Subdrops ala job for a cowboy, all shall perish etc..

[ExDown]

Hi guys,
I know theres threads about this already, but I still haven't found my idealistic supdrop

Just wondering if someone could provide me one or two that sound as fat and smooth like Job's/Perish stuff!

Thanks in advance

In those threads you'll find nearly 500 different subdrops and none of them is idealistic? A lot of them suck but you should find one in between.

try those in the BD folder...

or make your own.

Alright, I'm going to ask the most stupid question that can be asked in a thread about subdrops:

"What exactly are subdrops or how do you use 'em?". Haha!

No, seriously ... what do you do with that samples? Do you just drumagog them onto the bass-drum-track or do you use them to accentuate certain kick-hits?

 

[greyskull]

just drop it in before the bit where it all goes slow and that.
I think its a called a 'beat down' or '2 step'
lol

 

[AdamWathan]

Yeah you just throw them in to accentuate certain parts, usually right at the beginning of a big chugga chug breakdown, or at the beginning of every bar if you're going to get really nuts, haha...

Eown, you should be able to find something in that file that Emdprodukt linked to, there is a reason that a subdrop is called an 808... I think the one I normally use is BD2510 or something similar.

 

[MetalJonesy]

yeah its to acentuate certain moments of a song that requires such an effect, have a listen to As I Lay Dyings song called Reflection, theres subdrops at: 1.55, 2.00 and a few others in time with the start of each bar almost

 

[punkrockacademyfightsong]

when you wanna hear total mayhem and it's just not there, that's when you throw in a subdrop.
my opinion is, the more sparingly, the better

 

[JoeJackson]

Oooookay, I assumed that, just wanted to clarify that.

Thanks, Dudes

 

[ExDown]

Ok, thanks guys!
Hopefully I'll figure out how to actually make a 808 sample sound good... cuz I've tried it without success.

 

[PhilR]

I'm gonna be trying one of these out live tonight. Got me a Boss RC-2 pedal for some boom action. \m/

2 stepping is actually something from oldschool hardcore and more like...a dance.

funny... I just make a new audio track and put the one I like on the right place. booooooooooooooooooooooom. without ANY EQ. do you use a subwoofer for mixing?

Or in the happy world of Gavin and Lasse, wherever a song changes section!

No, I have Krk VXT6 for mixing only.. bass enough for me
I tried out the stuff you posted, and the BD folder was awesome! Thanks my sweet produkt!!

Awwwwww, don't do that!!! First time I did someone a favour here

Yea i have 3 bass drop files i picked up on this forum a long time ago but none of them ever sound like the ones i love in my favorite bands albums. Shoot i even hear local bands with them that sound great on there recordings. I need to find there engineer and ask them for it i guess.

 

[broken81]

actually these ones i just downloaded here seem much beter than what i have already. SCHWEEET

From the guy that did Job For A Cowboy:

I use an 808 kick sample (the longest sustaining one I could find, they're all over the internet) and run it through Waves RBass to generate some extra harmonics to enhance the subsonic feeling of the bass drop. It works great with no other processing.

my favorite sub-drop(i like to call them bass pushes) is at 2:14 in Reciprical by origin, right before those fast arp twitches.

would you guys consider the one in the beggining of "the fury" by decap a sub drop?
