How to "stretch out" kicks without pitching them?

Post by JurreS »

Yo guys,

I've been wondering about this for a while now.. How do I stretch out my kicks without manipulating the complete sound of the kick? Whenever I stretch my kicks the kick completely changes in sound. What I want is to stretch my kick out like in this track of Kurwastyle Project, he does it twice at around 1:22:

That's just the tail that he created actually and he didn't stretch anything. He created the kick and this long tail came with it because of the distortion of course. Just create a kick and turn the decay up and you'll get this long character with it.

First things first: what daw are you using? I work with FL and my way of stretching kicks is always the same:

1. Insert your kick as a audio sample into your project/playlist.
2. Click on the audioclip and switch 'resample' to 'E3 mono'.
3. Then down below switch to 'Transient (bleeding)' (for better blended overlays)
4. Now you're able to pitch your kick with the pitch knob in the upper bar instead of the Time Stretching pitch knob. And when you pitch your kick, you're able to stretch it way better with the 'mul' knob in the Time Stretching' menu.

So with these settings your stretching sounds way more natural. However, I hope this helped!

Either that, what tomm!c wrote or you just loop a small part of your tail.
