Sub Kick Trick w/ the Ableton Filter Delay
Posted on December 7th, 2008 by admin
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.

Do ppl actually come to your page and understand what the hell your talking about here with the Sub Kick lol?
People actually come here?
No really, I guess I could expand a bit on the effect in the post, but it’s mainly aimed at people who already know what the “sub kick trick” is…
