Cool for the transient shaping, i don’t know how to work with a transient shaper in a Kick ! It’s a good idea Thank You . I download your New album ( Lost in isolation in extended version on beatport but i think you can do another album . Lol it’s a Joke , you are really a big créatif Artist it’s a very good Album .

Solid tutorial, as always. Many thx.
Links to plugins pls?
Ableton user here, so not sure if backburn(?) is native to Cubase. Hoping it’s a vst plugin.
Again, many thx.
Nice tutorial!
Backbone is a Steinberg plugin, although not native to Cubsae so you can install and run it in any DAW.
great tutorial about kick pocessing!
Hey Nate, I don’t get the option to transfer the kick sample from Sampler to Backbone. I get only Groove Agent SE and Padshop 2. Not sure if it might be due to Backbone trial license but Steinberg said “no restriction” with trial version. Any tips for this?
I am using Cubase 10.5 Pro
P.S. Thanks for that awesome tip for Neutron 3 Compressor
Nice!
When boosting the kick to make punchier should it try to be at a lower db, that obvi fits appropriately? Enjoyed it tho!
Really interesting looking forward to applying my own concepts to this plugin i have some great ideas
Pretty sure that transfer feature came in Cubase 11… at least for backbone. I’m not 100% sure though.
Very informative
Great tutorial. Thank you so much.
