Hey did anyone actually get the kick working?
Hi there @Fullmetal123
What do you mean exactly ? Is it something technical about how to get the same kick or is the kick just not sounding right to you in your own Mix ?
Thx for reply. The preset for KICK doesn’t load in the VST. I’m using KICK 2 actually, so could be why. I recreated the Sub/Bass part of the kick following the lesson, but the right click is missing. Do you know how to get the preset working?
@Fullmetal123
Aah OK, got it now, thanks for clarifying this 
Yes you’re right, that Kick was done using Kick NR edition, so KICK 2 won’t load the preset unfortunately, presets aren’t compatible between versions. There’s a Kick 2 presets convertor included in Kick 2 download but it will only work if you have the previous version of Kick plugin installed on your computer as well as the preset, so that’s also not an option here.
Haven’t got the previous version of Kick myself and I’ve downloaded the resources files to check the project & the samples but this “7skies” click audio file is not included, so the only solution here is to redesign the Kick from scratch in Kick 2. Following the visual info you’ll have in the video, you’ll get quite close for the sub part of the kick and for the click sound, best you can do is to use one that’s sounds close. No other choice than making a new kick by ear inside Kick 2 unfortunately.
For S.A Team : @phil_johnston it would be nice to have an updated Kick 2 preset added to the course resources to avoid this issue IMO. Could you please do one and update the resources ?
This Tutorial is extremely good and teaches a lot of great techniques, but is desperately in need of refreshed resource files. Even if you own every one of the plugins used, unless you have older versions installed (some of which you can’t get), you won’t hear much.
This Logic Pro X file uses:
Native Instruments Kontakt 5 (Now updated to Kontakt 6)
Cable Guys Filter Shaper (Now updated to Filter Shaper 3)
Sonic Academy Kick - Nicky Romero Version (Now Kick 2 - and this is a BIG part of this tutorial obviously)
Sonic Academy A.N.A. (Now ANA 2)
Pleasurize Music Foundation TT Meter (Now TT Meter MkII)
Sugar Bytes Wow (Now WOW 2)
Camel Audio Camel Crusher (eh… not really available, but “Phat FX” in Logic is similar as the file will remind you when you open it in a new version of Logic Pro).
Now I realize its impossible to keep all of the tutorials updated working year to year, but who better to fix it than SA? I mean ostensibly you have the old and new versions and can just load the new version of the plugins (especially in the cases of Kick and ANA), and convert the patches over - easy peasy.
This tutorial is so good it warrants a little love put into it to shape it up. If it can’t be polished up, then maybe its time for it to come down 
At the very least, based on the comments, update the Kick situation 
(continuation of my previous comment…)
I actually forgot a couple plugins… (only because I still have the old versions in this computer and they loaded okay).
FXPANSION Strobe (Now Strobe 2)
Reveal Spire (Now Spire 1.5)
Ultimately, if you watch the entire series, you can approximate the whole thing (and from a learning perspective, arguably, this may force one into some much deeper learning), but there is something to be said for the instant satisfaction of the track loading up and working - and again, at LEAST the kick drum (and since Sonic Academy created the ANA and Kick plugins, there isn’t really a good excuse why at least these don’t work on load).
Maybe a solution is to provide save the patches into the resources so at least those could be loaded into the new versions of the plugins that support legacy import.
