egg and haven't sudden here on the senior sound design instructor here
don't spot in new york city and online they want to talk about making
some that base and with massive would really nice up here
and this isn't something that matters is the best thing out but there's a simple
way to do it with massive henry makes a nice plastics and deals with a whole new
way so make sure you brought your life preserver and let's get moving
so to start out with i had this little b and i've taken the kick drum out of it
because we were actually replace it with massive this is something that's really
common in uh... certain types of southern hip-hop what people are calling
trapped now there's a very specific types of and hip-hop that is trapped
it's not quite as broad of a john raza let people think it is
but we're gonna talk about a type of kick drum today that actually started
with the eight oh eight k can actually had so much tone to it like you could
really hear the note that it was playing people have taken and adapted it into an
instrument that you can play harmonic lian actually played bass lines with
and that's our style that you're hearing more and more
so i'm gonna start out with an instance of massive here and let's take a listen
to this little melody that i have gone this melody somewhere between hip-hop in
crime or something like that let's take a listen
the
desert
that i think is that we're getting here like this bom bom bom
forms bom bom
homeboys silica
going forward
you know just even move in keeping busy it's gonna be a nice thing uh... this is
gonna have a lot energy
so i'm just gonna start out in massive by grabbing one of the the sine wave
tables here
and i'm gonna go ahead and pull the way till position all the way the less as a
hundred percent sine wave
uh... this is how
uh... the classic eight oh eight kick drum
is made silver star with a sign with i mean if i don't know if it's appropriate
for my nice low sub base
so it's like well enough
let me try one more octave down
who that's nice
what i'm really looking for it is the pitch that seem to be the destination of
my kick drum here so i'm gonna go ahead and i'm just gonna get my metronome go
on and my sisters uh... solo the drums he revels of mexico and
and i'll go ahead
and i'm just gonna play a little kick drum pattern in here
and that's how we're gonna get this started because i i i want to hear the
music while in setting the drug has than my sound designers would be a lot more
successful piece is gonna make sense and it's gonna feel more musical
yeah
so she can hear that didn't just uh... you need to put on some headphones or
something like that this is a super low sundays
may go ahead and quantized this
and although at let's bring it up in october so that everyone can hear at the
little easier
the
so it's uh... what's let's to start out going to bring it back down on active by
the way and logic tiki sturges
option shifted down and up
dumb move everything out there that i actually believe it's the same able to
one of the time of the ones easy to remembers
the same so
i'm gonna start out just by getting together my amplitude envelope so i'm
gonna get envelope
four it's not a medically routed to modulate the amplitude opal in the
attack so this is a non sustaining sound blood run is generally known sustaining
but we can make this so it has a little bit of sustained just in case we will
hold the note out a little longer but i'm gonna pull
although the dayton does sustainable way down
and we don't want the little punch at the end
so i'm just
placing the release slightly
their ego
okay so that's pretty good so far but what we know really need
is more of a transit we're just hearing the click from this really fast envelope
on the sine wave so what we need is a nice transient and you may have seen
ease a stripper for whom i have a massive tutorials
understanding use our regular envelope to modulate the pitch
of this oscillator that we're getting this uh... deep sub base from
and what we're gonna do agree that we're gonna make the attack really fast and
we're gonna pull the sustain level down to zero
once this
envelope reaches zero added sustain level which is going to do really
quickly
i'm we're just hearing that sub base no
so we put this value up
a couple of artists alike to doctors because that means that the entirety the
sound is going to be into
so let's take a listen to right now
and if we were to take this whole thing up in october two we'd have a nice sort
of tom sent
or they want to get a little
feel a little ring my bell
i'm glad you know and i think you really miss me
yet but some of my current system
alright anyways enough of that i'm gonna pull this thing back
uh... we're back down
at the sub base level in a lot of your going calm and but it's not like basie
enough manuel
i've got the prescription alright so hold your horses okay
i'm gonna go ahead and pull the decay and a little bit
and we're just listen to it tighten up so that we just end up with a nice punch
on the sound
and the emphasis is still on the low base but we have a good solid transi
that's gonna really make it sound like a drug
that's good
here is without
kinda falls flat right
now let's
alike dot it wrote the release
their ego
it's pretty nice
strive in a little bit more turning a purple volume
without using any material filtering here right now
so that's pretty nice of got a good punch going in there
and uh... from here there's a lot there there if you like fine-tuning sorts of
things that we can do the first is a man to go the voicing tapping on the changes
to modify etc it's not a month on iq what what you can end up with an off
lead in the hierarchy so we can hear it better we can end up with his nose that
are overlapping and that's especially bad with a super sub base the santa ana
collide a little bit you're gonna have some phasing issues and it's just going
to make the base not feel very clean
um...
so we can get overlapping sounds
let me turn up the release here so we can really hear it
so we don't want that kind of shaking to happen so
no matter how long you turn up your release if you put it on mon folic
it's gonna copy all sound before puts on the new one
which means that you can do some really fast little at its here
without worrying about the details
of those punches
sort of overlapping
now another thing that we can do is we can go over to this envelope they were
using to
push the pet shop
momentarily is very very quick
and we can use it for something else
uh... to add a little bit more punch to the sound we could always absa more
harmonics of sound in fact this is where i start with a lot of drum synthesis are
usually getting eight oh eight kick drum sounding
fairly believable and then i'll go ahead and all uh... absent things to anything
goes wacky as you want just as long as you're year sort of his remembering that
it's the drums so let's let's see what it sounds like if we listen to a square
wave has secured rooms
so we can make this thing sent on a distorted a little bit blown out of this
is almost like if we put it through some sort of distortion and i can take this
enveloped the same one that smuggling pitch and just make it so that it goes
up and adds a few more harmonics and moves toward a square away of just for a
second so that we just here a little bit stronger of a transient
through them i built a much
job of soccer clean sideways
fills you with us and trying to
who in fact i love the way that sounds that sounds great
hit always go for that affects let's hear how the cells of the rest the drum
kit
the
law school for the next is the
fixed
resembles the
let's see how it goes with the rest of our synthesizers
so there we got that's how you make a quick it away it's okay to using massive
the complaint or monica lien as you can hear the relied upon to do is for this
like i said once you get in the room sounding like a drum feel like a drum
there's all
lot that you can do toget creative and to make a nice unique sound
and then also
you can go ahead and you can double this up and use another punchy kick drum to
kinda go on top of that that's also really comment you can check out one of
our possums side-chain compression tutorials i have a nice when i go
side-chain compression that you can find
on the dust by you to page but uh... this is a technique that is that's great
that's a basic one and it's one of those a really long way
i hope you enjoy this kind of a sudden tested after the dotnet your son
releases since some of my other tutorials little flood channel hope you
enjoyed this tutorial here on the internet
