100 Core Kicks.
75 Club Kicks start the collection off, every one of them created inside a working musical production – not in isolation like so many sample packs. perfectly balanced transient and ambience layers were added during production.
25 House Kicks then top off this collection – Many sourced from 909 and other analogue sources, or recorded from several of our classic samplers.
We have covered a ton of sonic options here across this pack whilst making sure every kick is useable, punchy and adaptable.
The kicks ( and all main WAV files ) are available normalized and also levelled -6DB from digital full scale,
MPC 3000 Kicks.
All 100 Kicks have been re-sampled into F9 MPC 3000 and kicked back out through its legendary & punchy audio outputs.
Pre-Amped via an API 527 we then added just a hint of presence and heft from a stereo pair of Chandler Lil Devil inductor EQs before adding a tickle of compression with a stereo pair of DBX 160Xs. The conversion from analogue to digital was handled by our Apogee Symphony system.
This folder of kicks will give you a slightly tighter bass end as the natural filtering of the analogue recording stages push the kicks forward whilst the MPC’s 16bit converters add the slightest air of crunch.
Split Kicks.
All 100 Kicks have been carefully processed to split the noise ( Transient ) and tonal ( Body ) elements into separate files. As the spectral process was identical for each kick it allows for some almost impossibly-instant mix-and-match experiments.
You can also layer multiple transients against a solid body portion to really hammer home the aurally-vital initial 50ms of your composite kick
The potential here for unique kick tones using these samples is huge – not every combination will work ( that would be misleading to suggest ) but in our investigations, it has never ceased to be fun to experiment with the split samples in this pack.
