On Manoeuvres

What were the devices/programs used for this track?

Your kick drum sounds so precise on my setup.  It's a 2.1 so the mini sub adds a great B-BOOM

Just Ableton's own again, I've been using the Drum Buss plug in a lot it just got added in 10. It's a huge improvement on the previous compressors and the presets are good as well. I used 'Crisp Comp in G' on this one.

The kick is interesting and pretty geeky. Basically I read an article about different samplers handling samples differently especially in regard to how they handle transients. The detail is in the article in the link but basically Simpler/Sampler and some other samplers don't handle the initial transient well and 'muffle' it so it doesn't have the boom. Impulse is better set up for that. So I use a kick drum on that, I also have it on it's own channel and not grouped with the other drums. Then usual sjidechaining for the Bassline, etc, etc

Really interesting article, as an Ableton user myself. I'll try your techniques, Sir

Also, you nailed the banger feeling on this
