[@Purkotant]

Never stop Paul, never ever And give us moooooore things from scratchhhh!! Best ableton content creator!!

[@audioreakt]

Thanks a lot, will do !

[@vital9530]

Thank you for the video, as always, excellent content You’re so damn right about the difficulty of nailing the mid high range to have the right punch

[@vital9530]

Btw, can you use Roar if you’re not using the latest ableton? If not what would you recommend

[@audioreakt]

You can use Saturn from fabfilter, it was my go to before roar, I don’t know any free alternatives but look for free multi and saturation vst on google and you might find something….

[@heyitsjens]

Danke!

[@audioreakt]

wow thanks a lot for your support !

[@Kaycie020]

Thanks to you I have been able to improve my own kick rack in the past. This kick you made is exactly how I like my kicks, so I can’t wait to check it out. Thank you!

[@audioreakt]

Great to hear!have fun!

[@cssize4045]

precisely what i was looking for the entire time. great job thanks for uploading and try to do more stuff from scratch its really good.

[@audioreakt]

ahppy to hear that, will do for sure !

[@meridiien]

Great video as usual !take care !!

[@audioreakt]

Thanks, you too!

[@fxvlt1838]

That kick is slapping tidies! I like how you go over the experimentation process and not just a one size fits all, there's no shortcuts. Can't wait to try it out, thnx!🔥🔥🔥

[@audioreakt]

Kick is all about experimentation haha

[@Saigo617]

Yet another awesome video Paul!

[@audioreakt]

Thanks, will do!

[@strangerting7818]

My fav subject 😆 Nice one Paul!

[@audioreakt]

love this topic too haha

[@sonicindustries227]

Outstanding Paul. If it's not the hardest kick ever, it'll do until the hardest one gets here.. (think I've used Roar on everything lately). Keep them coming

[@audioreakt]

Roar is crazy good, I used it a lot too

[@fortheoneswhocare]

Really honest tutorial and it gave me some ideas for my next "new" kick. Thanks ;)

[@audioreakt]

Great to hear! Have fun !

[@saanil_techno]

Great video and great tips, thank you very much 🙏🙂

[@audioreakt]

Thanks and my pleasure !

[@-zoave-]

Excellent as always ! Great rumble idea with cinematic explosion ;) I also like tu use explosion sounds with Shaperbox to heavily shape it, to make sort of dark fat "filling" between kicks. So much possibilities..! Thanks man.

[@audioreakt]

Yeah explosion are like kick on steroid in term of impact and punch, just have to shape them to fit your kick and track somehow

[@-zoave-]

Right ;)

[@seankinnun1838]

Even just 2 minutes in with the simpler and it clicked for me. Those little adjustments are what ive been trying to understand!

[@audioreakt]

Happy to hear that ! Cheers

[@mentalpressure9234]

[@aggretsuko6794]

your way to use an orchestra impacts for rumble so creative. nice trick, thanks

[@audioreakt]

You’re welcome!

[@5T45H]

Never enough Kick tutos

[@audioreakt]

Haha that’s what I think too

[@lucseegers3921]

Can you maybe once try to recreate a kick like in Reinier Zonneveld's "hard gaan"? To this day it's one of the most hard hitting kicks I've heard on big sound systems. Great video btw :)

[@el_dani]

Thanks again for sharing your knowledge and taking the video producing time! I hope Elektron takes notice for their future product development. It‘s time to step up for hardware to get such intricate plugin power. Or Ableton has to push their firmware development.

[@audioreakt]

I am dreaming of a modern drum machine or kick generator hardware… something that combine analog part for the body and samples for layering, then something already process out of the box , even if you have to put a distortion and clipper on each single element… a vst in a box basically but don’t know if it will ever happen are a lot of the hardware community seems anti vst in the box lol

[@jonckheerebart9002]

Always great to lissen at his advice Ps Paul is gonna soon get it

[@jonckheerebart9002]

I mean i gonna get it soon the way to get… you know what we talked about 😂😊😉

[@audioreakt]

Haha cheers, the things is every year kick hits harder so every year you need to improve

[@DelasVC]

Making Kicks is not "hard" in that sense - there is just a whole more posibilities for it to sound shyte than there are ones that will sound decent xD! But seriously: If you know what you're doing, producing kicks is not "hard" in that sense. It's just that it takes _a lot_ of experience to know how the details will add up so that it sounds proper in the finished music. So only if your ambition is to specifically _create your very own kickdrums_ try to get it done on your own! If what you actually want to do is producing _music_ then just do yourself a favor, save the time and stay away from fiddeling around with your "own" kicks. There are plenty of good sample packs out there already - or you could even just sample them from artists you like! Trust me, you would be surprised how many of your favorite artists do that..

[@audioreakt]

True but when I say hard I meant hitting hard, in terms of of loudness and punch but therefore also harder to emulate haha… The thing is for harder genre like this, if your kick is not sounding massive, then your track feel weak, but yeah you can now found massive kick out of sample pack nowadays

[@tommiesee]

Thanks again bro ❤

[@audioreakt]

You're welcome 😊

[@oran9etesla]

thnx for the great tutor!

[@audioreakt]

You’re welcome !

[@Kiroprimetube]

i needed this video

[@audioreakt]

Perfect then 👊

[@nth7485]

Hey, can you make a video on those acoustic panels in the background?

[@audioreakt]

I will do a studio tour at one point where I can talk about them, if you want the brand it’s called ekustik, they are pricey but good quality and look fire to me haha

[@aleksanderolender9120]

Hi, great video as always! I was wondering if Ableton removed color limiter since I can't find it now, do you know anything about that? :D

[@audioreakt]

thanks, no it's still there but you have to download the creative extension from ableton website or directly from ableton pack place. it's free, cheers

[@cryptout]

The problem is hearing when a kick is done. This takes practice and dedication. Also realizing your ears get tired really fast auditioning kicks and start to filter out the sound.

[@audioreakt]

Yeah it’s hard I reckon, like everything practice will make you better

[@jordanlam1337]

Thankyou king

[@audioreakt]

Haha cheers

[@7t598]

Thanks bro

[@audioreakt]

Welcome

[@JasonLittler]

Hi Paul, great video as always. Downloaded the Live 12 file from mediafire, however the 3 samples are not included (Kick, Clap & Perc). Is that intentional or do we have to find our own samples for the pack?

[@audioreakt]

ooops sorry mistake from my side, forgot to do collect and save. I re-uploaded it. thanks for letting me know

[@JasonLittler]

@@audioreakt My pleasure mate, love your work

[@SKRATCH1988]

I have Ableton 12. ... I have just downloaded a couple project files off the website... neither of them can be selected when I try to open the project file from the selected folder in Ableton. what am I missing? please help.

[@audioreakt]

I am not just what you mean, what type of files it is that you are trying to open ? For most template follow this : When you downlaod the zip, unzip it and you will have a file with an ALP file. You need to double click on it, it will open ableton if not already open and ask you where to extract it. Select the folder of your choice, extract, then go to you folder location and you will have an ALS file which is the session file. Double click on it and it will open the template. Let me know if you still have problems with it,

[@meno437]

Nice video!. The hard thing about modern Industrial and what i am struggeling with is the high end like i dont get it haha i am trying around but i never get it as same as Raxeller or other modern Hard Industrial. Its like very insane Full Low end but somehow there is no real punch in low end it just doesnt feel like it and when loading it in span its so messy and so much high end. It does sound similar how your industrial high end with impact but idk what they do to haromonate so well with low and high end. Nice video format i like it a lot.

[@audioreakt]

honestly I am struggling too hence why it took me so long to make that kick, and I am pretty sure pro struggle too, it is really hard to have that punchy mid high and still keep the lowas heavy too...

[@meno437]

@@audioreakt Yeah haha true man. I think some people just have the talent to do it quicker. Mine is getting closer and closer to what i want lol. Its just the finishing touches but from your videos i learn soooo much man.

[@meno437]

@@audioreakt One trick to give that fat mid is to use trash 2s convolve reverb and play with the seperate in the first dynamic "MIC" its soooo good you should try it. ON the top part of the kick

[@meno437]

​@@audioreakt I know you focus on stock plugins but idk man some paid ones are so much staright more forward. And hey man always remember you do this for fun!! :). Stay safe!

[@13kasper37]

​@@meno437 You can build your whole rumble and low end using convolutional reverb. use a punchy kick with short sustain (losing lots of, even almost all lowend) and a convolutional reverb with a bit of attack. Now you can parallel process/resample the conv. reverb and use it as foundation to build your rumble and (re) build your lowend. as per usual, tons of layering, eqinq etc. from here. hope i got the idea across.

[@schallschneider]

[@audioreakt]

✌️

[@justinheat1]

saw Adam Beyer live this weekend, the kick had a very loud click and high end sounds. i think it took away from the music imo but it's just what i noticed.

[@audioreakt]

really ? yeah might be anoying for sure haha

it's a preset I made but the whole project file is available for free, link is in the descritpion

[@thierrykucharski]

Cool

[@audioreakt]

Thanks 🙏

[@AceOfficial]

Brother I love your videos but you say make kick from SCRATCH and first thing you do is load up a sample lol. also you layer allot of other samples, this is deffinetly not from scratch. That would be using a synth or whatever to create the kick / basis kick THEN proces / layer. Also you have way more control when sythisizing your own kicks and its way more fun + unique! Still cool vid

[@audioreakt]

@@AceOfficial yeah I skipped that part because it make the video too long and boring (for most people), I already cover in another video how to create kick with operator. Don’t get me wrong but if I was really recreating everything from scratch the video would be at least 1h long , and no one would watch it…

[@IllIllIlIIlIllIllI]

Never heard a good kick from a synth

[@AceOfficial]

@@audioreakt Fair enough

[@AceOfficial]

@@IllIllIlIIlIllIllI lol what are you talking about, most good kicks comes from synths, where do you think you kick samples come from thin air? Look up for example "kick 3" plugin and let me know

[@IllIllIlIIlIllIllI]

@@AceOfficial yea i remember fiddling with kick 2 couple years ago, but i only got 1 decent kick out, which i still layered to get it gritty, (with recorded drum samples out of thin air) imo i can probably make a better kick out of a fart that i record with a good effect chain, than with that plugin, but it surely comes down to experience.

[@alienbotfarm187]

Your "free" drum pack wants my billing info, have fun!!!

[@audioreakt]

you can put a random billing info and a fake email adress if it's just that the problem

[@AlienAmbient]

Why you used samples? Bit misleading title.

[@audioreakt]

Fair enough but I also provide the samples… it’s impossible to make kick like that if at one point you don’t layer it with something…

[@JH-bf6qy]

Why don't you have made only one relevant track in your whole life? Seems like making kicks will not get anyone anywhere.... 🎉🎉🎉

[@audioreakt]

That’s the spirit!

[@Junpison]

Great tutorial :)
