How To Add More Weight To A Kick Drum Using Sine Wave

[JahhVeee]

[Shin83320]

[ItsMeZontor]

FYI, set freq to 50Hz if your kick is tuned to a 'G'. if your looking to produce the best of the best quality of music, then tuning simple sounds like your hats, snares, kicks, subs etc. is pretty important and very NOTICABLE once you train your ear ;)

[howtomakeemusic]

@brand0wnsyou Thanks for pointing this out! Yeah tuning drum sample is important if theres a noticeable pitched element in its sound, but if the pitch is not that prominent (like in many drum samples) I usually wont bother (and I'm not that good at detecting a pitch of a sample/tuning anyways hehe).

[TheBelmontAudio]

@brand0wnsyou I know about pitching kicks, but how do you pitch a snare or other percussion? With the tail sub on a kicks it's a lot easier to hear the note it's supposed to be, it would seem.

[brand0wnsyou]

@TheBelmontAudio Some percussion (depending on what it is and how it sounds) might not carry much of a pitch, as it resembles somewhat of a 'noise-like' spectrum, with frequencies all over the place (hats, some cymbals, little shakers and what not)

But for other sounds, like snares and claps, a good trick is to transpose either up or down as much as you need to to hear the tone.

Play a sine wave for the note that you want to achieve, then transpose till you hear that note.

[brand0wnsyou]

@TheBelmontAudio You might find the pitch after transposing too much (for example, +15 ), but thats okay because you would then just downpitch 12 (in this case, to +3).

Nice 1 Thank You

[ezraalex77]

how do make the selection? it just moves the bottom bar when i try to plz help

[howtomakeemusic]

@ezraalex77 Did you hold the left-mouse button while dragging to make a selection?

[ezraalex77]

@howtomakeemusic yeah

[howtomakeemusic]

@ezraalex77 hmm.. that is strange.. I dont know why its doing that... You should be able to select freely any area.. :/

[RB1991rox]

@ezraalex77 In the bottom right corner of the EDISON , There's a "Freeze" "Noise T" "Regions" "Snap" and "Slide".... Make sur your "Freeze" is not selected... it'll do.

Also uncheck the "Snap".

[Choniez23]

when i did it, the tail was larger than the actual kick?

[TheKelebo]

@Choniez23 So this is how you learn this stuff ? ;o

Thanks Choniez c; <3

[howtomakeemusic]

@Choniez23 Do you mean it's louder than the attack part of your kick? If it sounds bad, use the volume envelope to shape it (click 'Edit volume envelope' at the bottom of the Edison).

[Rangotz]

Thank you for your good work, Sir!

[howtomakeemusic]

@Rangotz np !

[wasupthere]

Dude your videos are great. THANX

[howtomakeemusic]

@wasupthere superb - thanks!

[dymesnatcha123]

WHEN I PUT IT INTO EDISON IT DOSENT LOOK THE SAME ALL I SEE IS LIKE A ORANGEISH REDISH WAVE FORM

[howtomakeemusic]

@dymesnatcha123 Hi, you probably have the Spectrum View enabled: press S to disable it.

[sharkf3ng]

great idea! can you do this with a snare too? a nice sustained snare like in "first of the year by skrillex?"

[KevinKenyonMusic]

Can we download the sample?;D

[howtomakeemusic]

@KevinKenyonMusic I can create a kickdrum like that and put it up for dl if you want 8)

[KevinKenyonMusic]

@howtomakeemusic yeah it would help alot!=]

[Renulph]

This seems more useful than EQing a bass drum to hit harder. Nice video!

[howtomakeemusic]

@Renulph thanks!!

[SuperRogman]

[tushar223]
