IN DEPTH KICK AND BASS CREATION FOR HI-TECH IN ABLETON 185BPM (FREE KICK AND BASS RACKS)

In depth look at how I typically create my kick and bass :)

In the video I'm using Kick 2 for the kick synthesis, but sometimes I also use BazzISM. For the bass, however, I pretty much always use VB1 :)

For sidechaining I have recently started using the free M4L device "Duck Buddy", made by the amazing Slynk:

I really like it because it's easy to set up a MIDI trigger from your kick channel, so that you don't have to automate the plugin on or off if you want to do some tempo change in the track, which you would have to do if you are using say Xfer's LFO Tool.

The meat and potatoes of the bass coloration I would say come from iZotope's Trash 2, which is a multiband distortion plugin similar to Saturn. I often use the two saturation plugins in combination, like in this video.

Here's the download link for the kick and bass racks for you to use and experiment with:

The ZIP file contains the kick and bass racks individually, and then also the whole kick and bass channel group, so that you can drag the whole group in and also get my group processing etc!

Any questions regarding the process, just shoot a comment or message me on Instagram @marcusthuresson :)

Enjoy!
