How can I make my 808 kicks sound like this?

[tharealphaze]

yea should be under polyphony. what VST are u using?

that thing that pops up when you click on the sound in the sequencer. i think its called 3xosc i use it all the time and dnt know the name of it.

i suppose what you are looking for is the way the kicks flow into each other right ? the wuuuh type effect it gives. to do this, in the sample you use set voices to 1 and put the glide function on. this makes each note slide into each other, just play with the knob depending on how fast/slow you want the slide to be

Hmm, I already knew how to do slides, but what I'm talking about is the sound of the 808 when it changes pitch (i.e: when it goes up then back to normal). When the pitch changes in the link I posted, it still sounds like a knocking 808, but when I try to play it at a different pitch, it doesn't even sound good anymore. For instance, say the normal pitch of the 808 is in the note of 'A'. I then decide to pitch the 808 up to the note of 'E' during the pattern and the 808 doesn't even sound good anymore. I'm not sure if this makes any sense... it's really hard to describe a sound LOL...

I got that 808 sample they used in the song PM if you want it.

yeah that 808's used a LOT these days. lol

If you are looking for quick and effective results I would recommend you look somewhere online for a Lex Luger drum kit. I have heard some decent drum kits with solid 808 bass samples. Most of the time these samples will get the job done, good luck!

Are my 808 Kick sounds just horrible? Anytime I try to make an 808 pattern like the one in that song, the pitch changes during the pattern sounds NOTHING like that.

your kicks have a great high end but not much bottom. either you have the kicks at a high octave level or the samples themselves aren't that deep and thick. same goes for your bass/808 sounds. the octaves are too high up. drop them a couple octaves. and as far as pitch shifting/note bending/p0ortamento goes i didn't hear that from that track. all the producer did was sequence the bass notes from low to high over and over again.

you have a example of 1 of your 808 patterns?

i kinda have the same question. i think its mainly the way you compress your kick and bass and/or the sample you have

[MR44khz]

Sounds like they used a bit crusher to make it sound more analog,i can hear the clipping. Im not impressed with those drums though they sound distorted to me and mono not really wide enough for me. This dude drums sound ok right here.

all of jahlil's beats have this distorted ass 808, but it goes pretty hard honestly.
