I get where you're coming from-trusting your ears is definitely key in music production. This tutorial is meant to be beginner-friendly, showing step-by-step which parameters to tweak to get a good sounding rumble in just 5 minutes. It gives beginners a starting point, and from there, they can start relying more on their ears as they get more comfortable. Hope that helps, and thanks for watching!
@@BruceMennelyeah cool and great work you’re doing. I just feel sometimes people lose the purpose when it gets very mechanical. Might be just me though!

**Sidechain Compression for Clarity:** Use sidechain compression with the kick as the trigger to ensure the kick punches through the rumble.
**Compressor Ratio Settings:** Use a high ratio (around 10:1) on the sidechain compressor to create a stronger ducking effect.
**Test in Mono:** Always test your mix in mono to ensure the kick and rumble work together even on mono playback systems.
**Tighten Low-End with Utility:** Use Ableton's Utility to make your low-end mono for better focus in club sound systems.
**Frequency Matching:** Check the kick’s fundamental frequency with a spectrum analyzer to help match it with the rumble for better blending.
**High-Pass Filtering:** Always high-pass your rumble at around 40 Hz to avoid sub-bass mud.
Man, what a convoluted way to teach a rumble kick.
Ears are best instead of dialling in parameters
