TRICK for more BIG LOWEND bass Drum / Kick drum for mixing.

[@Stu.6]

Bonkers

[@mannysmiclocker]

Thrilled you enjoyed Stu!

[@MikeGervasi]

Wow..learning from Albini. He's like a Professor in the studio. And crazy technique I would have never thought of. What it does in essence is add resonance, same as if the front head was less baffled and ringing.

[@mannysmiclocker]

Same here lol it’s like Audio Black Magic :)

[@mannysmiclocker]

Hope you dig this cool alternative to adding low end to a Kick Drum. Let me know any cool tips you and can share.

[@tvmind2000]

That's HUGE! Great technique. It will be in my trick bag now! I love using parallel tracks!

[@mannysmiclocker]

Thrilled and yes mess around as it’s all to taste ;)

[@ThisCreepingLife]

That sounds great! I'm recording a Trip Hop album and this is going to become useful. Thanks

[@mannysmiclocker]

That’s awesome and I’ve never. Iced or recorded that style! Let me know how it goes! Appreciated you sharing.

[@navasaband]

Albini is the definitive channel foldback/feedback champ.

[@mannysmiclocker]

He’s the Man and has been like 30 years lol

[@micha_el0815]

Wow, really awesome! 🥹🫶 Thank you! 🙏

[@mannysmiclocker]

Thanks for tuning in ;)

[@rekindle]

Great video - this is a wild technique, I never would have thought of this - thanks Manny!

[@mannysmiclocker]

It’s a weird one for sure but thrilled it can work for making a cool alternative to the normal way to add low end ;)

[@AnthonyStudio]

Mind blown, cuz! Never would have thought of doing that without your sharing. I dig it, thank you!

[@mannysmiclocker]

Cuz much appreciated! Thanks for sharing and let me know how it goes ;)

[@MorzakEV]

I saw you mention this before, probably on warrens channel, but I was listening on my phone, and never got chance to hear it properly. Now I’m listening to it on a good system, and it’s awesome! Beautiful bass!

[@mannysmiclocker]

Thanks for giving it a second try ;)

[@ElmoSyr]

Great tip! I remember doing this on a snare track but had forgot about it!

[@mannysmiclocker]

Now that’s an idea🎉

[@el_ambient_dude7424]

Thanks Manny! Always great to hear your thoughts and ideas!

[@mannysmiclocker]

Always appreciated!

[@billyhughes9776]

This is a great trick. Like adding a nice shiny, pillowy coating. I think it would work really well stylistically for certain songs. Those fuzz guits are happening too -- Thanks Manny!

[@mannysmiclocker]

Yes! Thrilled you dig Billy and yeah those panned distorted basses rule!

[@surgerywithoutknives2353]

Thanks for the sharing a really cool trick , but even with it off that kick drum really bangs !!!!

[@mannysmiclocker]

Yea it’s kinda win win use or not and does matter on kind of music or how does it sit against bass guitar! Appreciate you sharing

[@arronsondrini380]

Manny’s got a KZbin channel!! Nice excited for what’s to come!!!

[@mannysmiclocker]

Yes Sir!!!! Thanks for checking in!

[@Joey-rp5vg]

Hey Manny great to see you have your own channel. Really happy to see you here. Great tips, cheers Manny. Subscribed!!!!

[@mannysmiclocker]

Thanks Joey and much appreciated the shout out!!! We are all in the same boat my man!

[@POGFROGULPOP]

Nice one Manny. Great trick.

[@mannysmiclocker]

Thrilled you enjoyed and it’s a strange one lol

[@coldacre]

I havent seen that Mac keyboard since my old G4 Powermac!! cool to see one still kickin' - nice tip man, all the best

[@mannysmiclocker]

Ha yeah it’s weird but I love the space of the Keys for edits …now that’s old school!

[@sonicpalacevideos]

Nice trick, it sounds more natural the adding a sine wave or sample, thanks!

[@mannysmiclocker]

Yea totally usable or not. Hopefully maybe it can be used on a few songs a record but not all .

[@milosherman]

a plugin like Bassmint can achieve this effect very easily! and has a mix knob and great controls

[@mannysmiclocker]

Totally agree!

[@princey__]

Man, that's cool. I'm takin' notes again, Mr. Manny. ;o)

[@mannysmiclocker]

Wicked and appreciated!

[@BrockBarr]

Epic technique. Could be used on snare too probably

[@mannysmiclocker]

Now that’s an idea?!

[@Bass734]

Thats insane! So many cool tricks to learn and not enough time haha

[@mannysmiclocker]

Yes I feel The same ;)

[@xyanide1986]

That's really interesting to "abuse" the tools to add a low-end feedback loop that will decay on its own. Will remember that. The music sounds great too.

[@mannysmiclocker]

Thanks for tuning in and sharing comment!

[@TheGarageRecordingSC]

Awesome trick!! Every time I use sub synth generators, and things like that it always ends up, sounding a little too chubby. That kick drum sounded fat and massive!!

[@mannysmiclocker]

It’s nice to have that option and totally blend friendly

[@tootory9506]

A bit confusing in the explanation, but zooming in on the session I can see what's going on there.. If I see correct, you're sending from the original kick drum to two identical busses both buses haventhe same identical, EQ and settings... And then the first of the two identical buses has a send on it that is set, to send to the same 2 identical boxes - The first of the two buses does have an extra plug-in before the pro Q and it's a EQ3 1-Band I'm guessing you tried that one first and didn't like it and left it there ??

[@mannysmiclocker]

Sorry about That .. Ok start with your main kick from OG channel coming out of the stereo mix then make an auxiliary sending original kick to the auxiliary and have that coming out of the stereo. Then make that tEQ on that auxiliary one then send that out to a auxiliary2 same Eq duplicated then the output of that auxiliary 2 goes back into the auxiliary 1 and that makes the oscillation almost kind of like a Feedback EQ. I hope that’s better

[@tootory9506]

@@mannysmiclocker oh, thank you so much you're the best! get it now. Can't wait to try this out, it really does sound powerful and super unique.. Like you said it has that tape/harmonic/vintage tone!

[@babysunn2]

That was a Thick and Punchy Kick to My Likings... I'll Try it.

[@mannysmiclocker]

Awesome! Doesn’t work all the time but when it does Ha look out ;)

[@mchamerhead]

great vid sir thank you! i would shape the sustain with an elysia nvelope if necessary, also i have a mic comparison video where i compare diferent dynamic mics including sm57 and md241 couple of kick mics also and no mic had a low end like the prodipe drm kd eaven touching the mic cable would be fkin with the sound, wanted to tell you about it since i seen your video with warren, i always wondered if im just a mic layman person or was that mic really special, i also want to know if any other mic does that, becouse it was my first kick mic so i bought more after that and to my surprise none of them gave me this bass bump

[@mannysmiclocker]

Well I gotta check that out! Much appreciated you sharing and yeah we can only try every record to be better and not be lazy lol Always try to your best.

[@bugmanuk]

Love that, almost like modular synthesis. Sounds BIG. Love your guitars too Manny, and where can I get a Chavez Ravine cap?!

[@mannysmiclocker]

Aw man thanks! It’s actually a 1 off a bud made but maybe time to makes some more lol appreciated you checking out🎉

[@bucalemu5473]

Anyone know how to mimic this technique in Ableton Live (suite 9 to be exact). I keep getting it to feedback/overload the input/output within the DAW making it unusable. I tried creating separate tracks, using return channels and messing with the “send knob” in the return tracks itself. The signal flow is correct, but it keeps acting up. Anyone else ran into this issue? Thanks!

[@mannysmiclocker]

Sounds like you’re doing it right because that’s what happens to me and I just lower all the threshold so the feedback isn’t happening but you can see the sound wave push out air

[@bucalemu5473]

⁠@@mannysmiclocker OK. I’ll report back and see if lowering the threshold helped. I thought I was going crazy when implementing that technique. Glad I’m not the only one who ran into the same problem. Thanks Manny!

[@johnseals4862]

Cool technique, Manny. Sick guitar tone. What pedals are you using. Many thanks.

[@mannysmiclocker]

Thanks and I’m pretty sure it’s all in the hands of the guitarest . The singer played most instrumentals as I played some as well but not so obvious stuff. He used a music man small amp 2x12 combo and some earth Quaker pedals

[@AnodyneHipsterInfluencer]

Oh _HELL_ yea bro. Thicker than a bowl of oatmeal.

[@mannysmiclocker]

Ha I actually had Oatmeal while I was editing this last night Ha?!
