Ever wonder how Kanye West gets his kicks to have a mid-range tone, slightly distorted and extremely thick sounding? In the following tutorial we’ll explore how to make your kicks sounds more Yeezus like.
Plugins used in the tutorial:
Waves L2 Ultramaximizer Peak Limiter Plugin – if you have a fast attack – fast release limiter then that can work just as good. I just find that Waves L2 does the job perfectly!
Logic Pros’ built-in Distortion II plugin.
***If you want your drums to have a Lo-Fi feel like some Yeezus records, just add a Bitcrusher plugin and set to a 8-bit resolution and adjust the dry/wet mix accordingly!
