Pricing and Availability
Big Kick is available for both Mac and PC for $65 and is available in both 32- and 64- bit formats. Additional product information is available from the Plugin Boutique.
This looks ok if you wanna stay with samples but if anyone doesn’t know, check out Kick by – http://www.sonicacademy.com/kick. Possibly the perfect interface for easily crafting and tweaking the perfect kick. Cheaper too (just an avid fan)
In case you missed the headline, this is a drum synth, not a sample library.
Let’s all just agree your both wrong.
It uses samples for the attack and a synthesizer section for the “body” (sustain/release/subs) of the kick.
Let’s also just agree it looks stupid.
Only if we can all agree it is “you’re both wrong.”
Indeed it does look stupid. I just meant it’s the only reason you might use it
me is right that it’s use samples
He’s wrong that it looks stupid,it looks very nice ( same layout like volume shaper).
I used the demo and Im convinced.
For me this is the plugin of 2014 till now.
My favorite plugin in 2013 was volumeshaper 3.
These are the plugins where I live for and wait every day for to come out,nothing fancy,just simple to use and effective.
This will be a winner.
just make your music and don’t worry about the kick because with this it will always fit with the best quality possible.
and you can use it one everything(percussion hi hats etc…) ,not only kicks
plugins like this should be standard in all DAW’s.
Looks pretty nice 🙂
whats that £40
could be worth a punt
Looks interesting. I’ll give it a go. Thanks!
BTW, Anyone into drum madness should def check out BreakTweaker. It has changed the way I go about editing drum sequences, and the library has excellent material to work with.
They raised the price :(.
