Hello

I am trying to make that driving psytrance kick sound using ableton drum racks and just cannot get the pattern right.

Here is something I have come up with - as you can tell it needs a bit of work.

No mastering or anything on it at present.

Hi mate,

Cant listen to that at work unfortunately.

The psy kick sound comes from a very quick pitch drop usually on a sine wave.
I used to create mine on Soundforge, although any editor will do.
Now I use RP Punch though, and tune the kick to the bassline Cool

How are you going about this on Drum Racks?

It is mainly the midi arrangement I am having problems with.

I bought the nuborn psytrance pack ages ago and that has a few kick samples but no drum midi arrangements (it has midi bass and leads).

I found a great psytrance ableton tutorial on youtube yesterday showing how to setup the drum rack and also a midi sequence - then firefox crashed and I cannot find the video today Sad

It is just getting that crazy beat I need.

cheers
