My notes from this Short
01
Duplicate the crunch and move it
The first thing I do is take the crunch, duplicate it and make it unique. Open up the volume and play it. It sounds different.
If you move it around, you get different phasing, meaning that you get different sounds from this kick.
02
Trim and normalize the copy
Open the duplicated crunch, change the in and out, and normalize it so it has a little bit more volume. Then play it and find a sweet spot, to get a little bit more crunch at the end of your kick.
03
Distortion brings out the phasing
This only works if your crunch already has some distortion in the mixer, otherwise it will sound really bland. Adding distortion will change the phasing and accentuate the differences you make.
