Web Clip 1: This audio clip illustrates several of the techniques discussed in Making Tracks. In the first two bars, the kick is unprocessed. In bars 3 and 4, it’s bandpass-filtered for a very subtle sonic change. In bars 5 and 6, it’s distorted, and in bars 7 and 8 automation is applied to the envelope attack time to muffle the hits in the middle of each bar. This file was created in Image Line FL Studio 8, using FL Studio’s built-in drum sound library, Image Line Sytrus for the comp and high string sounds, and U-He Zebra2 for the bass.
