Only truly gifted drummers are able to 3D kick.

 

I find it's better to sniff glue after you've got the mix to see how the general public may hear the track.

 

The ups and downs of drugs is another discussion that I'd rather not rehash here, but there's nothing like really nailing a bit and thinking "wow, that's the shit, I really went out there, lets hear it back!" and noticing that a) you've accidentally recording the chain with an absolute mess of a pile of FX printed and b) you forgot to press record in the first place.

Moral of the story: get a sober person to handle the recording and keep to just playing.

Not that it has ever happened to me, no siree, no...

 

Are you looking to collab any time soon? Asking for a fiend.

 

what kind of drum loop if i may ask? tribal? electro? house? or just some weird drum loop yes

 

There's also the flip side to that coin.

I've heard friends (not me, no, definitely not) telling me about the times they were absolutely SMASHED on drugs, just improvising with whatever a-bit-more-than-rudimentary-basics setups at hand (say, like, VCV Rack ?) and listening to it the next day to realize they made incredible soundscapes and impossible rhythmic permutations they couldn't even dream of while sober.

But, as always, say no to drugz

this "jedi mindtrick" might help you here.

at the beginning of youre next session, ask youreself:

do i want to make drums?
or
do i want to make music?

youre answer informs you where the focus should be for the session.

as inspiration,
for the initial stage of a new tune (still talking drums) instead of "making a beat", per say,
limit yourself to "find the pulse" - "the heartbeat" of the song. using minimal amount of sounds.
you dont HAVE to use drumsounds, you can create/find the pulse/hearbeat with almost any instrument if you play around.

from there, you start playing/vibing/jamming/noodling away

 

You might try inverting you process. for example Choose a scale you love and just tinker a little piano with it, choose what you like and then put beats.

 

Not quite right (and not funny unless you enjoy what you do anyway): A multiband processor with an internal sidechain doesn't need a different bus/source to be triggered. It is sufficient to adjust the sidechain bandwidth to the fundamentals of the kick. So, the triggered mids will glue the entire rhythmic performance of the track together.
The dynamics of the kick itself remain untouched. That's correct.
