Hello!where can I to found the kick punch v2 effects rack?I have ableton 10 and I haven't this..thanks

[@audioreakt]

It's a rack I made you won't find it in the ableton library. In the descritpion if you check the section "Rack used in the video" you will find a link to go to the video where I explain this rack. All my rack are available for free and you can find the download link in the description of the related video.

[@josebonetto]

Amazing as always! Can you show how to do the “Wehbba - basic pleasure “ drone ?

[@audioreakt]

Thanks, I will check that !

[@benjirocks333]

@@audioreakt oh yes please! its an awesome track and it has super interesting synths

[@yannickmuller2707]

You're crazy and your content is insane. thank you so much! I'm asking myself if you have a "how to" clip on a synth, that is very typical in modern techno. It's for example in these two songs, you'll notice immediately: LDS - Path to Kepler (more a reverb version of it).. or Roman Poncet - Route of Pain (min. 2:15, you can here it coming in)... Thank you in advance!

[@audioreakt]

Thanks mate, you mean dub techno chord ? I've some here : kzbin.info/www/bejne/mX2lpmyIg8Z5eqM, I made a dubtechno template where I use this type of chord too here : kzbin.info/www/bejne/rYPPkHiJjMecpqs . Basically anything related to dub techno or techno chord/stab on my channel will help you

[@colinmarshall7010]

I can't seem to load the KickPunch V2 in Ableton for some reason. What might be the cause of that?

[@audioreakt]

Double check you Ableton version, you need Ableton Live 10.1 minimum (and not 10.0.6) if you want to use the live 10 version of the rack

[@Void-ih5wx]

Amazing tips , never would try this for myself...

[@audioreakt]

Thanks mate !

[@chrisapostolidis7325]

Is there anyway to get the same result in FL? Ableton filter and saturator sound so good on kicks however fls sound weird... Some help please...Great video though .. these kicks sounds so good !

[@audioreakt]

Thanks , no idea I never used FL studio...sorry

[@marke3470]

When dragging the 909 CORE KIT into the rack, it's not possible for me to see the waveform of the kick, on live 11 it's called 'bass drum' and instead of the waveform it says 'multisample mode' ?

[@audioreakt]

yeah because for Live 11 they improve their core kit and used a differnet method (mulisample), but you can still pitch it, add effect etc...

[@sudo-bandit]

Great tutorial as always Paul! Quick question. After processing these kicks and getting to the mixdown stage. Is it possible to leave your kick at 0DB instead of -6DB without the master hitting 0? It won’t be too loud?

[@audioreakt]

Yeah let's say its safer to bring it at -6 like this it's let more room for the rest and you won't be clipping. But honestly sometime I forgot and it's still fine because ableton have more headroom above 0,so you really need to push hard to make it clip .

[@ThomasSlen]

Great tutorial as always! I'm wondering; you mention Waves RBass at 10:46 , but could one also use i.e BozLabs BarkofDog (free), Brainworx Subsynth or any other similar plugin?

[@audioreakt]

Thanks, I don't know the plugin you mention but any plugin that generate resonant harmonic in the sub frequency will do the job

[@kilibecher]

Amazing content. Would you use these racks with a pre-processed Techno kick sample or rather stick to basic 909 samples and so on? It sounds great with any sample, I just start feeling bad sometimes after processing an already processed kick this much XD But I guess if it sounds good it is good?

[@audioreakt]

As it sounds good, it's sounds good...haha sometime my kick chain a super long, and overprocessed,

[@kilibecher]

@@audioreakt Alright, that makes me feel better haha Thanks!

[@juanfernandozapatac4848]

Thanks a lot Master! Really appreciate your job

[@audioreakt]

Thanks Juan !

[@Andry87M]

great tutorial! i did the same things in the video but my kick (joyhauser) is different, i don't understand why!!

[@audioreakt]

thank you, I don't know to be honest, maybe the velocity of the midi note triggereing the kick is different

[@PAUL7334]

I would like to buy some Audioreakt samples & presets. Which pack did you use for the UMEK kick please?

[@audioreakt]

For Umek kick I used my kickdesigner rack with some loaded sample on it, you can grab it here : audioreakt.com/collections/samples/products/kickdesigner-sampletools-v1

Great tutorial!!! I wanna try get my kicks to sound like Charlotte de Wittes track Form but i cant get it right could you help me?!

[@audioreakt]

Thanks, maybe use this one as a base and duplictae it and use it as a top layer but more distorded with some eq.

[@ferretruijen5636]

Can you try to make a foghorn like Nico Moreno - Bad Seduction or Insolant Rave? Would love to see that! As always great video mate!

[@audioreakt]

What do you mean by Foghorn ? What it appear in which track ?

[@ferretruijen5636]

All You Need Is Live Actually its not like a foghorn, but more a hard hitting stab siren. He has it in most of his tracks, the most famous one is definitely “Nico Moreno - Insolant Rave”. Its a special style in techno but haven’t seen a good tutorial on yt. Probably its possible to make the sound with Analog. Would love to see you try this! Keep up the good work!

[@audioreakt]

Yeah Nico Moreno is very close to rawstyle/hardstyle , it's more hardtechno than techno, check tutorial about this genre you might find some closer stuff. I've planned to do a tutorial on him but I don't know when yet !

[@martinblasko5795]

Crunchy as hell. I love it. But... How do you fit more sounds along that kick, it's already at 0db? Can you push bassline in that instead of just rumble? And what about dynamics? Don't get me wrong, I like what I hear, I just can't think how to squeeze more animals in the cage, because there's one hell of an elephant already ◉‿◉

[@washingtonbertrand5206]

Curious about this too!

[@audioreakt]

I will usually bring my kick track to -3 or -6. Depend also your track, some track the kick is more important than other. Keep in mind there is more headroom in Ableton above 0, which mean if you go above zero you won't clip (except if you really go nuts).

@@martinblasko5795 Cheers !

[@DelasVC]

nice video bro, although as always it refers to only samples which is unfortunately since i'm looking for tutorials that show how to create kickdrums from the ground up i.e. from as early as creating the sound in the synthesizer. although i'm looking for that for a long time now unfortunately there is just nothing out there showing it - which i believe is for good reason.. nonetheless there where some useful tips that also can be translated to the workflow with a synthesizer, thx a lot ;)

[@Sk-oh7rv]

Hey man! You can find a couple good videos on this channel about synthesizing and also layering your kick. You should check em out!

[@audioreakt]

Making a basic 909 kick from scratch it's "pretty simple", it come from a sinewave or triangle waveform where you apply pitch modulation. I've made a video about how to make kick with Operator ( same rack than the one used here for UMEK Kick), where I take the same process but try to add parameter, and to be honest without effect or layer you will sound very close to an 808 or 909 kick. That's why I used two basic raw / out of the box 909 kick here because that the kind of sample you have direct in ableton and it's raw/unprocess.

[@hector9833]

Great stuffs I really like it! are you going to make the Kick Stereo rack available?, seem to be awesome

[@audioreakt]

You can download the kick preset (all the chain), the link is in the description . So you can grab it from there. But yeah I will do one day

one question: do you even need a „bassline“ if you do a kick like joyhauser?

well the rumble can be the basseline..you can still put a "top" bassline that don't go over the rumble

[@aldohurrhungee3607]

Perceived loudness, no need to go too high to have this distord kick or to peak to have this distord.. there will be no room for you to push more.. gain staging.. less is more

[@audioreakt]

just bring your fader at -6 and problem solved. there is a big chance your kick will be squash by the mastering anyway (for this kind of techno)

[@juliushallwirth2511]

makes me skeptical as well

damn you can't just put charlotte next to UMEK, charlotte is a showpony, UMEK has been scaping techno for almost the past 30 years

[@audioreakt]

Haha yeah it's just a thumbnail don't worry

[@arjanpetersen]

Hire a ghost producer and done:)... that’s how Charlotte makes her Beats. But that is ok. She is having a. Great career

[@audioreakt]

Do you have any prove of what you are saying ?

[@arjanpetersen]

All You Need Is Live it is a generally known thing. She can’t produce.

[@audioreakt]

Well that's just speculations people do because most of them can't stand the fact that a woman can make better music than them and have a more successful career than them. Don't get me wrong, when I saw the beatport video she had done few years ago, I was skeptical , same with the video of her talking about modular .. But there is still no concrete prove that she use a ghostwriter...

[@arjanpetersen]

@@audioreakt nothing against her of being a woman in the music industry. She is having a great career. But there is all the reason to assume that she is using ghost producers. But there are many djs having a ghost producer. Same as most famous people writing a book. Almost all the time a ghost writer. I'm not saying it is bad. But people need to be aware of this. Charlotte is a good DJ but not a producer.
