found out what it was

it's like shakers or some junk.

Doesn't sound too hard to make, just sounds like the bass' waveform has a gentle spike at the start..

layer different 808 samples

Are you asking what are the shakers and hats? They're shakers and hats.

Hahaha, they're often used to set the pacing. Mind you the tempo can be constant, but you can make a track drive or languish depending on how you program those tops stuff. Also used to put the groove, or shuffle, or just greasiness into the track.

thanks for the reply's guys

im not on about the hats , is a sort of 'whoosh' i cant describe it i can just hear it lol

but it really makes the tracks sound/feel so much better

well ill just have to keep experimenting
cheers

That, my friend - is youtube compression ahha!

You can get a similar effect by bouncing your hats at a low-ish quality mp3 and layering it low-ish in the mix over your 'dry' hats.

if your talking about the noise on the actual kick drum, i think that may just be the youtube compression you're hearing. you could replicate it with a bitcrusher, that adds noise to a kick. Otherwise, just add a burst of white noise to the front of your kickdrum and have a 5-30 ms envelope on a LPF 'gate' it, if u will.

i thought that initially but on pangaea's memories 12'' it's there and hearing things through other players etcetc it's still there . ! i'm going to go back into hiding for a bit to fish out as many tracks as i can with that sound.
ill report back with my results



on another note , the downgraded quality of hats and shakers through youtube is really nice - i might be weird for thinking it lol but i am who i am

I've been known to bitcrush and low pass hats and shakers. So far no one has kicked down my door and taken me to a camp.

haha, just make beats usually, never really take stuff to like a point where there is a beginning middle and end, like where it is a song.
