Synthwave Production #1 - kicks & free samples

When making kicks for Synthwave you want a deep, reverberated sound, possibly with not much high-end. The best sounds come from analog synth keyboards, there's a pack floating around the internet with hundreds of samples taken from 200 keyboards, but that can be overwhelming and honestly you won't be using most of them anyways.

I prepared a pack with 2 of the best kicks i use all the time, download them here:

Now you should layer them and have something like this

Why layer them? Because i like the-low end of one and the high-end of the other and the mix gives me a fat powerful kick

As you can see i placed them on the same channel, and that's because i have a Parametric EQ to make it sound even better.

That's pretty much it, now your kicks will sound good and sit well in the mix.
The next tutorial will be on snares, follow me here @chillyviking
