[@seanrimada8571]

@@ManfredGerhard dude i meant the very first Lex Luger kit, that was only on pair by the Timbaland one and Trapaholics... but tbh I learned the definition of an 808 by using that kit and remixing old songs with trap drums. I think I was 16 or something, Lex Luger is a legend and yet so young

I remember how revolutionary Lex Luger’s sound was around 2010. Dirty South dance anthems were replaced by Hard Trap music because of this man.

Notice how Lex kept everything simple and kept it moving forward. That isn't because he can't do complex things either; being able to move a workflow like this takes a lot of discipline and experience.

Just bought the Maschine Software 2 after brushing the dust on a used Mikro mk2. These drums from their expansions hit hard, I got the Ultimate 14 and that comes with many. They fill like completed sounds and studio ready. Not like the sample packs from the edm world, many companies just fill with crappy drums to sell packs. But Native Instruments Expansions are no joke, they feel and sound like the real deal.

Reverb on an 808?!? Blasphemy on this of holy 808 days!! (It sounds great…)

[@danewav1]

He meant by 808 all his drum sounds because he added the reverb to the rim not to the 808 bass

[@shrednut]

@@danewav1 I’m not sure that’s true mate, he specifically says 808s (meaning the bass note specifically) and then plays one to demonstrate. It works great as long as you take out the low end of the reverb. Makes them sound a bit less upfront and more epic. I’m aware not all bangy synth bass sounds are 808s but that is the modern usage rather than the rest of the drum sounds. Kids today eh…? 🙄
