Your explanation during the creative tricks section of the video was excellent! It’s almost midnight and I’m resisting the urge to fire up Ableton after watching this!
This is a great video. It reminds me of a download I found once (and can't seem to find on my computer or the internet) where somebody recreated all of the classic 808 drum sounds entirely with Operator. It really opened up my mind to how these sounds are made and what's possible with some simple waveform manipulation. This video definitely makes me more confident to try messing with Operator for that sort of sound design.
I still like Kick vst more because you have more control over each aspect of the kick with nodes, rather than envelopes. But this seems like a fun way to do it too .
...for example he could use one of the midi-driven modulators to do more stuff to the sounds, because native Operator envelopes and LFOs are quite limited.
How would this method compare to using something like Kick2? Are the benefits pretty similar or is there something I get with the native Ableton tools I'm missing with Kick2?
Mainly because I just want folks to see that you can add layers and stack samples etc. In general I feel like folks are looking for a completed sound out of one device when ableton devices were designed to be layers in instrument rack.

Yeah. Another vid. You are one of the few, I click the like button before watching the video.
Omg I did the same thing. Seed to stage is a gem.
Great video. Properly explains the reason for each move before it's made.
Any chance you could do a video on making a whole kit? It would be incredible to dial in a snare or a tom a little bit tighter as well
There was one, but from a different youtuber. Let me look for it!
Here's clap and he has other sounds of the kit, too:

yeah, long live the creative kicks!
Always concise, always a really clean and efficient workflow, thanks
What i love about Ableton is there are so many ways to do one thing. I love how much focus i can put to One instrument (kick). Sound alchemy.

Sub for life, needed this and love this, thanks G

Superb lesson! 🙌🏼
Good video man. Some really practical tips and efficient (As you said) way of doing this.
Thanks. Very useful info. Thumbs up!
I love ur style and info.
will Ableton 11 be the same information ?
This is using Ableton 11. Perhaps you meant Ableton 12? And if so, yes Ableton 12 will have the same exact approach.
Never disappoint
Any reason you didn’t use the white noise osc in operator for the kick click?

thanks man
