My notes from this Short
01
Stretch a hi-hat four octaves down
I pitch it down one octave, put it on stretch mode, set the pitch range to 48 and take it down four octaves. Then I add a lot of time so it's nicely stretched out.
02
Clean up the stretched sample
In the mixer, the first thing I do is remove the highs. Then I remove some low mids and add bass. It's clipping, so I add a soft clipper and an inflator.
Then I control the sub with a brick wall, stereo placement on side, so the sub is mono.
03
ValhallaRoom, sidechain and a top kick
I take ValhallaRoom and automate it, add some sidechain and add a top kick. Both go into one channel with another soft clipper and another inflator.
Go back to your rumble, add one more EQ and clean it up. If you boost the sub, you get crunch.
