Your videos are so helpful and you seem like such a genuine guy. I wish you the best of success :)

[@EDMTips]

Thanks for the support! :)

By far the BEST channel of them all. Just tried the advanced version but on a drum rack using 2 simpler devices(sub and top). Using the start, end, and fade out on the simpler; then using an Eq and a glue comp on the mix bus i was finally able achive the kick i was searching for. Thanks mate!

[@EDMTips]

Awesome! You're very welcome!

[@mukinha]

Eight video done! Great technique!

[@worldartsmidy2513]

Excellente vidéo pour optimiser un kick drums.Merci à vous. Thank you very much 👌.

[@CardenasBlack]

[@EDMTips]

Glad you like :)

[@melona3727]

[@mac12344]

[@GuitarsAndSynths]

[@SugaJacky0]

great video

[@harryandrews3347]

Amen brother

[@EDMTips]

Appreciate it! 🙌🙏

[@lupo2619]

Could you spend a couple f words on your drum compression settings? Especially attack and release? I guess you set a 1.67 ms attack in order to preserve the initial transient of the kick and have the compression start a bit later, but why set a release as long as 478 ms? Wouldn't it end up affecting the transient of the following hit? Thank you

[@elchanancohen2673]

Thank you!! If you can make a tutorial about drums And how to create chords/ melody from a drum beat

[@EDMTips]

Interesting idea!

[@natemantle5933]

No offence, but that's more than a "tutorial". That requires learning the same things that professional musicians learn. Harmony, melody, rhythm.

[@taylorandrew8567]

Just a little heads up if CTRL/CMD does not work for you. Hold ALT before dropping the sample instead of CTRL/CMD. This worked for me.

[@igetnoviews]

hi will! love this channel so much🙌🏽 i just wanted to ask, there's a technique i use for layering kicks that is slightly based on the same idea as this tutorial, but i've found it gives a much cleaner and more accurate sound. is there any way i can make a video and get it to you to have a look?

[@igetnoviews]

i also just want to say thank you so much for everything you do on this channel! a friend of mine gave me a copy of your mixing edm course and it honestly helped me so much! especially with stereo imaging and all that🙏🏽 thank you

[@EDMTips]

Hey man...thanks for the support! Sounds good! Have you used Loom (free screen capture and sharing), or upload to private KZbin link?

[@igetnoviews]

@@EDMTips you're welcome!👏🏽 alright Loom, i'll give that a try asap⚡

[@igetnoviews]

sorry will, how do you record the audio straight from ableton and not through your mic on loom?

[@EDMTips]

I'm not sure...it will probably depend on whether you are using internal sound card or external. I remember having a lot of issues with sorting all that out, so I ended up buying Screenflow. Audio Hijack might work, too

[@MarcusK.]

Thanks👍

[@EDMTips]

You're welcome!

[@stefanosoha796]

You're welcome!

[@jimjim8616]

why I cant find low past eq in ableton live

[@crossy333]

I know this is a year old but he has just used the stock EQ 8 and renamed the device "low pass"

[@jimjim8616]

@@crossy333 oh~~thx~~~~

[@AudioPervert1]

Prefer to use a drum machine (example Tempest) or Get FM Synth Kicks. In practice layering sampled kicks just to get more power is a rather laborious and error prone task .. Further imagine a genre of music which has to proportion 50% of the sound spectrum to a Kick ??!

[@soundmasterz8306]

It doesn't work the same for FL Studio.
