Akaim: I love the distortion on your kick. But I agree with Dastylez, some frequencies sound filthy.

Dastylerz: Good kick, pitches nicely and has a good crunch. Could use a bit more lows in my opinion.

I made a new one. I'm making progress, I think.

mistral, nice pitching but your kick sounds really weak, it needs to be stronger, it needs a more powerfull punch with bass in it as well as a nice bass tone in the tail =), anyways I like it but with more work I could love it, Know what I mean ??

@Akaim the same what dastylerz said.
@Dastylerz kick need more work, try to distortion it by FabFilter Saturn, izotope trash, camelphat because it's too weak, and this kick is stereo, not bad, but next time make no-stereo kick :)

I decided to make new 909 kick because previous kick are shits :p
This time i used a waves rbass mono to boost a kick and FF Saturn to distort and other plugins, like ohmicide, camelphat, waveshaper, etc. :D
Kick:

;D

the gearboxx, kick is nice but your mixdown is so muddy that it ruins everything else, lead is to high shaped, work on your lead and your mixdown, but kick is nice otherwise

here is my kick with some more work, more distortion, some layering equing and shits
what do you think of it?

@Aliner i think it's good but it must be distorted and eq'ed or louder because i can hear only a punch ;/
Or i have broken speakers ;D
@TwiztedPunkz nice but need alot of work at eq and dist. But nice start :)

I know my mixdowns are bad but i will make better mixdownes. And my leads are not that good that i wonder to make to (idk what i say because my english isn't so good but i think you can understand me).

@aliner: really nice kick, I personally like the punch and it reminds me of some of B-Front' kicks

@gearboxx: aliner's kick has a very low bass (40hz), so maybe your speakers can't monitor that frequency.

@Greenkillah you don't understand me, because i hear the kick very well but i prefer high-freq (600-1000) disto, not deep kicks, but Aliners kick is nice ;)
And you're kick is nice too but it need alot of work (i know i repeat myself ;P).
Which daw do you use?

@Gearboxx kick is alright. Idk if its the high freq, your mixdown, or whatever but your sample made my ears bleed lol.

@aliner kick is good. Im not sure if your punch is weak or your overall need to up the volume on the kick.(my headphones are prolly on crack lol.



After reading what you guys had to say I added more distortion and eq. 5 channels later......I got this. Still working on the punch and sub bass.
