KICK
1 Kick & Bass
Psytrance has undergone a number of transformations over the years, has been expanded to include contemporary elements, and always draws inspiration from other genres. But two characteristics have always been in focus: a powerful kick with a distinctive click and a heavy bass, either as a rolling variant with 16th notes, as an off-bass or in a triplet pattern. Often two variants are used in one track.
2 Equalizing
You can find a base of typical kicks on this month’s DVD. Alternatively, the BazzISM Synth [1] is very popular with producers. We used the sample that we sampled from the plug-in of the same name. Since the bass drum has a lot of sub, we loaded an behind it and cut away the frequencies below . For more emphasis on the body, we add two bands.
