How To Make Your Kick Kick

[@freezythegoat.]

damn bro, you were born to do this. you explain things the best way i’ve ever heard

[@pjayy2731]

Seriously tho. My kicks straight fire now

[@stiptreezy8481]

Been talking about how splice loops are pre processed for months now, you are the only person I’ve seen talk about it on KZbin so far. You continue to not only drop knowledge but do it in a way that is presented well and easy to follow along with. Keep doing your thing Devvon!

[@pestipetobeatz023]

Word!

[@poorhouz5051]

Bro got the dopest videos explaining real life situations in the studio. Yes I know this is old.. I just found out about him. LOL Salute My Dude

[@sonnybrasco9735]

I would like to see how you would tackle a hip hop mix where the producer has one main sample track as the instrumental for the beat, and vocals in the mix as well. Would love to see how you would go about keeping the clarity and vibe being there's so much information that's gona be in the center of the mix since it wouldn't be the best idea to pan the sample for it may sound lopsided. Thanks 🙏🏿

[@Sinista-Beatz]

Puigtec. Smart. I use the Pultec EqPro from UAD. Ima try the Avalon next from UAD And a couple others

[@dakillakc]

Yoooo Devvon, I appreciate the advice you threw at us all here! Def helped me! My kicks were so flabby so matter what I did.. Sooo I took your advice and went back to the orig stems and fixed the frequency’s on the kick and 808's. Big difference! Thank you for dropping gems! - Da Killa KC

EXTREMELY HELP-FULL,

[@AaronRuperto]

Def the best audio engineer on youtube. Easily. Only person i get tutorials from on youtube Also, question, what's the difference in doing P COMP on an aux track vs using the mix knob on a compressor in line on the kick track? Is there even a difference? Thanks bro!

[@asaphmwinukaministry33]

Brother you are the best teacher ever!!All the way from Africa i really appreciate you man😎😎

[@danielledaniq]

Your tutorials are the ones that have me saving mixing chains in studio one that I can use over and over and they work every time. Thank you. If you ever decide to do a mixing and mastering subscription or roll out a course, I’m going to be on it cause you help me a lot. You get straight to the point. Thank you.

[@Biwom]

Devon you’re a genius. Thank you so much

[@Kiss_To_Da_Sky]

Growth in these videos 💯

[@jarrenyoro1076]

please please please give out a more detailed video on how you use a limiter to mix and where in the mixing stage you throw it on at, and what levels you have your main transients at (e.g. kick drum snare 808) when its going thru a limiter! i been giving it a go but i dont think im doin it right :(

[@napalimmi]

You need to also make production tutorials. You are very talented weirdo!

[@TheFeelButton]

Putting some stick in the kick! Good stuff Devon!!

[@jolids_]

6:05 Devon you say fastest attack on the compressor but isn’t this the slowest attack setting you have there? Sorry if I am missing something just wanted to clarify. Your videos helped me a ton btw man keep it up!

[@JTFuller]

Another excellent video nephew.. Outstanding..

[@manlust5439]

Thank You devon.

[@crimewavbeats5532]

Yea i usually do a boost ,two cuts and a compressor on the kick, and then parrellel compression, moderation is key in mixing everything fr, yes there might be some techniques but for the most part moderation

[@mrsipps]

Always $$$. I love the passion.

[@Kris-Ako]

just found your channel, I find it really informative and easy to follow, your vibe is really chill, keep up the good work your doing every producer a solid :)

[@geebee44]

Dope... Thanks. and your site is tuff. Did the producer release the track yet? I can hear SZA or Jhene on it...

[@stefanegromostwanted58]

Can anyone tell me please do you put paralleel compresor on the kick chanel or on some other and then sidechain it to kick? And of course, thank you so much Devvon!! I must say that I watched so many producers on yt but you explain the best and I really appreciate it. God bless you! Greetings from Montenegro country

[@eduardo_wan]

great video bro, thanks a lot

[@MrNardthehard]

Do you still bus kick out to Drum Bus ? Thanks in advance Love the content

[@dmponthecablez1357]

this makes sense, thanks a lot!

[@hjkhhjkh3635]

so is it better to use parallel compression, or the smack attack plug in, or both?

[@jaimesagastibeltza8002]

Hi Devon, I see that you place the middle of kick waveform just on the grid line instead the waveform begining. Is that right ?

[@adriencmb375]

Where is that beat from ? Sounds great hope it has been released

[@ShogunxCAL]

I want to hear it too

[@boardroommgmt7459]

Dope. Thank You.

[@ragingcamel7356]

Thoughts on DS-10 drum shaper? I've seen that helps get more punch on things

[@mimikoss]

any problem when mixing with stereo kick ? must always converted to mono? most of the kick samples are stereo

[@a.t.onthebeat2016]

Bro. You're 1 of the main 2 producers I watch on KZbin but you don't use Fruity Loops. Smdh! I wanna learn how to do this with FL Studio stock plugins even though it's most likely not possible. For example, FL Studio doesn't have a dynamic eq plugin so I purchased Waves F6 yesterday.

[@starstuff7605]

I found the goat!

[@stretchEE1]

I got a question. When mixing rap vocals, do you put a deesser on every track? Like main dub punch and ad-libs?? Is it necessary??

[@Flux_One]

Great vid. Explained really well. Another alternative is not to use a kick from a pack and make your own 👍

[@summerdrummer_sa]

Can you please make a video on how to Record on Pro Tools using a USB Microphone 🙏🙏🙏🙏please

[@gfuproduction7287]

Try dbx compressor 🔥🔥

[@bboymac84]

You could put a reverse kick before some kicks

[@JTFuller]

Nephew, do you ever use R-Bass, Waves? For your kicks? That's amazing too..

[@lemarriusivey5778]

Thanks Bro

[@KenneYee]

Hey Devvon, do you use the stereo versions of smack attack and puigtec? Do you mix your kicks to be mono or do you keep them slightly stereo/wide?

[@manlust5439]

the real secret to bouncy track no matter whats on it (vocals, bass, kicks, all type of instruments synths) is volume at all cost in the digital domain. there are no secrets, one has to find tricks to increase volume. psycho-acoustics included (stereo and everything).

[@eelam_hiphops]

kikc bass eq on fl studio plz do bro

[@idek6529]

Hey man, next time you listen to our mixes live where can I email for a chance you see my session? Feel like I got a solid mix (2track) Ran into some problems with the master tho

[@CortneyWarren2050]

Question Devon, I use Studio One 5. I have all my drums routed to my drum bus for processing. In this situation should I perform this method on the drum bus or a duplicate kick track?

[@juwan2807]

You're gonna create another bus and route it to your drum bus. Then send your original kick to this new drum bus

[@CortneyWarren2050]

@@juwan2807 Thank you Elijah! I'm on it

[@caryaton]

Can somebody tell me the difference between in gain and out gain?

[@backslash2383]

Is it really sounding better with SmackAttack though? I'm asking because I can see that you've left the output gain set to 0, so then the overall volume of your kick got louder with the plugin. In my personal experience, every time I added SmackAttack to an already processed kick and reduced the output gain to match the initial volume, it actually sounded worse 70% of the time because it takes away a lot of body and uhmfff.

[@HelpMeDevvon]

What I do is I pull back on the wet signal that’s the key! That’s why people stray away because they leave it fully wet

[@CamMurdoch]

nobody on KZbin is explaining things this well in 12 minutes....they be like 24 minutes and I'm still confused.

I don't understand something... you said the fastest attack setting, but you have it on 7 ms...shouldn't be on 1 ms to be fastest...?! 🤔🤕

[@Jukkaranula]

You said that you put fastest attact to comp, but you set attact to slowest :)

[@DONCUC]

That got me extremely confused I won't lie

[@edekovacs238]

On the 1176 compressors it is different: slow on the left and fast on the right

[@HelpMeDevvon]

1176 is different!! What I said is correct!

[@Jukkaranula]

@@HelpMeDevvon Ok good to know. 😃 i didnt know that.

[@freemindas]

how to make a good kick ??? Very simple! Find a good sample kick and you dont need more then eq and just a tiny bit of compression!

[@edtcaliber]

This is a dope technique! I actually released a song to this beat, big shoutout to jaydot! If anyone is interested, my record is called "Toxic Environment" by Edwin De'Vaughn and is streaming everywhere.
