Sub Kick Trick w/ the Ableton Filter Delay
I was looking for an easier and quicker way to achieve the 50Hz sub kick trick in Ableton Live, rather than have to duplicate a kick track, filter out the frequencies and delay the whole track…
I have come up with a solution with the Filter Delay.
I will assume everyone knows what the sub kick trick is and when it is necessary to use it, so with out further ado I will just present this trick as a handy little screenshot.
Filter Delay Settings:
- L+R ON
- Filter ON
- Filter Freq @ 50Hz
- Q @ .50
- Delay set to Time @ 20ms (This is the 50Hz wavelength)
- Feedback set to 0
- Pan to the center
- Leave dry volume @ 0dB
- Adjust delay volume to taste, but use 0dB as a starting point and go from there.
