      ​@@srgsbeats what is blud yapping about? 😭 An 808 is an old ass drum machine that had a unique kick sound. Which was stretched out to make the modern 808 bass in trap music today. Nowadays you can make them yourself with a sine wave by messing with the attack and decay and adding fx. An 808 is NOT A BASS. Nor a bass sound. These terms have been watered down by modern beatmakers so much they have lost their original meaning.

    If you do this and use the 808 as a bass&kick combo you could place all the 808s on the same note and make them slide(really fast) to the note you want the 808 to play. That way the transient/kick sounds the same on all the notes you want the 808 to play

  • @MrCool144
    @MrCool144 4 місяці тому

    The pitch bend in the beginning is literally the 808 sound. Without it its just boring bass. The pitch bend is to simulate hitting a tom head thats a litter tighter on top and looser on the bottom. All people who program 808 samples from scratch know this. The original 808 was actually a kick drum. These days most producers just put the kick and the bass seperate. But theres something special about recreating the original formula. Beyond usung the pitch envelope you also need to decay a cutoff filter so that you get more harmonics on your attack and more sub on your release. If you want to make a original kind of 808 and dont want to start from scratch you should try fruity kick together with lowlifter. Its a quick stock way to get started

    And nice trick, simple as it gets, for me (producer & engineer, 13 years experience) it's just common sense to use ADSR to enhance punch of something, BUT for someone just starting with music, this is like a golden shortcut to make those beats stand out from the masses 😎
    That's very noble from you to forward your knowledge direct to the newbies/starters and not keeping this "secret" for yourself, or even worse, selling high priced courses with very basic common sense knowledge, like most of the tutorial-makers are doing those days 😮‍💨🏅🏅🏅

      it's like adding a top kick to the 808 the long bass tail is still there man 💀💀💀

      but you generate the attack directly from the 808 instead of adding the "kick" haha

    Nice kick bro💀
    Dont do this, instead just like... Do the thing thst he told you not to do it? Theres nothing wrong with it and pitch doesnt have anything to do with how punchy an 808 feels, its just the clipping and loudness of it
