lol yet again... a sub drop question..

[jesterroot4]

i searched the forum and cudnt find wat i wanted..

so ........
i have a few sub drops.. (wav files) and have been using them for ages...

but! i'm having troubles mixing them in.. and i'm wondering if i need to be side chaining it against anything.. because its like, it will always be too loud and just distort the whole track real bad or it will be too quite... and i feel i need more subs drops..

soo.. any tips for fitting them in nicely to get maximum impact without fukin up the track, distorting, or ducking to hard?

and do you guys have some kewl sub drop file u use alot, that sound the shit?

listen to this clip, and see how it fits just nice, not to big, but definatly has a hard hitting impact:

sounds super distorted on my system... Anytime I've got sub drops in, I've got them into the sidechain on a multiband compressor on the stereobus, so that a lot of other lows drop out when the sub drops hit. The samples I usually use are from 808 kits

Any chance somebody could share some of those sub drop samples with me? Would like to scatter a few around some of my stuff, the way vacant stare used to

This simple free software is what I use to create sub bass drops:

It's called Stomper.

Thanks! I'll have to fire up the old pc to check this one out

i tried downloading it 'version 5' and an error came up when it was uploading and didnt work and version 4 doesnt exist on the site anymore. i clicked the link and it said it doesnt exist.

lol wat do i do haha

d'oh!

That sucks. It's been a while, perhaps that whole thing was abandoned a long time ago. Considering this is free software, I don't know why I couldn't give you a copy. I'll dig it up when I get home.

For me, too, please

Yeah, I tried downloading the stomper like 6 months ago and had the same problem. Error on the page, etc.

You can't set up sidechains in Nuendo, though, can you?

This sounds like a good idea...

If not, I wonder if I could run the low output sources (bass guitar, kick drum, bass drop, etc.) to a group channel, apply the mb comp there before it even hits the master bus?
