Anyone know what DVBBS use in the two songs so it sounds real powerful with monster sound in their drop except that they use tuned hard kick?

Those tracks:

or in general make a drop more powerfull?


Thanks!

Learn to be good at mixing and mastering. The initiated know of the Secret of the Big Red Button - there is no Big Red Button. It's not about what you use but how you use it. If you adopt a "prescription formula" that works, what happens when the formula gets stale? Without the knowledge to step outside of that comfort zone, you'll essentially amount to nothing without pure experience.

Well you can never give one formula that will magically make everything sound good. What it all comes down to is experience and a good producer ear. Even if I believe DVBBS lack that quality... Something to get you in the right direction is powerful distortion, well-mixed reverb/delay, compressor etc. Try different sorts of distortions and amps. Fabfilter Saturn is very good for creating gritty sounds.

Good luck!

One Thing is to remove the sidechain on the build up. Alot of People still Keep the sidechain in the break but sometimes ist good to give your ears a rest from the whole pumping Thing so that when the beat Drops it has a greater effect. The other Thing is to turn down the volume on the master before the drop just about 3-5% and then put it up again.

thats everything I know about this I hope it helped a Little :)

I should point out that if the OP wants to make music like the examples they shared, then they should start over compressing and limiting the heck out of everything.
