How To Achieve Pumping Tech-House Drums

[@0626love]

The major point with the compression release is that it has to release the compression before the next beat hits, so that the new transient could come through. So the release depends on tempo of beats. At 125bpm you get ca. 2 beats per sec., so the release needs to be shorter than 0.5 - otherwise everything is compressed continuously and even the attack never comes into play. Knee shape decides with what motion (starting quick or slow, usually switching speed half-way) does the compression go to 100%. The release tempo is also very important with vocals - so that it is released when the next word begins (if we want it clearly hear, the first letter articulated, cutting through the mix - or do we want it mumbo-jumbo).

[@djangel_rodrigues3701]

thats true! always setting the treshold correctly too

[@ale9507]

Fantastic advice. Thank you very much for this. Have always been a little confused with what I should set the release, and attack time for that matter, to.

[@AndrewNitts]

In my tracks, the maximum note speed is 1/16. Calculated with a calculator for 126 BPM, 1/16 is 119 ms. So, in order for all my drums to be compressed, I have to use a release no more than 119ms?

[@Bittamin]

I know this was two years ago, just wanted to know if anybody thinks this is possible on IOS garage band or not even worth attempting. I can mess with compression, not sure how intricate I can do it tho

[@MozwGamer]

Give some DJOKO drums tutorial.

[@tazzieboyman]

Yes please!

just picked up the deciever pack. get yourself some beard oil on me

[@HowardCharlesUK]

The way you've explained it all together in this video - now I actually get it!! This is going to change everything for me 😁

[@jordanhamilton8245]

Whats the Deadmau5 pumping trick?

[@anthonygio9961]

Prok & Fitch's feedback on my track was literally to make my drums pop more, so this is pretty much what I was looking for rn

[@anthonygio9961]

@Hugo Millington-Drake I went to their show here in SD n handed over my USB

[@beng70]

Where is vocal from

[@jamieworsdall5641]

You’re most likely familiar with Qubiko, I’ve always wanted to know how he creates his drums. If you listen to his tracks his drums are extremely punchy. His track “mono tono”or “U R” is probably the best example

[@diegothepokemontrainer]

Tfw you’re introduced by “brrrkeep” instead of “beep beep” or “bup-oup”

ive just spent a hour taking notes on this tutorial... 😉 theres alot of bullshit online but i know you know your stuff so it was worth me doing it, cheers zen! legend!

[@skinnybeats7060]

does anyone know if he sent all the drums into the compressor or just the kick?

For those who use other DAW's besides Ableton, what compressor plugin would be comparable to use instead?

[@mikeyskymusic]

answered my own questions, SSL G-Master buss compressor works well. Thanks for the tip dude!

Is this guy from producer dojo?

[@ShannonMcDowell71]

Thanks for this! I often use parallel compression, but I don't think my drums pump enough with it. I will try your technique as I mix my next track. Peace!

[@erkutgokergil]

hey Zen (Ninja), can u show us how to make progressive deep - stan kolev style..

[@arysonck2753]

Yo I haven’t been here in a good while!! Where’s ur old studio fam? Anyways thanks for the video!

[@jantomasjuza7907]

Thanks for the tips! Cool video, however, it could be made even better by not saying "guys" in every other sentence :-)

[@ZenWorld]

Editing that out in the newer videos haha bad charisma habits

[@michaelmilano4457]

the attack on the compressor is the key along with the release....a standard 30 ms attack will let the beautiful transient of the kick come through in an amazing way

[@itsbrandonreed]

Michael Milano yes sir. let that kick through the door

[@MrJJDread]

Zen! I have a question on this. Is it necessary to have the Kick in the drum bus for this technique to work? Because i always make separate bus for the Kick and Bass

[@luckyrollrick]

MrJJDread yeah man I do the same. I was wondering the exact same. The compressor will definitely act differently with out having the kick in the same group

[@Sweep_The_Leg_Johnny]

in the late 90s, i did a Live P.A. w/ my younger brother, and we wrote a LOT of stuff w/ this type of drumstyle. We called it "Woompa Woompa" Kick.

[@InactiveShooters]

He talks nonsense until 2:00

[@howdoideletethis227]

Exactly what I needed. Yeet

[@riukimura]

any alternative for the Glue Compressor In FL Studio?

[@Vincent-jv1pp]

Cytomics the glue or Waves ssl bus compressor, the second one is about 30 bucks if you wait for a discount

[@anthonyfcollins]

[@WASS291]

I've been searching 1 year for this tip Thank you master.

[@georgethomas7318]

No right or wrong when it comes to production and mixing, however my mixing teacher taught us to use a slow attack and fast release for glue compression. In doing so, you don’t squash the transients of the sounds. Keeping it extremely punchy and cohesive sounding. Know as SSL bus comp cross eye.

fruity compressor or fruity limiter in comprossor mode. but essentially any type of compressor with the wright setting should do the job

Awesome video as always! I would suggest a longer attack time (10-30ms) though on the glue compressor because you don't want to squash all those transients!
