Kick Drum Sound...

[ruifa]

Hi,
I wonder which kick drum you use to play live... any opinions?
Im looking for a deep but present drum kick sound that works perfect with small speakers and 15" subwoofers and for almost any kind of music..
It can be ROM ou user samples.

Thanks to all!

No one uses kick dum sounds….

Most good mixes use 3 kicks. Top kick for the snap and the highs, punch kick for the low end and body, sub kick for the rumble. The kick and bass need to be paired. Try retuning the kick and balancing it to the bass track. Side chain the bass to the kick with control 11 or shift the bass start time a few ms. Check the mids range of the kick and change the frequency if necessary. Shorten the decay time to lessen the rumble.

You can put multiple notes in the same spot. You can assign any ROM or RAM sample to any note in a kit and then play it in or step record.
