Machinedrum bottom end lacking...

2006-05-09 by rydan

Hello there!

I have been experimenting quite a bit with my UW, and I really love it, 
especially for creating weird percussive loops and strange sampling effects 
using the ram machines. However, I feel the kick drums are a bit lacking. I 
can't really put my finger on it, but they sound a bit thin I think. They 
may be loud and cutting through, but it seems hard to get that extra, deep, 
round oomph out of them.

So, well, my other favourite for drum sounds is Attack, s\ufffd I created a 
really mean-sounding trance style kick, added some unmild compression (UAD-1 
rocks!), and exported to a wav file. Transfered it to the machinedrum and 
Tada!, eeeh oh, no, wait, the ooomph was gone again...

Is it just me, or is anybody else experiencing this?
