Hi - naturally you can use ANA2 in the project - but this tutorial was made well before the release of #2 and therefore uses the initial version of the software and modifies those presets. You might want to experiment with some different percussive sounds and pitches if you want to try and replicate with #plugins:ana-2

thanks, but which two would you say is similar to the tamborine and snare for this course?

Hi @LitFam . I’m not sure which presets you have but I’m not positive there will be something close enough judging by the ones I see in front of me. I’m afraid there is no simple explanation or workaround in this case. The tutorial predates the newer version. It is perhaps a good experiment for you to see how percussive sounds are made using synthesis like this perhaps and come up with your own similar sounds. It is quite fun to make percussive sounds with a synth this way. Short attack etc. This is the best advice I can give you at this stage.

The only drums on Ana2 is Kick and Trash. So I’ll see how it goes with that, and what I come up with. Cheers Christian :slight_smile:

Thanks again for the positive feedback. Great to hear you’ve enjoyed the course. Please share your tracks that you’ve made!

hi could you also give a kick2 tutorial for these heavy and massive, but also clear bass drums ala drumcode? I would appreciate it.

Hi @MikeRope … thanks for asking! There’s a a few different directions you can come at making bigger “techno” kicks. There’s some good advice already on the site for using Kick 2.

@chris_agnelli would be the best person to ask! He’s helped me with alot of what I know already about Kick 2.

Good Course and i also would buy Kick2 :smiley:

Loving this.

The Project Setup is a real inspiration for me, thanks!

QUICK PUSH TRICK: After grouping the drums in the kit by frequencies (LOWS, MIDS, HIGHS), go ahead and color code them. I use a very pale RED, ORANGE, PURPLE. Once you do this, your Push pads will also be color coded by frequency range!!!

I’m sure this is obvious to most, but it was a revelation for me, hah.
