How can you really find a good use for 808 kicks?

[legend4ry]

I build most of my tracks with 808s and they batter every system ive played them on...Its about building your track around the WEIGHT of them. A kick drum doesn't have to stand out in the mid range to determine the first beat because thats what most people use a kick drum for; nothing more and nothing less.

My sig track uses 808s as the kick and bass (well, they're the same thing for that track..) doesn't sound like pop at all?

I can`t agree with legend4ry more.
Most of my music is written with 808 kicks.

I think that the short 808 kicks are fucking don, whatever your trying to make. Those long subby ones have a place in trap, some electronica, and some dance music, but they can't be as widely used. Those short ones though.

^ Yeah truth, also the Goldbaby 808s of course.

Can't say enough good things about Goldbaby, the Tape808 pack is one of my go-to's.

The 808 is amazing.

[TheWallOfSacrifice]

goldbaby stuff is top notch

I can't write basslines. I just use 808s for the bass presence in my tracks.

like others have stated the goldbaby 808 pack is the shit. on a similar tip I've found the driven drum machine sample pack to be pretty dope.

This.

Layer your 808 with a very punchy kick + a bit of eq = Huge kick

I often put a multiband compressor on the 808 kick and get rid of the high frequents.

lol. how do you NOT find a good use for 808 kicks?

[mks]

standard cunty answers.. nevermind.

Just clocked this thread.

Man, if you don't know 808 kicks and how effective they are, you probably don't know the last 30 years of hip-hop and dance music culture. Plus you need some proper speakers.

I troll quite a bit yes. It's very easy here. Most people get trolled whenever they post a question here, so it only seems fair.
