basically side chaining

1. Pick a good 808 w a decent transient 2. Boost 2-4% 3. Add some high end on the EQ setting in the sampler 4. (At this point it should be slamming through the mix / redlining the mixer) 5. Add a fruity compressor / threshold it at 0 / compress to liking, add slight gain to have it peaking just slightly 6. Add fruity limiter and turn everything down to 0 except threshold, make sure it doesn't pass 0, add slight saturation to get a little crunch 7. Pull the mixer gain .5-1 DB so you have a little headroom, but for a trap beat ur 808 should by far be the most focused point, cause if ur 808 doesn't slap the beat doesn't slap 8. Now ur 808 sounds industry ready and doesn't destroy your entire mix by clouding it :)

Man discovers sidechaining. Try using volume automation for sidechaining as it gives way more control.

Well.. just I think pushing back 808's attack is a tip to do a clean mixing without changing phase..

Hitting hard!!🔥

Put an EQ on 808, Add a Peak controller on Kick Link first frequency from EQ to peak controller & invert the scale. Thank me later

Damn that’s shyt did sound hard 😂

bro just explained side chaining like its some secret trick he found

Right click the sidechain dropdown and pick the exact channel you want. Don't tell them to just pick "1". Granted it'll only have the channel you have side chained to it, but knowing that in and of itself has some uses for someone who has no idea what sidechain compression is used for as it is.

Sidechain always goes hardd

I still like the long trap 808s. I know they're old but they were underused and the 2017-2019 808s were barely audible and had not bass. All of the songs with long and loud 808s were big hits.

It’s about sound selection as well

Guy said “the Aye oh aye 🥴

freddie dredd been doing this for years

People saying not to do this don't understand clashing frequencies, the kick and the 808 have the same low end frequencies at around 35 in the eq, both the kick and 808 frequencies are clashing causing clipping and distortion, if u sidechain the kick to the 808 this solves this issue by letting one frequency stand out. If you don't want the 808 to stand out, then just don't use a kick. Stop complaining about it doesn't sound good, because in the right context it does, if you want an unprofessional mix then go on ahead.

This is a tip? Thought sidechaining was a must for kick and bass lol

out of key 808s

bro try removing the fruity limiter on the master then add a soft clipper thats it

The chain input may not be number 1 make sure to double check 😁

Bro found out about sidechaining

You dont need sidechain if you check the 808 and kick's phase and make sure they are aligned before selecting them

better and easier way of doing this is to lower the low end of your kicks slightly with an eq, then do the exact opposite to the low end of the 808

Bro told us to sidechain

Do you also eq & flip phase for hours after till really thuds? You want to double up your 808 & send the kick to a completely different channel - then flip the phase on either.

Is it better to side chain kick and bass through the limiter or the peak control?

Don't sidechain guys. It makes the 808 punch useless

Or just use reverse polarity on the kick

Bro increasing velocity in piano roll does not matter if they are all the same, the final output is totally depend upon good EQing and better mixing.😊 (To learn more follow Unbeasic Mixing this is my channel and i will teach you great mixing and even mastering tricks without wasting your precious time. I learned it all from paid courses and youtube and now its time to give it back to the community❤)

Learn about stauration/distortion and you will be able to make almost everything hit hard

Better use a Peak Controller, you dont always want to compress Kick and bass. With Peak Controller you only effect the voume and input time on the 808, with fruity Limiter you automatically add compression, that will steal brightness from your low end mix

when mike dean, alex tumay, and kenny beats all say dont sidechain, i think its best to look at the more effective alternatives

Why did you call 808 to the bass?

When hip hop producers learn what side chaining is lmfao

What 808 ya like? spinz?

So u side chained ur 808 to ur kick and clipped the master, never expected to see this explained by someone

I never understood maxing out velocities for drums and 808.

808 - Soundgoodizer (Setting D no change) - Fruity EQ 2 Kick Preset (no change) Kick - Soundgoodizer (Setting D no change) - Fruity EQ 2 Kick Preset (Gain +6)

Yeah I’ve been doing this for years, it’s just muscle memory at this point lol

I just started but it only let me use the black notes instead of both help me pls

I have an issue where the 808 continues even if the pattern runs out. How do I stop this?

Bro can you tell me a free and good drum kit for har trap? With nice 808

What can i do if i want to do that for a beat thats "finished" im trynna rap on it but noticed the 808s not hitting like they should and its from yt im new to this so anything helps

I don’t quite understand, the 808 is a drum kit whereas a kick is a sound within that drum kit… Can anybody explain this to me?

So how would this work for FL studio mobile users? Im stuck with mobile atm with a unison beatmaker blueprint pack, cymatics drum samples. So are u basically saying to SC the 808 and leave the kick alone?

Every 808 sounds good on c,d,e notes 😂

Y’all are sidechaining 808’s? Bro say it ain’t so😢

How to do for Logic?

Why are people assuming he just learned this, when the video is a tutorial? If you know how to do it and what it’s called, great. No need to be negative… I’d rather see more helpful tips in the comments, than to see people tearing someone down for teaching total newbies.

Are you from Australia?

Nope, heres an easier one. Limit your melody line. Eq your lows and make air for the speakers to breathe air benders. The kick and the 808 and the snare should route directly out to mastér channel. Focus on Eq on the master after you hear everything.

I think you can make better results with peak controller

How would I explain this... A kick is a Kick and your 808s are 808s the two are different audio forms they are not the same thing, don't treat them as such... Side chaining would link them and remove a significant part of both separate audios as engineers we try our best to not harm the individual audios themselves and we treat them with care cause we aren't producing or doing major sound designs. Do you understand why you shouldn't sidechain the kicks and 808s?... One word tip though... "Distortions".

👍👍

Why are you sidechaining with a limiter...use volume automation with a plug in like duck. It will keep your kick and bass phase relationship in tact.

Don't do this. Sidechaining is an effect! Not a mixing technique!!!

This is basics

Tbh if you want hard hitting 808s just slightly redline the 808 and add a fruity limiter to the master

lmao

Don’t mix like that… why would you wanna have a kick like this? Do the sidechain but just turn down the kick master volume until you find the spot where it hits, but not necessarily harder the the 808.

dude your 808 is distorting reduce the level of 808 and who is this this guy

😂

This makes the 808 hit less hard bruh, you just hear the kick and the trail of the 808, trap producers rlly just saying anything ig

why do ppl think velocity on a sample is gonna make it “hit harder” its just turning up the volume with no change lol

sidechaining your 808s only makes it hit less... you can barely hear the 808... you only hear the kick

Or just a preset kick

808 was better with no mixing and no kick ngl lol

Just soft clip it

this is better for pop mixing, not hiphop

limiter on the 808??? Wtf r u doing bruv

please change nick for davidjasper tips

Bro this is trap not edm if southside or metro hear sidechaining in your kicks and 808s thay turning that shit off

Just turn the velocity up🤦🏾‍♂️🤦🏾‍♂️ Y’all be doing way to much tryna make 808s hit hard.

Mixing trick = sidechain At this point if u don't know sidechaining, don't even bother with the mix lol keep up the "inspiration" 😂😂

oldest trick in the books

I WAS JUST FINISHED WITH MY TRACK UPLOADED IT TO SOUNDCLOUD WITHOUT THIS TRICK 😭

It's just sidechaining

don’t do this😅and if u do use peak control. reverse polarity should be all u need to do or maybe a little eq

or just pitchbend your 808😂

But you know there is such thing as drums that hit too hard to the point where it sounds terrible so watch out for that

Sounds bad, not use limiter for sidechain

Congratulations! It sounds like every other fl producer on KZfaq! Now you're perfectly unoriginal!

808 always sound so corny

sidechaining 808s is a really basic and a pretty bad technique

Total bs, you should almost never sidechain your808 and kick, it just loses the punch.. stop listening to dumb advices and people telling you to sidechain that

wow that just sounds terrible

basic

Sounds like boring cliche trap music

so many wrong things in this video... Learn your mixing theory kids

Damn why doesn’t KZfaq let us save shorts to playlists 🤦‍♂️

That still sounds distorted as hell. The finished product I could still hear it clipping like crazy. Any way you can remove that harsh bit at the end of the 808?

it really doesn’t make that much a difference if u just layer them lol atleast to the average listener
