Try running your kick through this bad boy for some analog coloration and that classic big-console sound. The SSL E-Channel is a long-time industry go-to for its 'Black knob', its 242 circuitry, and its unique bell/shelving settings on the high and low bands. By brightening up the kick and boosting the top-end frequencies, you can exaggerate that punch and get your kick to stand out in the mix. You don't want it louder level-wise because it throws off the whole mix.
Even though the kick's energy is strongest in the low end, it still needs a little top-end sheen so that the ear can identify its presence in the mix.Ī common mistake people make is turning up the kick's volume in order to make it better heard in the mix-however, you just want to hear it more, not to have it louder. Try boosting the upper frequency ranges of your kick, (6-7 kHz) this will bring out the attack. The F6 Floating-Band Dynamic EQ is a great tool for both surgical equalization/compression and handling the relationship between the kick and 808 via sidechaining. Let the kick be the punch and let the 808 be the boom. If you have a kick and 808 hitting at the same time in your mix, you want to start by shelving out the kick's sub frequencies in order to avoid interference with the 808. In many cases, you'll find that just inserting an EQ without cutting or boosting anything will change the sound slightly. Why use more than one EQ on the same kick track? Each and every EQ has its own character-adding a certain color to the sound. Its distinct resonant shelf will give your 808s a very musical boost and heat up those sub frequencies for a powerful low end. It is renowned for its unique ability to boost and cut the same frequencies simultaneously-which for a long-time has been an industry 'low-end trick'. To bring out the 808 sub frequencies and give it a nice smooth finish, try using the Puigtec EQP-1A-modeled after the original Pultec EQ unit owned by Jack Joseph Puig.
The Vitamin Sonic Enhancer plugin helps in identifying these harmonics in upper mid-range so you can bringing out the true grit of your 808s and get them to stick out in the mix. The trick lies in warming up the upper harmonics. Even though the 808 is dominant in those sub frequencies, the character of it lies within that mid-range. In order to get your 808s heard in any situation, you need to focus on enhancing the upper frequencies so that your 808s thickness can stick out. In most cases, your mix will be heard through a laptop or on a pair of smaller desktop speakers-where definition of the sub frequencies is simply inaudible. The masses are not listening to your track on expensive, hi-end studio monitors. Check out these 3 tricks for getting that crisp and beautifully boomy low end in your tracks.ġ:16 Tip #1: Enhancing 808 Harmonics & Tone there's gonna be a problem!
