Cool Subtractive EQ Trick For Snappier Kicks

June 17, 2011By Tomislav Zlatic3 Comments

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9y3mzbUaThA

Here’s a video tutorial by Mr.Bill, showing a simple technique for quickly adding more snap to a kick drum.

The trick is to apply substractive EQ on a parallel channel, instead of layering another kick on top or using additive EQ. A rather simple, and yet pretty handy technique!

If you liked that one, check out the other free video tutorials by Mr.Bill available on this page. All tutorials were made using Ableton Live, but most of the techniques displayed in the videos can be used in pretty much any other DAW.
