This Lowpass on the kick really made me wonder when i randomly listened to looped in my car. It started quiet and i turned up the volume but then... the kick hit and was perfectly smooth to really vibe. I was like yeah probably something deep and layered. But yeah.. its just a filter on a generic drummachine kick. I suspected it was some acoustic layered with a sine wave kick or something. But no - its just that. Really nice sound. And nice to see you break "the rules". My mind was always like "nah, you cant do that. thats wrong. The transient is need to make it good" and stuff. But no. It sound fire and great.
Wow , these tutorials are so helpful !!
Excellent tips, I had never thought about the long bass/short kick relationship before!
It can sometimes really make or break at track. Worth trying it out :)
Great, again! Thanks!
Your tutorials, aside from from being heart-warmingly generous, are the perfect blend of education and chill. 👌🏽😊🤙🏽Thank you.🙏🏽
Thank you Janus! It's such an honor to get such an advice from you. Very helpful video!
Keep these videos coming, Janus. You just explained sidechain compression perfectly!
Thanks, happy that I can help :) More will be coming soon.
Great stuff! The Looped deconstructed is also amazing. New fan here!
solid and thorough break downs,, thank you sir,
Thanks again for doing this. I really dig the content and the way it is presented.
Thank you! happy you enjoy the format I'm going for 🙌
Great video! Would love to see you do a master class on anyone of your projects! All the best and thanks for sharing some of your knowledge.
Glad to hear that you enjoy the video!
That's something that has come up quite a bit lately. Maybe I should give it a proper thought. Thx for the suggestion! 🙌
@@JanusRasmussen I'd like to echo Sebastian! I would sign up today!
Thank you Janus very useful! 🙏😊
Thank you for watching! 🙌 Any suggestions for upcoming topics?
AMAZING !!!!!
Awesome tips! Gonna mess around with this tonight. Thank you.
Great! have fun with it :D until next time! 🙌🙌
thanks for the tips!
Thanks for stopping by! 🥳🥳
Thanks! Unrelated : Quick tip on how to create the gliding/bending bass on Kiasmos - Bent? PS. Q&A vids will also be super valuable and interesting
Thanks man! Kick and bass always sounds so simple but it's so hard to get it right
Happy to help! Let's make 2021 the year of perfect kicks and basses :P
@@JanusRasmussen will certainly try! Unrelated, but i saw a while ago on yalcin efe (biskuwi)'s channel that you were gonna be on 4 producers 1 sample, do you know if that's still happening?
Hi Janus! Love your works and your "Production Tricks" videos! I'm from Argentina and I wanted to ask you if you do mixing works.
Great tips, I am learning a lot from ur videos. Keep up the good work!
I was wondering if u could give some tips about the kick and bass/sub base of one particular track, and also about the ganre it belongs to. Travertia - Vetka. Thanks in advance.
Nicely done Janus, super appreciate your transparency with these vids. Would love to know how you eq pads and leads too.
That means a lot to me! 🙌
Thanks for the suggestion. It's a very important topic for me, so I'll definitely do a video about this in the future.
Hey! First, I must say that I love your work and juicy productions. Your music convinced me that edm can be real art.
Can you briefly describe how you achieved this soft but strong kick sound in Pliant? I suppose it's just 909 kick, but it sounds so organic.
Never though of sidechaining to a band on an EQ! It's a bit like the poor man's version of trackspacer, will definitely try that out :D
It does the trick just fine :) Thank you for watching my videos! 🙌
I love you!
❤️❤️❤️
This was really cool. Janus, you mentioned that you low pass all of your kicks, but I was curious, do you ever use kick synths as well as samples? If so, do you have any that you'd recommend?
Hi Janus! Great channel, love the tips and how to the point they are. Have a great day!
PS. Do you have any favourite sample packs with good kicks to work with?
Thank you, happy to hear you enjoy the content.
I'll be honest with you. Lately, I've been using Splice and Loopcloud quite a bit to find new kick samples with. I just love the fact that you can buy singles samples out of whole libraries. Usually, these packs don't include more than one or two samples that I like, so this makes a lot of sense to me. I sometimes go on Splice and only find kicks that I like and save them to a folder for me to find later on when I'm working on music. I even have their app on my phone and treat it almost like a game, just finding samples instead of pointless social media scrolling.
Not a sponsor btw! I just really find this a lot of fun to do.
Hope this makes sense.
@@JanusRasmussen Makes total sense. My experience with sample packs was very much the same - so might just pull the trigger on Splice. Also - it's reassuring that producers like yourself also use it! Takk 🙌
You can also use Kick 2 from Sonic Academy - it's a great plugin to create and tune your own kicks, sometimes it may be faster to create it from scratch than looking through large libraries.
Great tips again, I'm using google keep to store my "Janus tips"... I've video suggestion: how do you create a wide stereo sound, like in your track Green Wine, sounds everywhere in the panorama... :)
Great idea! I've been thinking just about that topic as well. It might be a bit too big a video for this series, but maybe something for the new year. Thank you for watching 🙌
👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼 Any specific outboard hardware you use to design your kicks? I’ve been messing around with the analog rytm mkii kick drum engine for a while now but all of the kicks start to sound the same.
I stopped using my Analog Rytm because it's in my touring case somewhere in Germany 😂 So no, lately it's only been samples. I really want a MFB Tanzbar though.
Nice one! Always love your videos... Do you generally have the ratio on infinite when sidechaining the bass from the kick?
Good question!
It totally depends on what suits the song the best. It's a relatively new thing that I set my ratio to infinite. I just quite like the house'y pump feel that it makes.
I would say, play around with all the settings until you get something that makes sense for the track you're working on. Although, I do think you should always be careful of is having too many different settings going on in the same project. Try to keep the same settings for all of the side chain compressors, it will give a more consistent sound. How much threshold you apply to each channel can vary though. Hope that this makes sense.
@@JanusRasmussen Totally makes sense, and great reminders. Cheers for sharing all the insight!
