Hello, I’m reaching out to you because I’m struggling to create this kind of kick with the AR. I understand the basic concept: BD and SD on separate layers, each using a different kick (2 BD plastics?). One should be filtered with a high-pass filter (HPF), and the other with a low-pass filter (LPF). There’s a lot of overdrive and distortion involved.
Similar types of kicks are widely used by artists like Acidpach, Choko, etc. from Cult Collective and SHZ Records, but they use Ableton effects.
I want to clarify that my goal is not to replicate it exactly but truly to understand how to design a kick like this. The artist only uses AR effects, no resampling or samples, and no post-master effects.
If you have any insights or suggestions…
