![]() Okay, intro is out of the way lets start layering some beats shall we? In this tutorial I will mainly focus on the bass drum first. If you really need to side-chain compress something, then there is something wrong with your mix in general. Side chain Compression isn't the solution for everything! Sorry. Phase 4: EQ and Compression are key elements Pitch is your friend when doing this stuff. Pitch can drive a sound in to a beautiful thing when doing things "right". However, more is more + audio cancellation + putting things in overdrive is more then less! And at this point most people will have lost me. Sure less is more if you don't know what your doing. While sceptics say "Less is more", I will tend to disagree with this on many grounds. I still like to load them up fast, route them fast and spin them sounds using the step sequencer for prototyping Phase 2: layering The reason why I still stick with the Redrum in most cases for this is "simplicity". ![]() The NN-XT advanced sampler holds some weird "house kicks". Or take a look in to the NN-XT samples too if your bored. If you happen to have Kong (and most people that own Reason 5 and above will have this) you can simply borrow samples from Kong and load them up in the Redrum. While the Redrum holds a lot of nice sounds for kicks snares and what not. You wanna know right? I will tell you how I do this Phase 1: the soundsįirst of all, the sound of the initial drums are important. A lot of times I get questions like: "omg, your drums are so fat howz didz you getz thoze?!". In this article I will basically tell you how to get more out of the Redrum Drum computer output wise. This question should probably directed to producers too.While in the previous reason tutorial I did a small "recap" on how to use the redrum drum computer in Reason. Yes, good tip, if my kick is punchy enough I will dial down the 808s attack. I thought so! What do you mean by cycle and where do I want the kicks cycle in relation to the 808 bass ![]() Bottom line if is that if they both don't start at the same time at the same point in the cycle, then you CAN run into phasing problems exactly like you are talking about.So in a pattern you're nudging the same kicks but in different places. If there's even the tiniest of a gap then when you play different notes, you are going to change the phase relationship of the two kicks. Check for empty space at the beginning of the sample (or it might not be empty, but there just junk there). I often mix records with a short kick and a big 808 and I'll look and they are different so no matter what they can't line up and i have to go fix every single one by hand. Check your kick samples and make sure the cycle phase is the same. ![]()
