Not enough bottom end in your mix? Kick drum a bit weedy, thin or disappointingly lightweight? Using Logic Pro's SubBass plug-in is a well documented method for synthesising very low frequencies where none previously exist, but its use is fraught with the danger of creating multiple clashing frequencies which can cause havoc and potentially wreck a mix with a mess of low end, some of which can't even be heard, unless you have monitors the size of a house. This article shows you how to double the kick drum with a pure sine tone (no harmonics to complicate matters) whose frequency you can control, in both Logic Pro and Pro Tools.

In Logic Pro:

第1步:测试振荡器

有两个简单的方法来访问一个纯正弦波音在Logic Pro。首先是没有加载的采样仪器的使用与EXS24取样,但是这需要发挥的MIDI音符信息。二是测试振荡器,一个方便的小工具,旨在测试您的监控系统和您的聆听空间的声学特性的响应。当你一个实例加载到软件乐器通道的I / O( 实用的输入槽

第2步:打开大门

插入相同的信道测试振荡器噪声门插件,然后将其侧链输入大鼓跟踪你想要双音轨。调整,使其只开放大鼓播放时噪声门的门槛。

第3步:调整你的小组

检查测试振荡器是扮演一个正弦波,其频率较低得法“subby”为您的组合(也许是50到60赫兹)的东西 - 但请确保你真的可以听到它在做什么,因为你不想释放一个昂贵的扬声器系统的组合,会破坏!

更精确的控制,您可以通过按住 Shift键减慢一样的频率拨号控制运动。另外,您可以通过双击频域手动输入值,输入一个数字,按回车键。 “信封”的分音可以使用噪声门上的攻击和释放控制,但要小心形,非常低的值可能导致点击。

在Pro Tools

在Pro Tools的做法非常相似,有一个或两个细微的差别。产生正弦波信号发生器插件-点击第一个插入插槽上的辅助输入轨道和插件

然后连接键输入一个未使用的巴士。然后,您可以发送到这个总线从鼓的音轨发送插槽。终于轮到了侧链上按一下“小钥匙”图标言“侧链”的右侧插在接口上的权利。噪音门的参数调整的味道,以及信号发生器的频率。

而这一切就是这么简单!

Great tip! Very straightforward approach and explanation.

Great tip. I usually use the EXS default tone, but now I am keen to use the test oscillator plug-in

hey, cheers for the vid! i got a couple of questions which are pretty silly probably.

firstly, i set a kick drum on a track strip, standard 4 beat.
i then opened another track strip to open the test oscilator but didnt hear anything? was i meant to open it on the same strip as the kick?

secondly, if im sidechaing the noise gate to the kick drum to i need to convert it to audio first or leave it as midi?

thanks again

The arrangements for doing this with a software instrument track (as opposed to an audio track) are slightly different.

Firstly, the test oscillator should be opened as an instrument in the input slot - it is possible to open it as an insert plug-in but this tip won't work if you do that

For the software instrument kick drum track, these don't appear as available inputs to the sidechain, so you will need to send its output to an aux channel via an available bus. So create an aux channel first, then choose a bus as its input, then connect the output of the kick drum track to that bus. Once you have connected the bus it will be available as a sidechain input to the Noise gate.

Hope that helps.
drusif
hmm that makes sense, think i no how to do the aux channel and bus, never done it before but really need to start practising it so i can send all my drums through the bus.

however im not sure how to open the test oscilator as an instrument? where do i find that option?

Open a new software instrument track, go to the I/O section of the channel strip, choose 'Test Oscillator' from the upper of the two boxes (it should be blank, the lower one being the output). Make sure you don't choose it as a plug-in from the Inserts section!

Nice! This is an old school trick we used a lot with outboard gates and a hardware studio calibration oscillator. I used this same technique in Logic awhile ago on a track for a younger artist with a not-so-deep kick drum. He was blown away with how I got the freq's so low, yet separate from the rest of the low end. The key is to use a sign wave!

Glad to see it has life in the digital world.

Thanks, Mike!
