , If you want to sidechain Use it wisely

[@ptsfix]

@@anselminos5238 I appreciate your thoughts and input. Thx!

[@tcrump212IsLmbrJck_t]

ON GOD...? I Just downloaded the plugin and then i was like... let me see if i can find a nice tutorial. And then, I see the brother with Jay Dee in the background. God is real.

[@zillzultraboy]

This was dope! I wonder if Kickstart works on wav. files.

[@anselminos5238]

IT Works as an FX plugin , IT sidechains The input signal

[@baeos7900]

did u just sidechain ur voice😂😂

[@ptsfix]

What are you guys thoughts on sidechain compression using "Fruity peak cotroller"?

Are you going to make beats for ab-soul next album
