Thanks for making this tutorial, really appreciate your effort. I followed along and got a similar result, using FL Studio and the stock compressor (all other plugins I had). But the result I got was ok. The click on the transient was a little harsh for me, so I eq'd it a little. I'm not sure I love the result overall compared to other basses I've written, but I guess I liked the way you explained everything, and I'm inclined to check out your course. One question I have is how your waveform looked like it had much more sustain than mine, once I held the note on my midi controller the note nearly went to silence after one 1/4 note but I can see your does not, why?
With pleasure! Glad you enjoyed this tutorial 😌 It’s all a matter of what bpm you’re using, and how long are your envelopes, and how much they control the filters cutoff. I’ll recommend you go back and forth and adjust both envelopes and filters cutoff until you’re happy with the click and the length of the note. Another plugin you can use to soften the click a little is Disperser (if you have it) but with really minimal amount. If you’re still struggling with the the length of the note, I’m happy to jump on a zoom call to sort it out! Regarding my course, it’s 50% off for a limited time using the code SUMMER50 ☺️
I wouldn’t say waste of time, this technique is useful for beginners that just want a good kick so they can focus on finishing a track. But if you had to choose between Kick 2 and Audija KickDrum, which one would you go for?
@@impulsecontrol I haven't used Kick 2, I use Audija because it was cheaper and in my opinion much more intuitive interface. I also want to support the developer and I expect great things in the future from them. I use also the Audija Oscope as my oscilloscope plugin
@@impulsecontrolIt’s a time saver IF you want to replicate a kick from a track you like, which is point of video, esp if kick isn’t near e.g out of box 909 with zero processing.
This assumes you know the sound you want, and how to make it. Whilst both those tools are great ( I have kick2, but AKD looks easier) synthesis is still what I'd consider advanced, primarily because if you get it wrong it breaks the whole track. So, it's not something new producers should just jump straight in to. Personally I think it's easier to just go to splice or loopcloud and buy a whole load of kicks and find the one that slots in to your track the best. Much like bass and presets. Spending time synthesising from scratch is the most efficient way to kill any creativity or inspiration when starting a track. That said, being able to deconstruct a kick as shown in the video still has value, /especially/ if you're learning about kick synthesis.
A fresh new psytrance tutorial. Nice work man love it 🫶
Glad you think so 😌
Great stuff, thank you 🙏
With pleasure 😌

@@impulsecontrol hey thanks so much for the offer, I really appreciate it! Definitely going to check out the course ☺
@@jezzakanezzaWith pleasure! Let me know if you have any questions.
Where'd all your other videos go?
They’re all unlisted, will be posting Psytrance only content from now on
waste of time on the kick, use Kick 2 or Audija KickDrum, save the preset, and you can change the pitch... it's 2024 not 2008 😅

@@acidbubbles419Thanks, that’s really helpful 🙏🏼 I’ll definitely check that plugin
