Sub effect?!

[Heabow]

I'm currently working on a mix and I'd like to add some 'sub effects' here and there, you know this "boom" we can hear on the Chimaira's Resurrection or on the first Amaranthe full length. I tried to do this using BOOM which is included with PT but it hasn't not been convincing.

Actually, I don't know really how low it has to be that we can feel it but hear it even on basic/small speakers . 50-60hz? 80-90hz? Is there a trick or a virtual instrument that provide good sounds for that purpose?

Google: Sub drop

Go check the joey sturgis webpage. He sells a very nice boom, only 5 dollars or something.

Nice! I think I'll be able to find something good Thanks guys!

If you haven't found something by tomorrow I can hook you up

I'm just not near my PC for the evening

That's really cool of you man.
I'll first try with the links above. I've already downloaded the Joey Sturgis bass drop Looks like it kicks ass!

Cameron from Chango Studios is selling 5 of his drops for $10.

Only thing is you have to wait until he emails them to you before you get them. Which I've seen can be fro
one day to even a whole week if he's super busy.

So, not only do you NOT get to preview them in some way, you don't get an automatic email when you buy them?

... People seriously buy these?

 

[Tommy Evans]

Haha nope. It sucks but luckily others have bitten the bullet for us and can verify they sound good. I think three out of the 5 are useable. The other two are just comically long or weak.

Just make a sine wave, set to 110-130hz for the beginning and 20hz for the end and adjust the time.

I've used a TR-808 kick sample.

I will see that although I think I have what I was looking for... This Joey Sturgis thing is great!

And yes I read that many people use a TR808 kick to do that.

Thanks for your input guys!

+1 Make your own! Any synth - sine wave - set pitch...then the length of the drop, pitch modulation, etc. envelopes are completely customised by YOU, to YOUR mix.

+100

I cannot in good faith tell someone to buy a sound effect that can be made/replicated so easily.

 

[Heabow]

^ Yeah agreed with the idea. BUT this is a very good start for me cause I didn't know how it 'has to' sound frequency wise, etc. So now I have some, I can make more personal drops by myself + you can always work on a bass drop that has made by someone else and tweak to fit your mix - most of all of us do that with Slate kicks/snare for example so why not with an effect that is just an effect actually?

btw happy brutal christmas to you guyz
