Jomaz , your bass is just pretty much a single sustained note...its not even a kick it just sounds like a synth with a tok on top of it.

this this and this, with no offence or smting jomaz listen to tommeh, while trying to improve your own style kicks

[JoMaZ]

Made this today:

I think I've still to much midbass but I am very happy with the sound of the pitching

@JoMaZ:
Sorry, cant hear any bigger changes.
Why dont you listin to some of the tips that people are giving you here? I think as tommeh already said that your basic problem is your synth setting. I would recommend you to start off with a 909 emulator because you easily get a nice basic for your kick.
After that its a question of EQing and distorting. And dont be too shy with adding effects. In my current kick for example i have 6 FL channels full of Plugins
Please follow this tips and dont post the same kicks over and over again. You cant make any progress by this.

And finally my improved kick:

DJHDEE, Tommeh and Polyzer you guys make great kicks.
You guys build from a 909 right ?

Polyzer: I think it needs more wroom effect you know
Jomaz: ur kicks still sound the same..
DJHDee: Sounds great!



First attempt with hydra, i have never worked with it before

@Polyzer
That kick is kinda weak but it has a nice structure IMO. KANG KANG KANG!

@DJHDee
Sounds nice... Nothing bad to say about it.

@Tramz
It sounds kinda uncontrolled and weird. Theres no bass in it at all either... Keep working on it.


Meh... I dont even know why I keep posting my snippets @ here since it feels kinda pointless but I'll post anyway. Here's my newest kick which sounds kinda same as my previous one... (Pretty much the same technique). Wondering if it pitches good, IMO yes... It's kinda muddy because of the amount of reverb in the lead but I think you can still hear it just fine enough.

[JoMaZ]

@Polyzer very nice now
@The Distorter nice kick
@Tramz no bass, to much midbass the same problem i have
I think my kick is a bit better now I make it more subby and reduce the bass of the dist

[LiamChristopherShenk]

much better Jomaz, still a bit of midbass, but its much better than before

[boyestar]

@ Distorter the kick sounds alright but in combination with the lead the song gets kinda chaotic.
I don't like the lead sound.
