Open up the kick’s sampler and go to the INS tab. This is great, but we want to get rid of that transient completely. If we solo our Kick Low, you’ll notice that it’s got a lot less transient than our high kick. The body is created in combination of both kicks, but let’s not make it too complicated.

You can achieve all three of these with two kicks, despite what some people say.

The transient, or initial sound (normally quite high frequency).

Note: I’ve also changed the tempo to 128. If you play the pattern at the moment it won’t sound amazing and if you were to leave it as it is now – you’d probably experience some bad low-end issues in the mix. Make sure you assign it to a mixer track.įinally, fill each four steps on both channels. Repeat this with Kick 2, but instead rename it to Kick Low. After doing so, open up your mixer and type ctrl + L to assign it to a new mixer track. Rename this to Kick High or something else that’s logical. We’re going to be using Kick 1 as our ‘high kick’, or the high-end in our layered kick. Note: If you’re using your own samples, choose a kick with a nice high end, and another with a nice low end. So after downloading Kick 1 and 2, drag them each into a sampler.

Renaming and organization (quite important when layering kicks in order to know what’s what)ĭon’t worry if you’re not sure of all those terms, we’ll be going more in-depth.

Here’s an overview of what we’ll be doing: So the process of kick layering involves a bit of work which we’re going to go through in detail. Of course, feel free to use your own kicks it’ll just be easier to follow along if you use the same ones.

3xOsc (Or any other synth that has a noise osc).

If you want to follow along with this tutorial exactly, then you may want to download the same samples I’m using.
