I really like the last kick . Side note: could use some stereo spread on the screech, or is it just me?




So I made some adjustments and boosted those mids.

@ the raven - nice dist e punch,but more eq bass

last RAW kick

Not happy with it yet , but might as well post my progress so far.
Need to work on the tail and punch , anyone have any suggestions to make a nice punch like make with a snare or kickdrum.

Heres is applied to something i'm working on.



@djspeed i feel like it needs more mids in punch even though i don't know much about producing raw. But nice kick.

@raven I like your tail alot! Pitching is perfect

@netris feel like it needs more of bang to the punch like a gunshot. Then it would be perfecto.

Your kick needs way more distortion. Find a nice resonnance with the EQ then distort the living hell of it. It should give your kick a bit of the crunch we all learned to love

As for your punch question, what I do (which is far from the only solution), when I've finished my kick I separate the tail and the punch itself. I then can work on it without affecting the tail. I then EQ and distort my punch even more until I'm happy with it. If I want it to be snappier, I layer a snare underneath. Different snare give different results. You can layer almost anything you want if that sounds good.

@ netris - thanks for the comment.Your kick is nice but more punch

Yeah, I was not sure and lowered a bit the transient because it sounded a bit too harsh for me. I guess I'll put it somewhere in the middle

I rediscovered and old kick project of last year and after having reworked it a bit, I think it's the best kick I've done so far. It's not perfect, but it's an improvement.

@Netris I think you should work on the low end of the kick, but the character is nice imo. I also think it could use some more punch and attack. I like toks where there is a peak at 730 hz ~ and not so many harmonics around the peak like this https://puu.sh/v5SqG/8a415ec3c1.png

Here is my previous kick with another kick I made layered.

Punch is my weakness, but thanks for the advice. Could you tell me what I should change in the low end ? The subbass looks like a big sausage so I don't know what to do

Pretty hard for me to tell without visual anylysing while I hear the sound

Fair enough.

I've returned, finally finished a kick fully with tail and tok. Pitching done in Adobe audtition , worked out nicely after some tweaking. Got an old school vibe off the kick so added some some pikes. Underneath is the resulting waveform. Feedback is appreciated!
