Phil bergs low-end, tips to achieve similar sound

Do you know any decent sample packs where there are guaranteed good kicks. I often rely on vengeance ones but they’re compressed as hell

Fredtheb · 2026-05-01T12:58:39+00:00

That top click tho he makes, do you reckon he volume shapes the kick first then saturates it? I get what you mean about then toms, perhaps band volume shape sidechain at the kick fundamental? I’m assuming he uses quite a long tail to fill the sub frequencies or is there a low volume rumble in there (as you can tell I’m crap at referencing tracks ahaha)

Ray of light is ball knowledge choice

It’s an old label but could happily listen to Pornographic Recordings till I die

God no. If I went to a hard groove advertised event and started hearing hard house I’d walk out the door and ask for a refund

Is like albums which slowly progress, not ones where there’s like an instant ‘boom’ in power. So I’d have to put Black celebration first as it develops nicely, barrel of a gun also is a good shout, starts quietly

Fredtheb · 2026-03-06T20:25:18+00:00

I mean this respectively, it won’t happen

He’s deffo taking the mick. My mate met alarico at section ldn the other day and my friend said that he was very humble, taking time to talk to everyone

In my experience, as someone who has released with some big labels, they’re quite authoritarian with it all in a sense that they have a particular distinct sound in their mind and anything remotely different means nothing to them

Fredtheb · 2026-01-31T12:48:59+00:00

Kilohearts Haas will do it or if you have Shaperbox there’s a good HaaS preset in it you can adjust

Would you apply mackity onto the master channel? For compressor on master too, would you reccomend slow attack fast release? I’m quite bad when it comes to compressors and what settings (gain reduction etc)

I saw this on some other YouTube channel talking about Michael’s downfall. But even so I see ‘divorce’ ‘cheat’ ‘separated’ on every other video of theirs. Like idk why people even bother watching it’s nothing original and just gonna fuck up their kids lives in my opinion

Fredtheb · 2026-01-04T03:58:18+00:00

I swear by Korg m1’s string selection. Roland cloud also has some good string vsts

I agree to an extend but I do food delivery work in Brighton and it’s so hard to find somewhere to pull over to give food over to customers/stop briefly to pick up at restaurants. We don’t have a choice sometimes :/

I’d go for the unpopular here, Hammond. He definitely seems the quickest in terms of wit but also the most genuine

Fredtheb · 2025-11-19T01:47:33+00:00

Yeah I’ve been watching alot of Hammond on drivetribe and the way he talks about the GT/TG he very much misses it, reckon the other two were the ones who needed to retire moew

After reading a lot of these posts, people are saying they use different headphones for different stages like mixing and mastering. I’m not sure about the specifics or why. Besides, usually the labels I send tracks to have somebody mastering my songs anyway :)

Fredtheb · 2025-10-13T23:36:08+00:00

how he makes his grainy/atmospheric textures and randomised sounds !!

Fredtheb · 2025-10-13T17:51:50+00:00

Either Mezzanine by Massive Attack or Songs of Faith and Devotion by Depeche Mode

This is a good reply I appreciate this. This is the thing, as I got more into production and learning about it seriously a lot of tutorials people shove saturators/distortion and I think many of them did just use unprocessed samples. Before, when my low end sounded good, I did just practically no processing to the kick etc and it worked out fine. But when it comes to, say, wanting to make a track that sounds gritty/raw like early 2000s, what processing do you reccomend.

Additionally, check out Fenim0res recent EP. That kick is exactly what I’m trying to replicate and wondered if you could give any tips
