@Greenkillah you need more distortion on that kick, to get it crunchy. The highest pitch is not good, the kick picthes too late, try pitching it earlier.

@Crankx punch seems good, could use a bit of work, but imo it is missing som mid-frequencies.

I have worked more one my kick. Still ned to work on the punch. The kicks tail is only this short in the preview.

@ The Gearboxx

Good kick ! , Nice crunch, but try to cut some high frequencies. There are a bit annoying, but overall a solid kick.

@ Emperact

Your kick isn't avaiable.

@ Crankx

I think there is too much bass on the kick. But the crunch is good. Overall the kick could have some more power. Try to layer the crunch tail twice and use on one a phaser. This could give the tail more power / energy.


Here is my new kick. I've worked on it for some time.

@DJHDee - Nice LEAD! The kick is good but something is missing in it, some more power? :) otherwise, great.

@Andrek - Låter bra så fortsätt att jobba på den :)

@The Gearboxx - sounds nice

@Hypnos - Sounds nice but i dont like the punch

Long ago I was doing kicks and stuff. Started again today with an old project and changed / upgraded the kick. What do you think?

Dunno what happened to my kick.. Anyways

@The Gearboxx Sorry, I cant really hear anything because of the lead. Punch sounds good though.
@Hypnos Sounds fine. But the tail is too far away from the punch imo, and the tail could be a bit more crunchy.
@SRK punch sounds good. But it lacks bass.. :/

This is my first try on a reversed bass. :)
Which is best?

Ravage - You need more work, the distortion hasnt really got the crunchy tone and your punch is too thin kind of

SRK - Your punch is just too bright man, hurts my ears, theres is a annoying resonating frequency in there, look at a spectrum and try to eq it down a little

Hypnos - Compress and work on your punch it seems sloppy not solid enough and the tail seems to have too much attack, its lagging behaind a little.

@Seit nice but first kick is hmm... try to make a root pitch lower (i think you understand this)
Second kick is nice! :D and tell me how you "boing" kick without changing a pitch (on root pitch)?

Cut annoying highs and streched minimally (sound better) :D

@SRK - Kick sounds like it is lacking LOW mids and highs sound a tad too hyped can all ways substitute shelving Hi frew with spreading them on a send with S1 or some other stereo imaging device and cut off lo freq on that send to make sure you are only spreading freq you want too

@Emperact - nice reversed bass a little tip for those type of sound feed though guitar rig or other HQ AMP sim and send a bus send to spreed mid/hi freq to get abit of space in the mix to get more modern sounds and nice spread ;)

@SELT - Nice Kick , pitched abit odd but cant fault much of it maybe abit more white noise attack on head of kik for abit more raw punch but that is only if that is what you are going for

@The Gearbox - nice attack in you kick but cant "feel" the sub but hey that is a preference rather than something to fault. the kik seems abit short too but he yet again preference not a fault against you lol

here is a sample of my kik may need more sub init put as much as i thought was appropriate but may need more (unpitched because still abit unsure how to do it "properly")with abit of this and that around it , also added a lead which may be too trancy lol

NOTE UNPROCESSED ON BONCE
