Kick tutorial by Headhunterz

[@Utomneian]

i tried to make a hardstyle kick, after 9 hours i realized it was completely bad so i started over. HHz speaks the truth, ears will fool you, i thought my kick was awesome, but after taking a step back and hearing references, i realized i fooled myself. i become very depressed shortly after that and took me a week before i could even look at Ableton again.

[@mr.habibbi3158]

lol

[@NoiseTacticz]

If I had a dollar for every pixel in this video i would probably have 55 dollars

[@lotdproduction]

+Gareth Richardson hA!

[@ramsesii360]

+NoiseTacticz Music I can't stop laughing..... thanks.

[@neoman265]

I'm your 55th like lol

[@cumdumpster6798]

Neoblaze no i am

[@Conormcnproductions]

it's a creative process, which involves trying things. It's like art, there is no "why he used that plugin there and here" he just knows what the FX plugins do and then used his imagination with them

[@XenoghostTV]

It's insane how many equalizers and distortions he put in that chain lol

[@cone2468]

when the ustream logo has like 4 times better quality than the stream itself

[@DJChappie001]

This is a part of an interview with him: First and foremost, I launch FL with the beginning of each little idea I have in my head, whether it’s a fast melody, or a drum groove to start out with. I Use FL Studio for that because I have found that the piano roll is by far the FASTEST way to “plot” my melodies and rhythms down because although I have an ear for it, I couldn’t “play” a melody to save my life.

[@TheRawstyler]

click 144p for better quality

[@scron8610]

LOOOL why it is working??

[@jemoeder51]

If he would make a kick tutorial now it will be about 10 seconds long.

[@allansadventures9459]

wow...it looks really cool...it's amazing the amount of editing that goes on from the original drum machine haha...my favourite sound is the combo of microtonic and with a bit of eq before chucking on a Filterbank plugin...mate it sounds solid to me...really stompy...definitely a more raw sound though, inspired by the hardcore kicks of today...

[@BigD751]

2 weeks on a kick? that's why he's the best

[@ksek09]

Don't you guys think the sweetest part of making music especially now-a-days is that you can attain tools of a full studio and able to have it in your bedroom?. DAW's are simply life changing and I think Most DAW's have their pros and cons... As a producer/musician, don't just be entitled to one DAW...or one Synth, etc. Music is a world that anyone/everyone can explore, don't let your mind be set on one path that's been set by another, MAKE YOUR OWN!.

[@XaneMusic1]

The Veldt was completely written in FL Studio. AVICII still uses FL, even though he owns a Mac. Any DAW can be used for music. It's not about the software, it's about the producer.

[@DJSiTTriX]

Best 720p Iv'e ever seen

[@blattlicht]

he used to use fl studio and headhunterz used to use fl studio when he was younger practicing to be a dj

[@NoNamer123456789]

well, ASIO is fucked up on my PC. It only sounds through the speakers (though my headphones are inserted correctly) and when I create a wav/mp3 file, it´s corrupt.

[@GeniuzBeatz]

It's absolutely possible to make a good kick without those plugins, but I think drumazon and Logics standard effects is the way to go.. U can make a kick from any synthesizer, and all DAWs have some synthesizers plugin in stock ;)

[@MutrixOfficial]

It really helped me to hear what the kicks sounded like for each step so I knew what to aim for in the process Step 1) he plays at 7:22 Step 2) is at 8:26 Step 3) 11:25 Step 4) 16:14

[@dju4euh]

When he bounces the kick after everything to work on the attack, decay, sustain, and such... how does he seperate the audio file into different tracks. I bounced my kick to a .wav as stated but my kick is only in one track :( does he slice everything up himself?

[@Martti020]

Does anyone else know any clip distortion VST? It's just essentially cranking up the sound until it peaks and there comes the clipping. I know Ozone 5's Maximizer does the job, but it uses a bit too much CPU.

[@PrototypeDJMedia]

i tried many plugins in logic and the one that looks the most similar is "speech enhancer" which also made my kick fatter, so i think it might be that

[@shamicentertainment1262]

I'm kicking myself I didn't watch this video sooner.

[@Portentomusica]

"And if you don't have logic yet, well... you should get it " hahaha i love you heady

[@ProBountyTargetzPrdz]

ouuuu mi love head hunterz, u have a tutorial for reason 5?

[@redpillzaudio]

Software and Plugins used in this tutorial: - DAW Logic Pro 9 - Logic Pro's built in plugins - D16 Drumazon - Sylenth.1 by Lennar Digital

[@DarkGeneral86]

Does sombody know what he uses in the first channel beside the Channel EQ, Gain and Clip Distortion? thanks =)

[@PierreParo]

We are the 26th of July 2018 and it's still a fking good mine of knowing from the master of hardstyle, thx Willem;

[@itslegiTim]

Best Clip Dist for Windows. Venm is really nice. Finally someone who understands Music Production :P

[@Martti020]

clip distortion is not like logic exclusive, Izotope Ozone 5's Maximizer does the same thing if used right.

[@HardlifeMedia]

Does anyone know what plugin heady uses under the gain plugin on the first channel strip? :)

[@PrototypeDJMedia]

Send bus 2 to bus 3 change the output of bus 3 to "none" create 3 sends on bus 3 set every send's gain to 0 put 3 linear phase eqs on each of the 3 multiband channels (low 80hz, mid 80-1200hz, high 1200 hz)

[@HammerHead656]

avicii didnt change he is still using fl, and to continue the list BT, Savant, Seamless, Project 46, Feed Me, Basshunter, Ephixa, Tristam, Indivision and Toby Emerson.

[@adamofthecosmos]

Anyone figured out everything in that effects chain yet?

[@GeniuzBeatz]

Kaskade - Lessons In Love (Headhunterz Remix), Hardwell - Spaceman (Headhunterz Remix), Headhunterz - Reignite, Nicky Romero - Toulouse (Headhunterz Remix), Chuckie & Gregor Salto - What Happens In Vegas (Headhunterz Remix)

[@mickypeach6681]

I keep trying but I just cant get them sounding as clean as how yours are! I wish I could though :)

[@HammerHead656]

Frontliner uses cubase for production and logic for kicks

[@QatyDance]

If you dont have Clip distorsion in Logick. Take izotope TRASH and give it setting - CLip distorsion ;)

[@Victor2daVazquez]

true you get kinda the same as you would with clip distortion

[@PhadeZMusic]

or get venm since it has all the features of logics clip distortion. the main special thing about logics clip distortion is the simmetry fade which venm emulates.

[@Victor2daVazquez]

true the symmetry usually isn't the same well on every different vst or au or plugins you get different things but not the same (no shit sherlock) lol but sometimes camel phat is better than logic's clip or trash sometimes its better for kicks than clip and camel audio some distortions are clean some are rowdy some add more presences well you get the point but you don't need clip distortion to make kicks just eq distort eq distort reverb band pass and eq then tweak lol but dont give up and dont forget to distort hard on the begining

[@PhadeZMusic]

the point about venm and clip dist is just that they have that symmetry fader to change not just the dist's but also the waveforms symmetry which makes them so unique compared to other distortions

[@Victor2daVazquez]

true simple explanation

[@noizephaser]

not at all, basics are still the same in FL Studio for example and most of the plugins are available as VST for PC users too ;)

[@alfmann87]

yes your right the best tool to make music is the ears.

[@trikronika]

FL Studio heavily relies on what hardware you're using; audio interfaces and stuff. FL Studio runs using ASIO, while stuff like Logic and PreSonus use their own integrated audio engine (which is way better than ASIO)

[@fabulo19]

FL Studio is just as professional as any other DAW. The reason it has the reputation of being a beginners program is because it's very user friendly, but not incapable in any way. Go listen to Yhimself/Archaeic, he's an awesome hardstyle producer who uses FL :)

[@BigD751]

i use logic pro almost exclusively and have nothing but respect for fl studio

[@PrototypeDJMedia]

one thing i hate is not having studio monitors... i make great kicks from my speakers but listened from monitors they suck LOL

[@Keletho]

and how the fck do you pitch that thing

[@hakskkssbbxD]

Keletho!! :D

[@Keletho]

wat

[@gianni1isch]

Adobe Audition

[@HardlifeMedia]

Cool edit pro!

[@hardiestriplekillaz]

sample editor. Dubble click on the kick. Then ur in the sample editor. There u have to select the tail. Click "Factory" and then "Time And Pitch Machine". Try something like 200CENT or -200CENT. Then click prelisten to hear it. If it's OK, click "Process And Paste". Then u have a pitched kick! But before u gonna pitch, u gotta make a copie of it! Good luck!!!

[@BkickOfficial]

is he used this kick in one of his tracks? if yes, name plz :) really want to hear how it pitches.

[@renecrooijmans3514]

Can somebody name all of the plugins he used to overdrive the kick? Can't see it :p. Not a logic user myself. I know he is using the clip disto and channel eq tho.

[@TheDonkerOfficial]

to name ALL of them you have to be in the studio with him and ask him to open the project and write down the plugins in order. There are multiple several ways to make a kick, this is one of them. OFC - hardware plugins are used in the final result -if u make the amount of money HHZ does, you will be able to get them aswell :) Also check Frontliners, Donkey Rollers, and even Toneshifterz tutorials if you want to copy a kick and dont make a kick of your own and learn how to make them by yourself, - as said they all work different but with the same "ground".

[@renecrooijmans3514]

TheDonkerOfficial Thank you!

[@HardstyleNLife]

What are you talking about donker ? He doesn't use any hardware device to make his kick.. and even if he uses that you don't need it to achieve this kind of kick.. of course making kicks is really really difficult because you need experience and trained ears.. BTW the plugins he used in this video is Sonnox inflator to avoid clipping.. but it's very expensive.. you can use the logic's one bitcrusher as clipper ( it does the same things ).. other plugins used are : Channel eq, sonnox inflator(but you can use bitcrusher), gain, clip distortion

[@renecrooijmans3514]

Thank you!

[@TheDonkerOfficial]

Well he says in this tut that he processes the kick through a hardware tapedistortion to get character. Ofc u don't need hardware stuff... thats not what i meant. Also: If u dont use Mac i suggest Venm vst, a clip distortion made for Windows.

[@96manji]

adrenalize , atmozfears , arkaine , rebourne , and alot of other producers do

[@PrototypeDJMedia]

5:42 "Relax Heady... Relax..."

[@NoNamer123456789]

I heard FL´s audio engine isn´t the best. Logic, Cubase and Ableton (I think Reason too) have more possibilities and cooler stuff. But in the end, you´re right, skill is what matters.

[@trekman10]

Why does he use so many EQs? Does it sound different than if he just used a couple or even just one? Why cut frequencies just to add them back?

[@ShreekDj]

Sounds different! It''s weird but effective.

[@AnymMusic]

you EQ the distortion. not the kick itself. so every distortion EQ makes it sound different I think

[@andreastroelsgaard]

I love his kicks... KRWRAUM KRWRAUM KRWRAUM KRWRAUM

[@itslegiTim]

Venm by "Goliath Sounds" sounds 1:1 like The Clip Dist from Logic. Trust me. I used both of them and they're Identical.

[@djatroxx]

Noise Gate?

[@manel270297]

here i download this programe?

[@armandothegreat1]

What program is he using?

[@XkevbakX]

what program is he using?

[@MuffMuncher3000]

its a good tutorial, not to be rude or anything, but if you want people to learn your going to have to use a wider arrange of software that most people are actually able to afford. FL Studio is a very good example and something most people actually have. Logic Pro is not a good choice since most people cannot afford it

[@casblokhunt8874]

If you want more crunch in your Kick you should use 'WhiteNoise Stereo distortion' you will get good reasults and you will be able to make it lot more harder then the normar clip distortion IZotope trash gives u.

[@Royhaven12]

+cas blokhunt that is windows only, right?

[@DrumBuster16]

+Royhaven12 Is a buzz effect adaptor plugin ;)

[@Karunaaa]

Venm from Goliath.

[@NoNamer123456789]

Okay, thanks, but I´ve got a question. When you´re exporting, it´s still using ASIO and has therefore lower quality on the exported file?

[@JL303030]

Oh man. Thanks for that information!

[@NinjaWulfVideos]

I have KRKs and they work AWESOME for small rooms

[@Saske1electrodancer]

explain the kick in fl studio please

[@callewaertye]

what for programe he use

[@TheMrDsc]

Well deadmau5 doesn`t use FL Studio i think. He uses Ableton

[@nacronix]

stop talking about DAW's every DAW got their own special abilities.

[@GunFingerBeatz]

ik ben zo blij dat hardstyle uit nederland komt, later als ik 16 ben ofzo, kan ik naar al die party's en shit

[@guilhermefeitosa7384]

13:22 zika esse bass

[@trikronika]

ASIO actually has pretty good quality, but it always tends to sound differently for me. What I do in FL Studio is I make my tracks using ASIO, and the mastering/mixing using my onboard audio drivers.

[@andreastroelsgaard]

16:14 I could just listen to that ALL DAY LONG

[@hardstlyekid]

Each DAW has it's advantages

[@interwoven6327]

wich program did he use

[@MetalDavidRulez]

Logic

[@xpressordj]

Oxford Inflator- is the right answer. Oxford Infl - in Logic

[@NinjaWulfVideos]

right on dude! Enjoy!!

[@AbenteuerSchatzsuche]

i got my KRK RP6 Rokit G2 yesterday and i am totally the same opinion!!!

[@dreamqore]

thanks for uploading this ;)

[@CarlLazy]

im not giving it away, now it's relased... it's called VENM by Goliath Sounds

[@mishkag1471]

logic is 200 now, it's more affordable than a lot of DAWs

[@Dedas07]

did you know avicii, porter robinson, afrojack, madeon, deadmau5 use FL Studio?

[@laurensb5875]

yes, you can cut the wav file in Logic, or copy the wav file in different audio tracks and make them longer shorter ;)

[@Zalento]

Thanks for posting this, truly interesting... Still, he doesn't say WHAT he did, he is only describing the process. Can't see the plugins used and why,

[@jankovanduijn1062]

And Frontliner ;)

[@NoNamer123456789]

FL maybe not 100% professional, but it´s still a good music studio.

[@NexonNL]

I only have the demo

[@djdarroo]

Great!!!

[@kinoshitahideyoshi1215]

I feel like I'm talking with him in Skype *_*

[@GeniuzBeatz]

@Gold9090 Np ;)

[@VaskanHard]

2020... JAJAJA

[@crazy4lego]

The best speakers are STUDIO MONITORS for this stuff. No exeptions. well, if you dont have 10,000 for god ones, well, um you will get eqed music. oh well. lol

[@stromverg]

"Avicii in studio" He used FL Studio...

[@StarHarvestOfficial]

as if FL isn't widely used by many famous producers...

[@thebrosquad12]

what is he useing

[@squidgame5766]

djsodope What u mean? Drumazone? logic pro x ? and those plugin distortion is a standard plugin off logic pro

[@finnbarker7820]

SQUID GAME thats logic pro 9

[@squidgame5766]

uyiuyi

[@squidgame5766]

my bad

[@demsafs8338]

he is using Logic Pro, only for Mac

[@asdfghjkl112234]

... You DO realise people can use more than one DAW, right? Joel's used/uses Cubase, Ableton, FL, and whatever he wants. Any DAW can be used to make music and some people prefer the simpler ones. Doesn't mean it's a bad DAW if it's simple. Even GarageBand can be decent.

[@elderernst]

0:19 Golden Power €0,30 at Aldi..

[@Catwisemedia]

Martin Garrix to ;)

[@DaPharaohOfficial]

da tweekaz to

[@PrototypeDJMedia]

Yeah!!!! I just used it in my new kick and it sounds amazing!!! Check it out!!!

[@2Wanu2]

Why?

[@a7xmdgt]

logic pro

[@xpressordj]

"Oxford" could match the first word, the second is unreadable

[@blazekjw]

Don't give it away dude! people are working hard to make it!

[@MrKopyer]

hahaahahahahahahahah ,that was so funny!
