The KICK SUB-BASS generator TRICK in Cubase 9.5

[@DjentlyVISUALS]

BUILD THIS MAN A STATUE! I´ve tried so much. I doubled the kick track, played around with the lows in the EQ on the sub track, nothing really satisfied me. And here comes Chris and saves the day... or the year... or time :-D thanks dude. This really improves my kick sound much!

[@themancable]

This is a classic old trick, thanks for the concise explanation! You can also check the tuning using the new Frequency EQ in Cubase, has a keyboard for checking/finding the desired pitch. The standard EQ also displays the pitch when you click on the FFT.

[@mixdownonline]

Yep, Frequency as the keyboard feature which is great!

[@sj4392]

My mind is just blown Thank you have been trying to find something like this for edm to kicks

[@IsaacYongMusic]

I had kind of improvised this when I realised my beatbox kicks aren't as punchy as I like. I actually took a kick sample, copy the MIDI over and low pass everything over 50 Hz. The frequency chart and the Test Generator would really help a lot, thanks Chris!

[@mixdownonline]

You're welcome!

[@renevanderbruggen731]

Thanks a lot this helped a lot I - was looking for a very easy way to generate a Sine wave to add to my Kick without having to use a sample or Synth

[@jenchon2063]

Thanks so much, you saved me sooooo much time, i was trying to figure this out for weeks! You're my new guru

[@thierrymeuris8042]

Forgot how to do this on my Cubase 5.5 , but now it's back again!!! Thanks Chris!!!

[@kademusicofficial]

Awesome. EXACTLY what I needed. Perfectly explained. THANK YOU :)

[@starsandguitars2050]

Thanks Chris. I have been trying to develop my home brew version of a UBK-1 compressor. I was working through the saturation, compression, and density flavors using mostly Cubase stock plugs but it was still missing something. I think this may be just the trick to add the movement I need. Later i may try to switch in an 1176 and Neve 33609 emulation to get the sound closer. Thank you so much.

[@mixdownonline]

Cool stuff Joe, I worked with the UBK-1 compressor before, really like the vibe of this compressor.

[@Bhavik_Patel.]

Thanks Chris... you are really shaping others creations just awesome by this kind of tips/videos... God Bless you always...

[@mixdownonline]

God Bless you too man!

[@jajahmahn7083]

The is mind blowing, what i always wanted, but let me ask...how often do you use this trick, what are the alternatives to achieving the same thing...

[@mixdownonline]

I don't use this on all mixes cause I also use a sub kick sample, but I do use this 50% of the time

[@vonotebook]

Excellent trick dear Chris !

[@mixdownonline]

Thanks :-)

[@TravelChimp]

great video mate. Still learning cubase Keep them coming

[@studioamirnaili]

Merci bcp c top

[@danielvest89]

Great. thanks for sharing! Very useful technique :)

[@mixdownonline]

Of course! Glad it was useful!

[@mjbabyboy79]

Thanks, I learnt so much. I love the sound the generator produced but is there an Cubase instrument that can create the same sound? Then I can change notes throughout a song more easily

[@mixdownonline]

Not that I think of. You can automate the generator plugin to change frequency that represent your bass note.

[@ShantiMaria]

You saved my tracks 💙 thank youuu

[@mixdownonline]

You're welcome!

[@heavymetalmixer91]

Have you heard about the Metric Halo Thump? It's a free plugin made for this purpose (though I don't use it too often).

[@mixdownonline]

Never heard of it! I'll try to check it out! Thanks!

[@claudius3124]

Nice trick! I use it sometimes.. I also do it but with some kind of noise generator that I can tune to add some hi frequency texture to the sound.... ;-) Thanks Chris and have a super nice week :-)

[@mixdownonline]

Doing the same with a noise generator (higher frequency) on a snare drum can be very cool too!

[@smathbeatz]

you are good Chris

[@stix2slivers]

Thanks Chris for your instruction and help, I guess part II to this would be how to add a kick drum part from a drum machine? anyways thanks for your awesome educational information. Cheers Bruce

[@mixdownonline]

You're welcome, Bruce!

[@abangkis]

AwesomE!!!!! Thanks Chris !

[@realmusic4you]

Thanks Chris, Really helpful Tut! Thanks also for the frequency chart.

[@mixdownonline]

You're welcome my friend!

[@faisalzaki6973]

thank u for this amazing trick :)

[@mixdownonline]

Most welcome 😊

[@korkenknopfus]

Nice technique. I think if I self would invented it, I would thought it was a crazy idea and then forgotten it 😅. Maybe one can mix more frequencies, two or three, for example. I guess too that the advice to use a frequency that is correspondent to the tone of the song has more meaning by electronic music.

[@mixdownonline]

It does indeed have a lot of meaning in electronic music, thanks for watching

[@kadirokader3749]

Merci CHRIS super astuce ....

[@suryamogali78]

This technique z mind blowing 💖 thank you so much Chris💐

[@mixdownonline]

You're welcome my friend!

[@ricc333]

Very awesome, man. I think I can use this on something I'm working on. Keep up the awesome work!

[@mixdownonline]

Thanks for watching

[@StephenAntKneeBk5]

Great technique, Chris. Thanks for sharing this. I'm on Cubase Pro 9.0.40. Qs. Are you using 0.0 dB for the Send Level? Do you ever use the Range or Internal Side Chain of the gate in this context? I experimented with both and found I could get more "beater" type punch with some settings. Lastly, I notice you use -12 for the TG Output (default), any reason to use stronger or weaker signals? -12 worked great for me, just wondering? The kick really "owns" the bass with this. Thanks again. :-)

[@sub4037]

Thank you Chris for the frequency chart. very handy to have! Cheers SUB403

[@mixdownonline]

Happy the chart is handy :-)

[@thanoskalentinis826]

You are great! Thank you for this trick!

[@Flories10000]

Great trick. Wouldn't it be more easy to use a synth with a sine & feed it with actual midi notes following the chords/arrangement? No need for notes to frequency convertor charts nor automation of the pitch of the sine for base note switches...

[@mixdownonline]

Sure, why not :-)

[@Electricowlworks]

Great video, Chris! I do the same thing in Reaper. Don't tell my clients, haha.

[@mixdownonline]

[@musicbydavidyoungs]

I thought my kick sounded pretty good until I tried this. Excellent, thanks!

[@mixdownonline]

Great to hear! Rock On!

[@giorgiosale639]

Hi everybody! Someone knows if this technique is used on modern country? Like Kip Moore, Keith Urban, stuff like that. Cause I think of earing something really low when the kick hit on those songs but I'm not sure. I play the same genre but I don't know if using this technique I make a mistake. Maybe someone could listen to one of the songs on Kip Moore's last album and tell me if there's a sub kick sound? Thank you ☺️🙏

So i dont normally fimd stuff i dont know about the daw anymore but this was one of the few. Awesome thanks a d do t forget to constatly zip on water. When making your videos and keep that mic a little off set so stiky cottonmouth noices dont come out so strong just a thought

[@pierrebaillargeon2911]

im running cubase 10 elements and i dont have the test generator. is there another way ?

[@mixdownonline]

You can get a free tone generator plugin like this one www.meldaproduction.com/MOscillator I never tried it though

As far as I know, I used Cubase in this video...The Pro version is still Cubase. Nothing misleading here

@@mixdownonline you said cubase 9.5 Not everyone has the pro version since only in pro is sidechain available
