layering a sub kick sample at say 30 hz and another at 60hz
hello all,
Sorry if that has already been asked before but couldn't find answer in forum. how would you go about layering a sub kick at say 30hz with another kick sample at 60hz so to make into one new sample that I could play on one pad? Or if there was a way to hit one pad and it would also trigger another pad or sample as well?
On a diff note, while headphones obviously aren't the ideal choice for referencing a mix, can any of you guys recommend a nice pair of headphones to get some idea of the low end? I've only got my ear buds and a pair of Sony headphones which tend to sound bright to me and give more high end clarity but not so much on low end. That being said, if I have a pair of headphones that accentuate the low end too much, I might end up easing up too much on my kickstand bass so the mix ends up lacking oomph.
Thanks in advance

The ability to "link" pads, or have one pad trigger another is a very popular feature request, hopefully we will have it soon! The other part of your question is another feature request that we hope to see- resampling to another pad...
Workaround-
Create drum machine
Load two samples you wish to combine
Either draw or tap pads so the samples play once
Switch to sequencer window
Choose export (all tracks), and remember where you save it
Reopen drum machine, load new combined sample onto a pad
As far as headphones, I've used the Sony mdr-7506's for years
Much appreciated.
I also have the same pair of headphones but thought there might be another pair that ppl use for referencing low kicks.
thanks again!
I was a total devotee of Sony MDR's over the years, until I learned something: They crossfeed.

Try to hard-pan, to listen to just the right or the left channel.
Now listen to the opposite side, the side that should have no signal.
Can anything be heard? If yes, then the headphones crossfeed.
I didn't want my headphones adding any to my sounds, so I found the Denons.
They are the best thing since sliced bread, I'm telling you these are the ones-!
Personal preference I suppose.
The article talks about circuitry to add "cross feed", which I think most budget headphone amps have anyway. It's called cross talk.
Anyway, I would suspect that the Denons are severely colored, as they are hifi headphones
Anyway, have a look at reviews, they're much better than i can write...

And try a pair on-! they're really great
I know it may not be just what you wanted, but you could set up layers on the keyboard instrument. It can trigger multiple samples per note, controlled by layer and zone.
So in a way, it is possible even now. Hope this helps...
That's a great tip!
@savage - i'd prefer to play it at same time to "feel" it. I guess i could feel it when trying ideas out, then once i've made up my mind, go back and just re-do the track with the 2nd kick. Although this doesn't sound fun to me and would be extra steps/buzzkill. I actually bought Auria specifically for DrumAGog to sort of do what you recommended, but that would be another workflow method.
