hello all!

I have listen lot of drum n bass, jungle track, and i decided to make my own track.
I went there to rab some info about making good beat, it was very helpfull Wink

Now i have a question about kicks ( i searched in the forum but i didnt find a good answers to my interrogations): I use reason 4 and making beat with redrum, and i want to creat an old school kick a lil punchy like you can hear here at the begin of the track:old skool jungle

i have used dr rex and advanced sampler to slice some loop and its funny Smile

but now i want to creat my own kicks. i guess i need to use a compressor (m class) and what else? i need EQ too

sadly i watched a tuto on youtube on how to make this sort of kick but user removed the video, and i didnt get reason in the past Frown

I m a bit lost, if someone can help me ( sorry for my english im a beginner in shakespear language)

Edit: i forget to mention i got some sample of 808 kick but i dont think they are pretty good than the original, it can help i think

download some decent breaks, and use the them for your drums. you could layer an 808 kik with them. but all the old skool jungle tunes use breaks. search for the amen break to start you off.

theres a lot you can do with just the 808. you can turn it into a sub bass even but you need the kick. try cutting off the sub frequencies off it (at around 80 hertz) then distorting it. reverbating it is also welcome but you gotta do it subtle, and before the distortion

hey pal,
that kick you hear in that video is from the 'Amen' break ...
I'll explain it to you in case you don't know.
The Amen is used commonly in old school; what the musicians would do is pitch up everything; bass kick, snares, hi-hats etcetera, and if you listen to artists such as Foul Play then you'll notice that they added flanging to their beats as well.
I'll send you the Amen kit in email if you want it!

Here's a site that you should find useful: http://www.junglebreaks.co.uk/

I think you mean the bass sound and you think it is a kickdrum from hardcore-style music, but it isn't. It's a square bass, pitched down and a fillter envelope that slowly opens. The drums are a simple amen break.

i know the amen break i got a clear sample of it, i will slice it to sample each drum.

What do you mean by cutting off the sub frequencies around 80hz? can i do it with soundforge by example?

hi

yes u can ! Wink

Just open the eq plugin and cut down around 80hz. best if you don't do that on the whole loop and only mark the kick.

hope that helps.
