ok this one is for dirty bass

just wanna make sure i follow correctly


Take a nice solid 909 kick as your main kick.
Take another bass boosted 808 style kick with a long release, and copy the kick pattern (or double it up, so 8 beats per bar instead of 4, for that extra rumbling schranz mullarky)
Sidechain big kick to normal kick.



got the main kick going 1 2 3 4 like normal

now you say take a another kick and stretch( or just make the release longer) it to be longer then the main kick and EQ it to be more likea bass line instead of a punchy kick( i think as long as it goes past the main punchy kick is what ur telling me to shoot for)

whenu say copy the kick pattern u mean make this longer bassier kick also the normal 1 2 3 4

double it u mean 1 and 2 and 3 and 4 so its inbetween the normal kick as well..i only ask this cuz im not sure i hear that well to notice schranz tracks doing this..i take your word for it i just gotta try and listen closer or find one that does this..


now take the sidechainer and place it on the first punchy kick and place a compressor on the long bassy kick ???????????????

then i guess play with the threshold till the bassy kick is ducking under the main kick and creating that sub line power schranzyish typa kick...at lesat the one in the posted example..


i have tried this or something similar in the past (due to a friends recommendation) got soem ok results then just went to shit like usual ..but i was over distorting everything at the time

any suggestions to when i get the sub to sit with the punchy kick how to go from there. im thinking Eq the bass to my liking to make it harder or not and maybe add lots of percussion to fill up the track a little better..so its not jsut plain kick n sub sidechainded together
