In this video, you'll learn how to get the perfect 909 clap sound by following my simple but effective 909 drums mixing framework.
We'll dive deep into choosing the perfect clap sample and how to shape it in your sampler of choice. I'm using Ableton Live here, but the principles apply to any DAW, whether you're using FL Studio, Cubase, Logic, or something else.
Then, I'll share with you my exact mixing framework for 909 claps, including EQ, compression, and saturation.
At the end of this video, I'll share one of my favorite layering hacks with you so make sure to stick around until the end of the tutorial. You don't want to miss that.

This is a good one, I’m a 909 clap sound design collector 😂 this video has some good ideas and also made me feel pretty good about some of the ones I’ve designed, thanks brother 🙏🖤🐓
I remember working with a real 909 back in the day. We never had to do much at all. Only boosting input gain of the kick on the mixing desk. Voilà 😊
The interesting thing is that this is also due to the tracks overall being much more sparse and not so overcrowded with sounds. More space = less tweaking.
@pickyourselfofficial I guess that's why the 909 defined dance music, it just works.
very helpful
Thanks - great tutorial
Great to hear that, thank you!
Amazing knowledge. How do you do that bassline with the sub? Everything Amazing
super helpful, as always! Thank you :)
How about a video on ear candy?
Oh yeah, good one! Noted :)
As always, thanks for this video 🖤 It would be interesting to see how to process textures for techno music like Yan Cook for example . This is used very often in techno. I think this would be very useful.
Yeah, one of my favorite topics! I’ll put it on my content plan immediately, thanks :)
Oh cool, be waiting!! 😃
How do you think the original 909 hardware compares.to the new Roland vst? Curious. Thanks Philip. Great tutorials.
Nice tricks! Sometimes when kick and clap hits together, i see an increase of peaklevel only when the clap hits of about 2-3dB. Some gurus here on youtube say, put that in a group and slam a clipper over it, and clip it gently. how would you treat this problem? And if yes, use a clipper, where in the signal chain? Thx 🙏🏽
Deadmau5 ass clap is the gold standard
Haha nice
Hey man, just wondering-- my friends and I often argue about ProQ; I haven't seen or really heard any reason why I should buy it, or use it over the EQ8-- but given your use of it, I'm sure there is a good reason behind it. Any chance you can shine some light on that?
You should watch Dan Worrall's video about stock plugins. He does the adverts for most of the FabFilter plugins but I recall him saying that EQ8 is actually fine. It essentially sounds exactly the same as Pro-Q (although it might have an issue with cramping with bell filters at high frequencies, like most digital EQs) but Pro-Q is "better" in the sense it has more features (dynamic EQ, overlay of potential masking etc) and a more user-friendly and pretty GUI. Soundwise, all digital EQs basically sound the same, and most people only use the basic lo/hi cut/pass and bell filters, so spending your money on something that is actually different to what your stock plugins can do is usually a better investment.
Hi Philip. I notice you wear headphones a lot in your videos. I was wondering if headphones are sufficient for creating releasable music? I’m going to be travelling a lot next year and will be relying on headphones only.
Thanks! Loving your mixing and mastering vids :)
super intereseted too
Hey :) So a year ago I was working full time for three months in Italy JUST using a laptop, my mastering-grade audio interface, and the headphones you see in my videos (Audeze LCD-X). I did regular mixes and masters, even for major label projects, and I had zero issues apart from not wanting to wear headphones for more than a couple of hours. It’s ideal to have speakers as well but I’d rather have a damn good pair of headphones than mediocre speakers and minimal or no acoustic treatment. I hope that helps!
@@pickyourselfofficial a lot! Highly appreciated, ty sm
@@pickyourselfofficialHow do you check the low end with headphones? I have to feel the bass to mix it. I'm most time not happy with the headphone mix if I go to the car to check it. As a solution I'm waiting for the Subpac X1. It's a vibrating backpack which let's you feel the bass like in a club but you don't hear it. Unfortunately they have a long development delay because they concentrate on vibrating car seats for Range Rover and others.
I bought the samples from mars 909 pack and all the samples are in mono, is this normal? how can i switch them to stereo
All the sounds on a 909 (and most drum machines) are in mono. If you need to make it stereo, you can try a chorus, or just use multiple samples panned differently
Or you could maybe just not select a weak sounding clap to begin with
It doesn’t have to be this hard guys
Work smart
I don't get the compressor in this setup. In the sampler you already have total control of the envelope of the sound, and you tweek it there. To me you destroy your work with the compressor. Is there something I don't get?
Great question! I only used the envelope in the first example with the not-so-great sample. The compressor is used on the second track. There’s no envelope engaged. Overall, you could get similar results the comp can run in parallel so you have the additional wet/dry benefits of adding in a denser signal and mix it with the original (which still has the transient fully intact). Hope that clarifies it.
first? :)
Looks like it ;P
Just find better samples guys
Less but better. My philosophy on that front ;)
