Massive - Tutorial - Kick - Part One

[jnslgrd]

Check out my new song

[Renneskid]

in terms of 'tutorial' this is awful, some commentary would have been nice

[mrdjeazy]

where can i get massive?

[thecitywalls]

that's the classic ping pong kick...

is there any soft synths out there that can make kicks that sound like your tyoical top 40 kick sound?

[kackzipfi]

when i do the very first step (putting velocity on the amp) i don't get an 'interrupted' sound (sorry for my poor english), but only a constant sound... what is wrong?

[19sharethepain97]

How do i get sound? ._______.

[grisapa1]

Wow your really good at this

[TheGreenburger]

I succeeded in ALMOST making this sound... I got the click of the kick (the punch at the start of the sound), but I couldn't get the low 'thud' that comes afterward... By the life of me I don't understand why, I copied the exact process, changed the notes... nothing. I'm stumped.

[PURODESMADR3]

what note did u play it on? c2?

[DrDrolomehet]

Someone explain the envelopes to me. 4 seems to apply to everything, so what do the other 3 do?

[TheRealRunner]

Question

Does Envelope 4 work as a general envelope? As in, all the remaining three will be affected by it?

[TheFishWalking]

@TheRealRunner its the amp envelope by default.

[CallusDnb]

@TheRealRunner if you look under the amplitude pot at the top right, you will see envelope 4 is the amp mod, you can change it to whatever you want though. Env 1 2 3 as default are not linked to the amp pot.

[gwencharlotte]

INCREDIBLE!

[DustbunnyCreations]

thanks for your help/guide!!!!

[wwwJoJoGocom]

adobe photoshop !

[TheMattW75]

what is this programme called ?

[Mikeymoomah]

@TheMattW75 its native instruments massive. and i shall be getting it soon cous its really good

[wwwJoJoGocom]

velocity

[aaustinnn]

what does the yellow control in the corner that he applied at the very beginning do?

[TheRealRunner]

@aaustinnn

It's the Velocity envelope. It means the sound Massive produces is never affected by midi , which means it will always come out at full power.

[wwwJoJoGocom]

yes, should work on demo also.

[DannyKerbel]

does this work on the demo? the number below the pitch is absent in mine, and when i move level and decay up or down, nothing happens

[wwwJoJoGocom]

just wrote midi notes in my sequencer

[BangingThings]

@wwwJoJoGocom How do you get the macro 1 to glow yellow like that? midi information?

[onetotreefor]

hey, nice!

how did you make/get that beat?

[abcdefgdmfgklfd]

Could someone tell me why I don't have sound?

I downloaded it, try the demo version, just to look if it works, but there's no sound ;o

checked 999 things but I don't know =(

reply pls

[CHAOSDEATHCULT]

hrm.... did you just try the standalone version? Or did you try using it in a DAW?

[abcdefgdmfgklfd]

standalone version! (:

[xRyanxAG]

wats the full name of massive

[wwwJoJoGocom]

NI-Massive (smith) ;-)

[blaker9333]

do u have to have a built in mic to record on fl studio 9??

[r0bbick11]

great tutorial thanks so much *5*

[shafferfs]

Where is the initial oscilation coming from? Are you starting from scratch?

[wwwJoJoGocom]

@shafferfs

FROM OSC 1, yes from scratch... default sound

[thedevo01]

Perfect for minimal.. perfect.

[bakbees]

I cant find out how to make a kick sound with multiple osc, when I have more than one it becomes flanging and non constant

[DarkShroom]

that's cos u should not mix multiple channels of subbass on top of each other, it causes phase cancellation

[skylinegt786]

when i open massive i cant even see the whole thing any help?

[wwwJoJoGocom]

buy it ;-)

[AlasdairCooper1992]

You need to change your screen resolution

[bakbees]

buy it if you dont know how to fix your warez lawl

[krisdjsteel]

is there anyway to midi map is to adjust it automaticly when you use your key board

[MBnjmn]

keyboard no, midi controller yes.

[THENAMEISREMYSON]

Wish you went slower and explained everything as you went!!

[wwwJoJoGocom]

use the pause button ;-)

[tintala]

totall agree and have siad this many time!

[cattthemuban]

u are amazing thanks

[MouthofSaurons]

What is "massive"?

[genkibald]

lol its a soft synth

[unku]

a very good soft synth

[akshaymusik]

a very very good soft synth

[thebullfrog24]

...a very very very good soft synth :)

[juzzepe]

Hi! I cant understand, why there are some sound changes when you're editing parameters for envelopes 2,3,4,5. As I can see you 've connected only first envelope for frequency modulation! Why other are working?

[moonchair761]

Pac Man, I knew it was you.

[Emnar2]

what do i press to make any sound play in massive? im such a noob i know...

[juzzepe]

Firstly you should connect you midi keyboard to massive input( I know how to do it in Cubase/Nuendo), and then press any key on it.If you dont have the real keyboard you should use virtual keyboard in your host program.

[electroflux]

I use Cantabile light for loading up vsts and patch programming...

[0lidaye]

All that fucking around... just to make a kick! Impressive knowlege but pointless!

[funkydafunker]

I watched it again and had to comment again.This is SO cool.Thanks

[autumngrief]

Yeah its a kick. Sounds about 20 years old though. Needs a much faster envelope to give it that punchy sound. I would use a synth like zeta where you can apply the same envelope to a destination multiple times, making the envelopes MUCH more aggressive sounding

[wwwJoJoGocom]

hi,

this is a "how to make a kick tutorial", not a ... "how to make the best kick" ... it should give ideas to create own sounds ... and ... a good transient plugin fix this soft punch problem (belive me) ;-)

[albertograciano]

is massive better than battery when I try to create a kick??

[wwwJoJoGocom]

no... this are only tutorials ...how to work with massive... if you need a good kick better use battery... i do so... ;-)

[albertograciano]

okay thanks a lot!! I agree =D

[mAjInBoO83]

but..with battery can you create a kick?

[flexfm]

no battery is sample based

[josheat]

When I add the velocity to the amp knob, all it does is modulate it once, not constantly like yours, why is this happening?

[DarkShroom]

nice, i didn't realise you could make a bass drum sound by making the pitch spike up and fall like that. So that's why they say you have to pitch your drums, cos the drum sound substains at a constant pitch like that :) thanks for the vid

[cycla]

what's a good VSTi to make a nice sounding kicks beside massive? what about fm8, u-he's zebra2?

[hypersensitive23]

microtonic

[wwwJoJoGocom]

battery ... ;-)

[cycla]

microtonic is too techy for me, batter is loop based, actually vanguard worked better for me.

[dmak2]

Bravo!
