It’s helpful to think of a kick drum as being in 2 parts:
- 1. Attack (7-11ms) – noise and compressed waveforms
- 2. Pitch Dip
Workflow ideas:
- Creating a sample approx. 400ms (about 17000 samples)
- Generating sine waves and a pitch dip by dragging the selection window across a sample
- Adding volume fades using the sample editor
- Adding volume fades using an envelope in the instrument editor
- Creating a sandbox of blank samples of different lengths
- Adding short bits of noise to the beginning of the sample
- Layering a sample of noise to add character
