Running a subwoofer; I started to roll off the low @20hz. I looked at my speaker specs - which stated my sub response is down to 20hz - so theres my logic - roll off what the speaker won’t reproduce… Imagine my surprise when after rolling off the low end; my sub bass became full and much more powerful I don’t really hear people mention this. The difference was like night & day Pretty exciting actually 😆
@@OscarUnderdog nice that you told her that :) and yes we all need more love haha.. Maybe I will book one of your courses some day, I will prepare some stuff, money and questions ;)
Wow, you have awesome students! I actually liked the last kick as it was originally, I would just put another very bassy 4/4 kick under it and just use the original kick as sort of industrial pseudo-bass-line.
Your a good teacher i was at a music college around the year 2000 and remember getting chastised for playing with distorted sounds on monitors you are doing well
The best for hardtechno kicks? Good 909 and Saturation! Ableton Sat on Hard or analog an crank that drive up. To add an Overdrive Layer of your Main sample can also give some more drive. An top Layer for punching through the mix is sometimes also useful
This one was the coolest and most creative one for me, would be so cool to have the dirt come in during some high energy moments or after a break - so awesome
Your student sounds like she is a lover of gabber/hardstyle! Kick one sounded the most "mainstream", but I liked her use of EQ's to try to get that "harder" sound.
Im waaaay late to the party but kick three was running super hot/clipping within the signal chain. I thought youre not supposed to do that, as it also introduces distortion but i might be wrong... sounded fat tho😂
Her accompanying texture is nice. The delay on the third layer spoils everything for my taste, it makes it cheap and compromises the depth of the other layer. A different timing and filter delay may have worked.
Kick 3 cut the sub frequencies behind the fundamental with a final eq. Kick 4 sounds high passed I like to put a small shelf boost at 110hz; cut everything behind the fundamental frequency, usually use max 4live colour limiter on the end of my chains
Please reconsider your use of background music (or at least the level of it) as you’re speaking. Unlike many others on YT what you have to say is actually interesting and informative ...so why the distraction?

One of my favorite techno producers once told me - “Just steal your favorite kick from your favorite track”. I never looked back. 😂

She's very talented I would say.. Amazing how she really emphasises and adds pleasing frequencies to all that.. I would say I learned a lot from her..
I relayed your wonderful comment to her, she was very happy 😄✌ keep spreading that love!❤

Nice idea!
i saw everything! i am going deep to your videos, from the oldest to new. nice!

I love these indepth analysis from work from your students. Especially making signature kicks is hard. Very usefull content thank you!
Liked Kick 3 the most. Great video with useful tips!

Love the "dirt" on kick 3!
This one was the coolest and most creative one for me, would be so cool to have the dirt come in during some high energy moments or after a break - so awesome
The third kick was damnnnn great without erosion
Your student sounds like she is a lover of gabber/hardstyle! Kick one sounded the most "mainstream", but I liked her use of EQ's to try to get that "harder" sound.
i'm really interested in who that musician is who sent you the kicks. i'm very curious to hear complete tracks of her. meets my taste a lot :)
Thanks ocscar
Thank you very much for another great tutorial video!!!
Kick Three gives me early Ant-Zen vibes, i.e. Synapsescape, Asche, Converter et al.
First kick drum actually sounds like Rebekah.
I love how you just commented a mistake in kick programming by "now what you're getting is beating" thats real Fletcher from Whiplash energy
for kick 3: what about rolling off those ultra lows after the erosion?
I know I'm late, but wouldn't the massive DC offset in kick #3 be problematic?
Yes, phasing issues
Good student you've got - Kick 4 could just have a low sub/-bass

watch out for frequency 0, it does actually make a difference.
I see that a lot of thoses kick's have dc offset on the meter can you fix that easily ?
High pass filter (like a x4) at 20Hz
It's a dotted eighth note not a triplet feel.
Kick 3 cut the sub frequencies behind the fundamental with a final eq.
Kick 4 sounds high passed
I like to put a small shelf boost at 110hz; cut everything behind the fundamental frequency, usually use max 4live colour limiter on the end of my chains
Your student sounds a lot like isabellas twisted fantasy
Kick 3 rocksx
You could've just upped the first bar on harmonics to bring the sub back, my dude.

I can see no problem here o.O . I always use studio headphones for listening these videos so separation is clear. What you use to listen these videos?
I reckon she was monitoring through laptop speakers...
Nah, she's advanced enough to know that's no good.
