Do you synthesize your kick drums or use samples?
I am sure you will agree that there are many reasons to synthesize your kick drums rather than use samples. With the technique mentioned above, you can pitch-perfect kick drums for less clutter in the sub-bass frequency range. In addition to this, your drums become melodic instruments, and you gain more control over the fundamental drum texture.
Why are snare drums so difficult to synthesize?
Indeed, measurements of real snare drums suggest that, for a realistic sound, we must add further modules and increase the complexity rather than reduce it. This is because the frequencies produced by the 0,1 mode decay far more quickly than the other partials... sometimes at more than twice the rate.
Can a Groove Agent be used to synthesise drums?
Groove Agent itself provides you with other ways of creating original drum sounds too. It allows you to stack and layer multiple sounds on a single pad, and while its various synthesis stages can be relatively basic, you can seed those stages with any source samples that you like.
Which is the best synth for making drums?
One of the best tools for making drum sounds is the good ol’ subtractive synth. Some synthesisers are better suited to the task than others. Retrologue, which comes bundled with Cubase, can certainly make a go of it.
