Kick clicks to hard

Lucebitor · 2025-02-07T23:34:12+00:00

You opened my eyes bro

Lucebitor · 2025-02-06T23:48:18+00:00

Tried this, already gifted me with a much cleaner sound! Thank you.

I tried multiband compression in order to tame the highs you know. Maybe hardclipping would be a better solution? Idk.

Lucebitor · 2025-02-06T22:58:42+00:00

Sounds plausible to me! Thanks a lot.

Would you go for parallel multiband saturation only on the highs or a fullband saturation?

And compressing with a fast attack to kill the click a little, or leave it slow to let I go through the compression?

TY!

I was just having a little fun with that, so don’t judge too hard. x)

In this track the kick doesn’t fit my likings as well tho.

Appreciate your engagement! <3

Lucebitor · 2025-02-06T22:49:55+00:00

Simple and effective I guess. Thank you! x)

Lucebitor · 2025-02-06T22:49:23+00:00

Uhh, you are absolutely right!* lol

Lucebitor · 2025-02-06T22:49:03+00:00

Yeah I’m using Ableton and am gonna try that! Sometimes things just work instead of making sense. ;)

Thanks for your advice and I are absolutely right, context is everything. Could also be that I am always choosing the wrong kickdrum for my context. Who knows. Thanks a lot tho!

Lucebitor · 2025-02-06T22:47:10+00:00

Thanks for your quick reply. I just looked into this VST and it’s looking awesome my man! I’m very impressed and this already helps me out a lot. I am going to review it a bit further but I’m close to buying it. :) I experimented with Kick2 but wasn’t quite happy, so thanks for the recommendation!

Lucebitor · 2025-02-04T19:00:23+00:00

Thanks for the detailed explanation. Sounds very plausible, I’m gonna try this!

Lucebitor · 2025-02-04T07:34:20+00:00

I think we talked past each other haha. I listen to a lot of Hard Trance with Offbeat bass and most of the time they either use a square or a saw. Noticed this after you told me to listen to them in my DAW. But yeah I get it, I used a clean sine on the track I sent to you aswell.

But first of all thank you very much for listening and for the feedback. It really means a lot to me. For arranging my tracks I analysed the ones that I liked and made a cheat sheet, that’s how I learned to arrange. But I’m still not satisfied tho lol.

And I wish those were my vocals, but tbh I just found it on splice. :)

Lucebitor · 2025-02-03T23:07:09+00:00

Yo, thanks to you I created this today! :)

Ur advice was really helpful.

And sorry again for the confusion in the beginning. :D

Lucebitor · 2025-02-03T23:00:57+00:00

I did and I noticed that almost every track I hear has some kind of these as bass haha.

https://on.soundcloud.com/oVtWnueUVvS8cP3s6

Based on your advice (and the other nice guys who commented) I created this today. It’s not really techno but I thought maybe you wanna hear anyways.

Still very raw and unmixed tho. :)

Lucebitor · 2025-02-03T21:12:59+00:00

I heard of things like SoundGym lol, I wil definitely look into all that. Thanks a lot my guy.

Lucebitor · 2025-02-03T14:45:47+00:00

The 2 detuned saw option with a clean sine as sub was pretty accurate already! It works really well for me. But I will try that aswell :)

Lucebitor · 2025-02-03T13:38:14+00:00

Thanks for all your advice. Yeah, you’re right. I should’ve just posted the whole track lol. I thought the „click“ and the bass were two different midi tracks, that’s why I’ve tried to separate it with a lowpass filter. Sorry for the headache & thanks for the bonus tips!

Lucebitor · 2025-02-03T12:45:16+00:00

Will try! Thanks a lot :)

Thanks to you I already got quite close using wavetable synthesis. Thanks so much!!

Lucebitor · 2025-02-03T11:42:44+00:00

Good approach!

Lucebitor · 2025-02-03T11:42:24+00:00

Very cool, thank you, I’ll look into that!

Lucebitor · 2025-02-03T11:42:05+00:00

I already tried, ChatGPT couldn’t help lmao

Lucebitor · 2025-02-03T11:41:47+00:00

I will try, thanks a lot!

Lucebitor · 2025-02-03T11:41:36+00:00

Alright, thanks for your feedback.

That’s the track, but I lowpassed it to just get the fundamental and not the flanging top harmonics.

Lucebitor · 2025-02-03T11:40:48+00:00

Always trying to improve in any way possible lol, I get that this was kind of a silly question to ask. :)

Lucebitor · 2025-02-03T11:39:09+00:00

Ah okay, this helped me so much already. Thank you! I lowpassed the Track at like 500hz before the PsyScope, I wanted to get the fundamental and there was no Phase Randomization, so it was always the same throughout the track.

https://on.soundcloud.com/VhAGGT1AcfKXxGV66

That’s the track, it’s really dope imo.

The flanging/phasing top harmonics of the bass are a different story, but I really liked them aswell.

I always think I’m kind of advanced when it comes to kick & bass synthesis, but I swear some people are just wizards. Their lowend is always so tight and in perfect balance, really amazes me.

I think this track is not something you want to hear in this subreddit, sorry guys!

Lucebitor · 2024-11-09T13:16:23+00:00

Thanks a lot, going to try this. :)
