Keep doing what you are doing man!! I am back from a long hiatus in producing. Your video's are really helping me getting back on track again and keep things flowing. Thank you so much!

This is one of those magic little tips. Works on all rhythmic elements too, not just kicks.

Interesting and I like this plugin BPM converter .

I created the exact same tool as a sidechain few days ago, only improvement I did is to make the number of cells higher so you have more control over the shape

Young producers will disagree with me, but my take is that the real "rumble" is the sound of a snappy clean 909 ringing out in a cavernous club or warehouse from a massive Funktion 1 stack. In my experience, if I've made a nice boomy/rumbly kick on my Rytm that sounds nice in my headphones or studio, and have then gone out soundcheck for a live set, I've *always* had to dial down the decay to make it sound good in a club on a big sound system. The truth is that "rumbly" tracks don't bang as hard as clean tracks when played out.

Just listen to how it was done in the 90s and early 2000s. That was perfect. The "rumble" is just a way to make a track sound cool at home. When I was nervously getting ready to play at Berghain the first time in 2014, I asked DVS1 for advice (over Facebook lol), and he said "Don't think that you have to play only big sounding tracks there, because even small tracks sound massive there", and it was very true. Techno is music for clubs, so mix for clubs.

The cleaner the movement is of the bass elements of a sound system, the more air it can push into the bodies on the dancefloor and the more "body feel" you get as a result. Check how Robert Hood uses a snappy kick with a fundamental around 40-45 Hz. As the energy of that kick travels through space in a big club, that's the "rumble". If you add rumble in the track before it goes into a club, you get double rumble, and thus muddiness and lacking body feel.

A counter-example might be how somebody like Quelza makes techno that sounds amazing on headphones but lacks punch when played out. My suspicion is we can think of the consequences of "the Berghain sound" (Berlin 2010-2015) as young producers going to the club (or a club like it) and then trying to recreate that sound/feeling in their studios. And thus the rumble was born. And while you can get "Berghain at home" with some rumble FX, once you play said tracks out, you get "double Berghain" and thus shoot yourself in the foot.

Alternatively, use a "thin" kick more as a metronome, and let the sub content of your mix be a grooving bassline (like electro or more dub or UK flavoured techno). While _not_ having both a subby kick _and_ a subby bassline.

Whenever I watch tutorials I lowkey always turn it off because I don’t like what the track they are making sounds like. Top tier knowledge and a track that actually sounds like what I want to make, my deepest gratitude because I’m struggling with all the things you tend to cover 😂.

Appreciate you, about to buy some presets and support the work 🫡
