Does anyone can telle me how to create a frenchcore kick step by step?
i saw a lot of movies but i dont get wiser of it.

And does anyone know how to make a perfect schranz beat. Only the kicks are fine to me if someone can explain.

I work with Logic, Sylenth1, Hydra, Kontakt, Massive, Ohmforce

the best tip i can give is DONT make schranz! other than that just download some frenchcore kicks use them as an example and work on a kick uve made till it sounds the same, just experiment

why not make schranz??

Yeah but i want to get a punch from 1 909 kick. And a pulse from a other sound. But i dont understand how i filter only the punch out of a kick and how i only filter the tale out of a other kick?

So if anyone knows

just cos i dont like schranz man lol was only kiddin! what DAW are you using? the best way to get the punch out of a kick is to eq it, cut out as much of the top end as you can and slightly increase the low end from about 100Hz and below this should give you that deep punchy sound, just make sure the eq doesnt clash with your bassline, and to get the hi end and tale of another kick just kinda do the opposite and bring up the eq's mid's once you have the 2 kicks sounding how you want them, resample them and import it back as a single kick drum

Hi m8, i am using logic pro studio 9, so can you help me with the equalizing?

I think a lot of people struggle with kicks because they still regard it as 1 sound. try breaking it into its separate elements so you have you will have across 3 tracks:

1. punchy kick
2. distorted tail end
3. (if necessary) sub bass that sits under 2

if you can't get a hang of sidechaining then try sequencing it so 2 and 3 are triggered on the off beat (ie 1/8th after the kicks)
