I recommend studying this method closely. Sidechaining.ĭucking the sub bass with the kick as a trigger. Please use your ears and not just the visualizers! Step 5. Using side by side EQ’s with visual analyzers to help find the right frequencies to cut and/or boost. This has been mentioned so many times in countless tutorials but it is a must and should not be overlooked! Cutting frequencies from one to make room for the other. Always check the phase by flipping the polarity. Always listen close though as this could cause other issues as well. Try flipping the polarity and see if it helps. It may be slightly out of phase from the low end. Sometimes you find that one kick that you must have but can’t figure out why it is not working well with the sub-bass. Pitch envelope! Pogo effect: Works wonders on kicks!

Your goal is to make it pop out in front of the sub-bass & sound cohesive together. Just loop a section & listen to how it changes the sound of your kick. I find that using a pitch envelope or the pogo effect within FL Studios Sampler to do the trick. This is no good because you want that kick hitting you in the back! In most cases, sidechaining won’t even help. Masking! Volume levels can hide the kick in the low end of your mix. Tuning a kick perfectly to the bass can cause more problems at mixdown. If you have an 808 then yes, tune to the key of your track but if it’s just a regular kick sample you may want to rethink your tuning decisions. You may have heard that you should tune your kick to be in the exact key of the sub-bass. Long sustained kicks in fewer bass parts and short punchy kick within heavy bass parts. Use more than one kick drum sample within your track. Remember this! Tight punchy kicks with sustained bass and long sustained kicks by themselves. In other words, you shouldn’t have a kick with a long sustained sub fighting with coexisting sub-bass. So let’s start with the beginning, as I said this tutorial is very quick and easy to apply. In this short FL Studio 20 tutorial, I will show you a few tips and tricks from my experience dealing with the right kick to punch through your sub-bass.
