Re: [elektron] psytrance kick

2005-05-20 by Sr. Minimo

I don't know if anyone has mentioned this before in
this thread, but a good tip for booming and hard Bass
Drums is to actually layer  two Bass Drums. One with a
longer decay to take up more space in the mix and fill
it up good with bass (this would go lower in the mix),
the other with more attack and a quicker release, to
give it punch. Most of the time, when you hear a BD
full of both punch and boom, you're hearing 2 of them.
