Kick 2 Plugin | A Complete Walkthrough
Рет қаралды 11,928
Күн бұрынKick 2, a sine wave generator, is a brilliant VST plugin for synthesizing kick drums. In electronic music, you have three main components that make up a kick - the transient, body and sub fundamental. Once you understand the anatomy of a kick and the ways in which you can introduce character through harmonics, processing and the layering of samples, you’ll be able to synthesise your own kick drums all directly inside Kick 2. When you’re happy with what you’ve created, save your preset in the user library to use again.

"The anatomy of drums." Love that turn of phrase. This is a good demonstration of not only Kick 2 but also the general anatomy of a kick. For anyone curious about Kick, it's also useful for percussive sounds other than kicks, such as snares.

Yes! I actually recorded a portion of this video detailing other uses for kick 2, i.e. snare sound design etc. But I deleted it cos it was making the video too long. But there lies an idea for another video! I love the anatomy of drums. Love love love 😊 thanks so much for the comment. Appreciate it 💖

Now I have a very good place (or 'headspace'?) to begin designing kick drums with this amazing software. Love your enthusiasm!

Again, a great video! Kick 2 is worth every cent. Just realising, that each kick can have a complex pitch envelope was a game change for me.I wish the waveform would change exactly where you place the handles, but that's the only flaw. Besides that, Kick 2 is a very mighty tool.
@BeckySaifMusic 2 жыл бұрын
Yeah the pitch envelope of the kick was a fascinating find for me too. Especially the attack portion. Just blows my mind this stuff sometimes. I love the science behind it all. Great to have you here and thanks again for the comment.

Thanks A LOT for this video! Before watching this, the Kick 2 interface was kind of scary for me tbh haha. The reason I think there's an option for you to manipulate the pitch in the sub control is that you might want to get creative with automations, idk maybe while producing a build-up or something, cause that way you wouldn't need to change the original pitch of the sound in the sub view. again, thanks a lot for this video, I just subscribed already!

Hey Becky. Just subscribed! So quick question: I'm using Logic Pro X and my version of Kick 2 has a "Sidechain" function on the top right hand corner. Is to send the kick signal to the corresponding instrument or bus? Such as sidechain-ing the attack of the kick to the body of the kick layer? If you can help me out with this I'll greatly appreciate it!
@DanielCabrera-iq6un 6 ай бұрын
I have a question, after doing all this, do you still layer various kicks along with this one or you do all this process so you don't have to do layering? im doing techno music so layering kicks is usually fundamental

Started in 2006 building a good kick with Ableton 7. Still at it with Ableton 10.....Here's a tip - dont waste your time !
@prestonessence 2 жыл бұрын
I respect that, but sometimes it can improve the efficiency of your workflow to use a specialized tool, or it can lead you in unexpected creative directions.
@BeckySaifMusic 2 жыл бұрын
Time to upgrade to Ableton 11 😅 but yes I agree, using a good sample is just as good as designing your own. And way more efficient too. But then where's the fun in developing your own creative identity?

One pain in the arse issue is when Logic 10.7 helpfully decides to reset the user adjusted length of Click 1 to zero for you- every time you stop and restart the Transport. Once again I find myself spitting out the expletives "fuckin' poxy Logic!"

is there a sine wave generator window plugin I can use if I dont have kick 2?
@BeckySaifMusic 2 жыл бұрын
You can esstentially do most of this with a sine wave and a pitch envelope added to fine tune in Serum for example. I think I did this in a kicks video really early on on my channel. If not it's definitely on my serum course.

WOW! After the first 3 mins, a thought populating my mind started to scream... "Just found my soulmate!!!" Hahahahaha... At 18:30 mins I almost could see hearts surrounding me and floating to the sky... (hehehehe)... But seriously... The kick is the main, fundamental, most important, and best part of ANY bass-dependent genre. I've bought Kick 2, dreaming to be able to mimic any kick... ...it is a GREAT tool but needs some improvements, in my point of view. Zoom by mouse wheel, distortion and saturation only on subs or only on "clicks", or both... ...EQ only on subs, only on "clicks" or both. Oh, BTW, you've changed the out volume, not the limiter threshold - that is on the left side of the meters. THANK YOU very much for this video!!!
