Well I have a Korg Triton workstation, and I'm pretty satisfied with it. But one concern that comes to my mind is, how do you get that real rumbling kick drum? Do I have to explore my triton or do I have to buy a certain expansion card or something?

That will be combo of mic placement and eq.

True. The kick itself has the most to do with it. If the kick sounds like crap, good mics will capture a great picture of that crap.
Good kick, good mics and pre's=good sound.

On the money track, i should have said it, beacuse ive had a problem getting a good kick sound lately, and ive bought a new skin(evans e-mad=sweet), tuned, retuned, tuned again, experimented with diferant pading in the kick. and im still not 100% happy, i think im to anal.
 
I'm confused here. It seems like Da Arsun is asking how to get a good kick sound from his Triton, and you guys are telling him how to get a good kick sound from a real bass drum (e.g. reference to an Evans head).

So how can I mount a new Evans head on my Triton? ;) :eek: :p

Are you guys suggesting that the best way is to run the Triton through an adiquately bassy amp, and then Mic the amp?
 
I know pretty much nothing about your Triton, but yes the answer is "explore your triton".

You would have better luck with this in the Keyboard forum. I'm sure the Tritons allow you to import samples into them. In this case you could find a kick sound you like and bring it in. I'm sure they also allow a certain amount of editing of the sounds as well.
 
Well, since we've already started to field this Synth question in the drum forum...

Does anyone know of any techniques like using a Toob pre, or some kind of low frequency restoration device that can add some phat to the ass of low frequency synth drum sounds? What about EQing?

This isn't the first time I've seen topics like loops, plug-ins, and drum machines discussed in here, so even though the Keyboard forum might get more traffic, it doesn't seem like a Drum Sound related topic would really be foreign to this forum.

Wouldn't this also be an issue that users of Electronic Kits might want to address for recording?
 
Could you give us an example of what you're talking about?

"Rumbling", to me, describes something you try ot get rid of, not something that you want to include.
