Maxi515 Posted October 8, 2012 Share Posted October 8, 2012 Does someone have some guidance for the distorted kick sound that flying lotus uses in many of his tracks. It something I've tried my hand at but can't quite get or at least get control over. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SweetIshDub Posted October 9, 2012 Share Posted October 9, 2012 Can you post up a youtube clip of a song that has a kick like what you're going for? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maxi515 Posted October 9, 2012 Author Share Posted October 9, 2012 Now that you've asked me to think about it, much of the effect lies in the crunchy, sizly atmospheric glitchyness of their music. The closest track to what I like in the kick is the track Breathe, something stellar star. The kick is clear at around 50seconds. I guess it's a pretty common sound for some modern hip hop, though I've heard some extreme distorted kick sounds in some experimental sets.

SweetIshDub Posted October 9, 2012 Share Posted October 9, 2012 Ah yeah I see what youre saying now, when I think of distorted kicks the first thing that comes to mind is hardcore so I was a little thrown off when you said Flying Lotus ya know. I think you're right that a lot of it comes from the style and how its mixed and if there is any distortion on it, it is really subtle. Personally I think its from compression just listening to the back end of the kick but I'm no expert.Any hip hop guys have any input?

Tomy Posted October 11, 2012 Share Posted October 11, 2012 could be over limiting. I heard once that this is what bloody beetroots used to do. I've never tried it out though. might give it a crack over the weekend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
