The Free 808 Samples by Angelic Vibes sample pack includes 20 custom-made 808s, ideal for adding deep, resonant bass to your beats.

Each sample is EQ’d and compressed, ensuring a high-quality sound that fits into modern music production.

The samples are also key-labeled, making it easy to match them with the key of your track.

This pack provides the hard-hitting low-end essential for genres like hip-hop, trap, and future bass.

Tuning the 808s: Ensure each 808 sample is in tune with the key of your track. Use a tuner plugin or the pitch adjustment feature in your DAW to match the sample’s pitch to your song’s key. This helps the 808s blend seamlessly with other elements in your mix.
Layering for Impact: Combine the 808 samples with other bass elements or kicks to create a fuller, more impactful sound. For instance, layer a punchy kick with an 808 to add more attack to the low-end. Adjust the volume and EQ settings to ensure that each layer complements the other without causing muddiness.
EQ and Filtering: Use EQ to carve out space for the 808s in your mix. Cut unnecessary low frequencies from other instruments to prevent them from clashing with the 808. Additionally, apply a low-pass filter to the 808s to remove any high-end frequencies that might interfere with other elements in your track.
Envelope Shaping: Adjust the ADSR (Attack, Decay, Sustain, Release) settings of the 808 samples to fit the rhythm and groove of your track. For a tighter, more controlled bass, shorten the decay and release times. For a more sustained and booming bass, increase the sustain and release times.
Sidechain Compression: Apply sidechain compression to the 808s using the kick drum as the trigger. This technique will create a pumping effect, allowing the kick to cut through the mix while maintaining the presence of the 808. Adjust the threshold and ratio settings to achieve the desired level of compression.
