Why a KICK can MAKE or BREAK your song?

[@HenningUhle]

Soooooooo, Leo... I've finally made it to your channel. I've watched a few videos here. And for this video I have my few cents. I'm currently thinking about baking the 3, 4, 5 kicks that I normally use into my Ableton template. I thought about my process of choosing the kick. And I normally end up with just the same kicks. So, I could go ahead and bake them into the template. I've tried to tune the kick to the root note of the track because this and that dude told the audience that this would make a cleaner sound. Surprise, it doesn't. It only consumes time and stops your creative process. When I work on a track, I have a simple idea and want to work it out. If I would begin fiddling around with nobs to tune everything to absolutely fitting, it would make the song lose character and would block my process. Leaving the kick as it is is a good idea to make electronic music a bit more human. Yeah, I know this sounds funny. When I experiment with saturation, I sometimes use the Drum Buss and feed kick and bass into it. This is sometimes useful to gel both instruments a bit more together. But normally, it is not necessary. And now, my friend, I leave a follow here. 😇

Sample them here

[@AbstraktMusicLab]

Hell yeah to sample

[@onlinescammer8291]

Do we really need more people hyperfocusing on kick sound design?

[@a-logicofficial6864]

Yes because a kick is the main element in most dance music. A kick, clap and off hat is the backbone of any house and techno song. So yes... you should hyperfocus on those elements

[@onlinescammer8291]

@@a-logicofficial6864 that'll definitely relieve the monotony that dance music so often falls into. :(

[@AbstraktMusicLab]

It's not about hyperfocusing on Kick. I don't hyperfocus on it and that's why I sample it, but many people do hyperfocus on it, believe it or not!

[@AbstraktMusicLab]

hell yeah!!
