    I'm learning producing now for a few month, since I signed up for one of those Music Production Courses. The content in these courses is really helpful. But this tutorial, you have created here, is by far the most helpful and detailed explanation I've seen so far. All those Kick Drum guides included in the course I booked, are not even close to what you have done here. Of course they explained, that the Kick consists of three parts and how important those parts are or what range of frequency they cover. But the beauty and dedication you put into explaining it in detail is quite impressive. Thank you!

    Recently I’ve been geeking out analyzing kick waves with scopes and realized just how critical the pitch changes are to the final product and style. I knew of Kick 2 already just hadn’t gotten the time to evaluate it. Once I checked it out I was thrilled to see it’s just about exactly what I wanted.
    One slightly weird thing, though, is that the envelopes don’t line up with the wave. I’d like to see an option for that direct visual connection between the node points of the envelope and the wave.
    Overall I love this synth - great vid!

After watching this video I've started my first track where I've made the kick on KICK 2 and having so much more control over shaping the sound and also being able to automate the settings to create builds and move things about when and if you want is amazing and i dont think ill be searching for kick samples anymore .

    @marceloribeirosimoes8959 2 года назад

    This program is really cool.
    The issue in this program is that we can't mimic the real 808 kick lick.
    The real one starts with a fast but curved single half-cycle but Kick 2 can not easily mimic that because it seems to presume that every kick needs a dozen cycles in that transient region.
    So if you try to design that too simple 808 kick click you'll notice that it's almost impossible...
    Kick 2 is a great tool!
    A bit hard to deal when trying mimic a kick but a great kick synth, maybe the best one.

  • @isellcrack3537
    @isellcrack3537 Год назад

    11:00 not necessarily...I mean it depends on the genre of music you are making. IDM kickdrums for example often have a notable pitch sweep and in Flashcore one of the main characteristics is kicks with very pronounced pitch sweep.

    • @isellcrack3537
      @isellcrack3537 2 года назад

      I don`t want to sound rude but it just feels really weird that a sound designer would ask such a question... But to answer your question - no you can`t use this plugin to sculpt whatever sound you want. As the name implies it`s specifically aimed at programing kicks. You need a synth plugin in order to design more versatile sounds. Subtractive synths are the most "basic" ones but will sill get you pretty far. Wavetable is more complex same goes for FM, additive and modular. A lot of DAWs have some or all of these synths as native plugins. With paid plugins ofc you can get synths that combine several or all types of synthesis. They will cost you quite a lot some are actually more expensive than most DAWs.
      Vital is a free plugin that came out a couple of ears ago and has become one of the most popular and widely used soft synths and for a good reason at that. Just look up sound design tutorials of ppl using it here on youtube and you`ll see what it is capable of (assuming you aren`t using it already that is.)
