The Secret To Killer 808s: The Ultimate Guide
By: Author Matt
Posted on Last updated: 06/06/2023
Categories Production Guides
KEY TAKEAWAYS:
808s have become a staple of most modern-day music and are characterized by a deep, punchy sub-bass tone often heard layered with a song’s kick drum. The name 808 comes from the TR-808 drum machine made in the 1980s.
The Iconic 808
Are you a producer looking to take your sound to the next level? If so, pay close attention to this blog post.
The 808 bass is one of the most influential sounds in modern music production, from Hip-Hop to EDM and beyond.
In this ultimate guide to 808s, we’ll cover everything you need to know about the iconic bass drum sound, from its origins to its uses in different genres.
With this knowledge, you’ll be able to make better music and hone your production skills.
What are 808s?
808s are a type of drum machine that has become synonymous with the sound of Hip-Hop , Trap , and EDM music.
They were first created in the early 1980s by the Roland Corporation .
They quickly became one of the most iconic hardware used in music production.
The “808” name comes from its model number: TR-808 . It was designed to emulate the sounds of various percussion instruments and bass drums found in popular music at the time.
The distinct characteristic of an 808 is its deep and punchy low end , which is achieved by using sine wave oscillators tuned to produce very low frequencies .
The 808 drum machine was initially designed to emulate natural drum sounds. Still, its unique tone and flexibility soon made it one of the studio’s most sought-after equipment. Its sound was so iconic that it has been described as the “ heartbeat ” of hip-hop.
The most famous component of the 808 is its bass drum , which creates a powerful and distinct sound that can be heard in countless songs from different genres.
This distinctive bass sound has become known as the “ 808 kick “, which is used in many genres of music as an essential component of modern production .
Beyond its use in electronic music, the 808 has also made its way into pop and rock records, providing a powerful backbone to songs from Beyonce , Katy Perry , and Daft Punk .
The influence of the 808 can be heard in all kinds of contemporary music today, from rap to rock and even EDM .
Creating An 808 Bass Sound
You have a couple of options for creating an 808 Bass sound.
First, you could shell out the money to purchase an original TR-808 machine and do it that way.
The big problem here is that the TR-808 has become a collector’s item , and good luck getting your hands on one for less than a couple thousand dollars at least.
So, this option is out of the question for most producers.
Your next option is to get your hands on some samples of the TR-808.
This is easier than it seems.
Several production companies have recorded the TR 808 drum machine. They have those recordings available for purchase so you can use them directly in your music for a relatively low price .
But what if you want more freedom or control over the sounds?
It may be different from an authentic TR 808 since the sounds won’t have the same character as the original equipment, but it’s relatively easy to create an 808 bass-style sound with a modern synthesizer .
That’s how most 808 sounds you hear in music on the radio these days have been made.
Here are the steps for creating an 808 bass from scratch :
1. Start with a simple synth patch with a sine wave , square wave , or triangle wave as the main oscillators .
2. Use an envelope with a very short attack and decay and no sustain to modulate the pitch . This will give it that initial thump or punch in the beginning.
3. You may also want to use a filter cutoff to shape the tone, keeping it relatively low for maximum effect .
Unsure how to get the samples to play? Check out our article on how to trigger samples in Ableton .
Using An 808 Bass In Your Productions
Using 808s in your music can give your beats and songs an incredible low-end foundation to build. They can provide deep bass lines that draw attention to your song and add texture and color to a mix. They can even take the place of traditional bass lines .
When using 808s in your music, there are a few key points to keep in mind.
- Adjust the volume of the 808 so that it doesn’t overpower the other elements in the mix. This is especially important if you use multiple 808s on the same track.
- Consider layering different 808 sounds together to create unique effects and textures . For example, you could layer a distorted 808 with a clean one to get a thick low-end sound.
- Consider adding effects to your 808s . Reverb , delay , and saturation are all great tools for creating unique sounds with your 808s.
- Finally, experiment with different patterns and rhythms when creating 808 lines. Try different accents , octaves , and velocities to make exciting and dynamic parts.
By keeping these tips in mind, you can create exciting and unique sounds with your 808s that will help you stand out from the crowd!
Advanced 808 Techniques
808 bass is a powerful and versatile tool for adding low-end power to your music productions. While the basics of 808s are relatively straightforward, you can use plenty of advanced techniques to add depth and complexity to your sound.
One of the most popular advanced 808 techniques is sidechaining . Sidechaining allows you to make 808 bass lines react to other sounds in the mix, creating interesting dynamic changes in the groove.
You can also use distortion on your 808 basslines to add extra character . Adding warmth and dirt to the low end can give your 808s a gritty texture that will cut through the mix and draw the listener’s attention.
If you want to create more complex 808 lines, consider adding automation to your 808s . Automation allows you to easily adjust parameters such as volume , filter cutoff , and distortion amount over time . This can give your 808s a more varied and evolving feel that can bring your track to life.
Finally, remember EQ !
By carefully shaping the frequency spectrum of your 808s, you can ensure that they fit well in your mix. You can boost frequencies that need to be heard and attenuate frequencies that may compete with other mix elements.
To modify the sounds, you need to be able to load them into your DAW. If you’re a REAPER user, check out our article on how to use drum samples in REAPER .
Related Questions
Do they still make the 808 drum machine.
No, the Roland TR-808 Rhythm Composer, commonly known as the 808 drum machine, is a discontinued product that was first released in 1980.
While it is no longer in production, it remains a highly sought-after and influential piece of music equipment, and its sound continues to be used in many different genres of music. Some companies have made clones of the 808. But Roland itself has yet to create new units of the 808.
How Do You Get 808 To Cut Itself?
By making it monophonic. This means that only one note can be played at once.
Should I Saturate My 808s?
It depends on the type of sound you’re trying to achieve and personal preference, but adding saturation can add warmth, character, and depth and help your 808 cut through the mix.
What dB Should 808s Be In The Mix?
Somewhere in the range of -18dB to -13dB . Of course, this varies based on genre and taste.
Do 808s Need Compression?
No, not necessarily. But it can be beneficial in most circumstances.
808s are a big part of modern music, regardless of genre. A skilled producer would know how and when to use them. If you’re unsure what level of producer you are, then check out our article on a production battle between a noob and a pro producer .

Mastering the 808: Learn What is an 808 and How to Use it in Your Mix
Unfolding the Chronicles of the 808
When recounting the history of music production, one cannot overlook the profound influence of the Roland TR-808 . Launched in 1980, this groundbreaking drum machine was a bold venture that aimed to merge the worlds of music and technology. Its unique sounds, powered by analog synthesis and step sequencing, were unlike anything heard before.
The TR-808, however, was met with skepticism upon its release. The music industry, then reliant on ‘real’ acoustic sounds, found the synthetic tones of the 808 alien. However, the underappreciated machine gradually found an audience among the pioneers of burgeoning music scenes who saw potential in its unique sonic characteristics. Even though the TR-808 ceased production within three years of its launch, its influence was set to echo through the decades that followed.
The Heart of the 808: Decoding the Mystique of the 808 Kick
Of all the TR-808’s sounds, it’s the deep, resonating ‘boom’ of the 808 kick that has carved a niche in the annals of music history. This iconic sound was a product of Roland’s ambitious endeavor to create a drum machine that could mimic real drum sounds. The result was far from conventional drum sounds, but it stood out with a unique personality that caught the attention of forward-thinking musicians and producers.
The 808 kick is characterized by its extended low-frequency response, which gives it a powerful, resonant tone. However, the tonal flexibility of the 808 kick is perhaps its most valuable trait. It lends itself to an array of manipulations—stretching, compressing, pitch-shifting—yielding an entire spectrum of tones and timbres. This versatility provides producers with a vast playground for their sonic explorations.
Examining the 808’s Cross-genre Influence: A Rhythmic Chameleon
The TR-808 has shown chameleonic adaptability across genres, contributing to its enduring relevance. From its early adoption in hip-hop to its integration into electronic and pop music, the 808 has become ubiquitous.
Hip-hop’s Love Affair with the 808
The relationship between hip-hop and the 808 has been rich and symbiotic. The rhythmic complexity of hip-hop found a perfect partner in the wide array of percussive sounds the 808 could produce. The deep, resonant 808 kick provided a solid foundation for layered rhythms, while the machine’s snappy snare and crisp hi-hats punctuated the rhythmic structures. Over the years, the 808 has been at the heart of countless hip-hop classics, from the works of legendary groups like Public Enemy and N.W.A. to modern artists such as Drake and Kendrick Lamar.
Electronic Music’s Technological Muse
The rise of electronic music provided a fertile ground for the 808. The genre’s experimental nature and the emphasis on synthesized sounds made the 808 an indispensable tool for electronic music producers. Its sounds were manipulated, processed, and repurposed to create a multitude of sub-genres like techno, house, and breakbeat. The 808 has been an integral part of the sonic identity of electronic music, providing the rhythmic framework for pioneering artists like Aphex Twin, Kraftwerk , and the Belleville Three.
The Pop Industry’s Sonic Secret Weapon
As we journey into the world of pop music, the 808’s presence remains pervasive. Pop artists embraced the versatility of the 808, using it to weave complex rhythmic patterns and lend a rhythmic consistency to their tracks. Whether it’s the booming kick in a Beyoncé anthem or the rhythmic percussive elements in a Justin Bieber hit, the 808’s influence is unmistakable.
The 808 in Your Studio: Mastering the Art of 808 Programming
Embracing the 808 in your music production involves more than just triggering its iconic sounds. It’s about understanding the 808’s architecture and learning how to manipulate its parameters to craft a unique sonic signature.
The Blueprint of the 808
The 808 is a complex machine, and getting the most out of it involves understanding its architecture. Each sound on the 808 comes with a unique set of parameters, enabling you to shape the sound to your liking. The 808 kick, for example, provides controls for tuning, tone, and decay. Mastering these controls allows you to manipulate the kick’s pitch, timbre, and sustain, tailoring it to fit the context of your track.
Layering: Building Sonic Depth
One of the most potent techniques in music production is layering, and the 808 is a perfect tool for this. Layering involves stacking multiple 808 sounds to create a richer, fuller sound. By layering multiple 808 kicks, for example, you can create a massive, punchy sound that provides a solid rhythmic foundation for your track.
Sound Processing: Sculpting Your Sound
The 808 is not just about the raw sounds; it’s also about how you process and shape those sounds. Applying effects such as distortion, saturation, or compression can enhance the 808’s natural characteristics and imbue your tracks with a unique sonic personality. Sound processing allows you to fine-tune the 808’s sounds, transforming them from simple rhythmic elements into complex, textured sounds.
Nailing the 808 Kick: Achieving the Perfect Mix
Getting the 808 kick to sit perfectly in your mix is a task that requires a blend of technical know-how and creative intuition. Here are some pointers to help you achieve that perfect 808 kick sound in your songs.
Tuning the Kick
One often overlooked aspect of working with the 808 kick is tuning. Just like any other instrument, the 808 kick has a definite pitch, and it’s crucial to tune it to match the key of your track. This ensures that your kick resonates harmoniously with the other elements of your song, enhancing the overall cohesiveness of your mix.
EQ and Compression
Equalization (EQ) and compression are two powerful tools that can help shape your 808 kick. EQ allows you to enhance or attenuate specific frequencies, letting you mold the kick’s tone to your liking. Conversely, compression can help control the kick’s dynamics, ensuring it maintains a consistent presence in your mix.
Sidechain Compression
The Digital Age of the 808: Embracing Modern Tools
While the original Roland TR-808 is no longer in production, its iconic sounds live on through modern digital tools. Today’s music producers have access to a host of software plugins that faithfully emulate the sounds of the 808 while also providing enhanced control over sound shaping and manipulation.
Roland Cloud’s TR-808
Roland has carried forward the legacy of the 808 with their Roland Cloud TR-808 software plugin. This virtual instrument recreates the sounds and interface of the original 808, providing users with a faithful digital replica of the iconic drum machine.
Native Instruments’ TRK-01
Native Instruments’ TRK-01 is another modern tool that brings the power of the 808 to the digital realm. This plugin offers a dedicated 808 engine and advanced sound design capabilities, allowing you to shape and sculpt your 808 sounds.
Serato Studio
Serato Studio is a comprehensive beat-making suite that offers a variety of 808 sounds. Its user-friendly interface and powerful editing tools make it a great choice for beginners and seasoned producers alike.
The Legacy of the 808: A Timeless Sonic Innovator
As we look back on the journey of the Roland TR-808, it’s clear that this humble drum machine has transcended its physical form to become a symbol of musical innovation. Its iconic sounds have permeated the fabric of modern music, and its influence continues to inspire artists and producers around the world. The legacy of the 808 is a testament to the power of sound and its ability to shape our cultural landscape.

The Roland TR-808 is an iconic drum machine that was introduced in 1980 . It was one of the first drum machines to incorporate analog synthesis and step sequencing. Its unique sound palette, which included the famous ‘808 kick,’ quickly found a place in various music genres.
Why is the 808 so popular in music production?
The 808’s popularity in music production is due to its unique sonic characteristics and versatility. Its wide range of drum sounds can be manipulated to fit various genres, making it a versatile tool for producers. The ‘808 kick’ has a distinctive deep, resonant tone that has become a staple in many modern music tracks.
How can I get the most out of an 808 kick in my mix?
To get the most out of an 808 kick in your mix, consider the following tips:
- Tune your 808 kick to match the key of your track.
- Use EQ and compression to shape the tone and dynamics of the kick.
- Try layering multiple 808 kicks to create a full and rich sound.
- Use sidechain compression to create space for the 808 kick in the mix.
Can I use the Roland TR-808 today?
The original Roland TR-808 is no longer in production, but its sounds live on in digital format. Many software plugins today emulate the sounds of the 808, including Roland’s own Roland Cloud TR-808, Native Instruments’ TRK-01, and Serato Studio.

808 Bass and Beyond: Evolution of an Iconic Sound
The origin and evolution of the iconic bass drum sound.
Turn on the car radio in any city in the world and you’ll come across a deep, hard-hitting bass sound underpinning the local music style; from trap and southern hip-hop to Detroit techno and Puerto Rican reggaeton. The iconic drum machine that was born in Tokyo became a hip-hop mainstay and now transcends all genres.
We’ve put together a three-part series to explore the origin of the TR-808, the evolution of the booming sub-bass sound, and all the latest techniques.
The Beginning
Roland was founded by Ikutaro Kakehashi , a mechanical engineer from Osaka, Japan. At a young age he decided to devote his life to creating the ideal electronic musical instrument.
Ikutaro set out with a distinct ethos that would change the musical landscape forever. He wanted musical instruments to be accessible to all musicians–professional, aspiring, amateur and hobbyists. This meant that they should be inexpensive, intuitive and portable. He founded Roland in 1972 and later played a crucial role in the development of MIDI .
The TR-808 was released in 1980. It was one of the first programmable drum machines but, it was in direct competition with Roger Linn’s LM-1 Drum Computer which actually sounded like real drums while the TR-808 created more futuristic interpretations of drum sounds. The market wasn’t ready for its heavily synthesized sound, and the TR-808 was discontinued in 1983.
Despite this early setback and lack of commercial success, the TR-808 went on to be used on more No. 1 records than any other drum machine and played a crucial role in the formation of many genres.
How and why did the 808 become the top drum machine and launch a whole new style of booming bass sounds?
The simplest answer is that due to its unique and unusual kick drum circuit design, it has an objectively deeper and more pleasing sound than any other machine.
The 808 kick sound is comprised of two distinct parts: the initial click and a sustained deep bass tone.
The initial click was meant to emulate the attack sound of a real drum beater hitting the skin of the drum, and the sustained bass sound that followed the click was meant to emulate a decaying thump.
Only the click part:
Only the sustained sine part:
Full 808 Kick Drum:
Ikutaro’s goal was to make his electronic instruments affordable. In the early ’80s, computer memory chips were much more expensive than analog components. So it was cheaper to use analog circuitry to synthesize sounds from scratch than to use memory chips to play back samples.
Taking these factors into account, the engineers at Roland designed the circuit below; an inexpensive way to synthesize a kick drum using analog circuitry instead of relying on recorded samples.
This is how it works; a trigger sets the circuit in motion, generating a short click pulse. A portion of this pulse is then fed into a self-oscillating filter where it resonates and creates a sine wave. This is the same principle as microphone feedback, but it happens inside of an electronic circuit.
The engineers also added a low-pass filter which is used to shape the tone of the short pulse so that it’s more like a real drum beater hitting a bass drum and less sharp and noisy.
There you have it, the anatomy of an 808 kick drum; a short click pulse for an attack, followed by a sustained, low-frequency tone.
As you can hear from those audio examples, that kick is pretty basic.
How do we go from the original 808 kick sound to the modern hard-hitting sounds heard on a Future or Travis Scott track?
Well, modern producers are more inspired by the principal and structure of the 808 kick drum–a short click followed by a sustained, deep tone– than an actual 808 these days. The TR-808 introduced a new synthesized drum sound which changed the very concept of the drum kick. This laid the groundwork for countless producers to experiment and expand on the basic principal and make it into something new.
The Evolution
With the arrival of the sampler, artists started to sample the 808 kick drum rather than using the original real machine. And using the sampler, you can take a single sound and then play it like a pitched instrument across your keyboard. The 808 kick, with its long sustained sine tone, was perfect for this. Soon producers were loading up their samplers and playing 808 kicks no longer as drum samples but as full-on booming bass lines.
One of the defining points of hip-hop is a competitive nature which fuels stylistic evolution. In today’s quickly evolving landscape, we’re constantly trying to push our sound further, develop and learn new techniques.
In Part II, we’ll dive into a breakdown of our favorite modern techniques and tutorials that show how the legacy of the 808 is evolving today. In Part III, we’ll show you how to achieve them with SubLab.
There's nothing here (yet)!
That could easily change. We recommend adding SubLab XL.

These days, the 808 drum kit is still used everywhere and especially in modern hip hop music. Even if it isn’t a direct sample from the original 808 drum machine, most people refer to any sine wave in the sub frequency range as an “808”. In recent years, producers have been stretching the limits of 808s and using distortion, saturation, eq, and compression to shape them into sounds very different from the original Roland 808 drum sample.

Music Production
The 808 frequency – and how it shaped electronic music.
Annika Hope
Music has been a powerful force for centuries, and its influence on culture, emotions, and creativity is undeniable. But what many people don’t know is that there is a specific frequency that has become a staple in the music industry . This frequency is known as the 808 frequency, and its origins can be traced back to the early days of hip-hop and the acid house sub-culture.
In this article, we’ll explore the history and impact of the 808 frequency, and how it has become an integral part of modern music production.
What is the 808 Frequency?
The 808 frequency is a frequency range used in music production and sound engineering. It is a low-end frequency range that is used to create a deep and powerful sound. It is often used in hip-hop , trap, and EDM music.
The 808 frequency was first used in the early 1980s by the Roland TR-808 drum machine. This drum machine was used to create a unique sound that was not possible with other drum machines at the time. The TR-808 was used on many popular songs in the 1980s, including Marvin Gaye’s “Sexual Healing” and Afrika Bambaataa’s “Planet Rock”.
This sound has become an integral part of modern electronic music, and its influence can be heard in genres ranging from hip-hop to techno. The sound of the 808 frequency has become so iconic that it has been used in countless songs, and it has become a staple of modern music production .
808 and The Dance Music Scene
The 808 frequency has had a huge impact on the electronic dance music scene. It is a low-frequency sound that has become a signature element in many genres of electronic dance music and was first used in the early 1980s by Roland, who released the TR-808 drum machine. This machine allowed producers to create a sound that was different from the traditional drum machines of the time.
The 808 frequency has become so popular that it has become an iconic sound in the electronic dance music scene and is often used by some of the biggest names in the industry, such as Skrillex, Diplo, and Deadmau5.
808 Frequency and Acid House Culture
The 808’s unique sound was integral to the development of the acid house genre in the late 1980s. Its low-end bass drums and hi-hats, combined with its ability to generate and manipulate synthetic sounds, allowed producers to create the distinct basslines and rhythms that are now associated with acid house. The 808’s ability to modulate sounds and create unique patterns helped to define the genre and establish it as a distinct style of the godfather of electronic dance music.
The 808’s influence can still be heard today in a variety of genres, from techno and trance to dubstep and trap. Its signature sound is a staple of modern electronic music, and its impact on the acid-house scene is undeniable. It had a profound influence on shaping the music of iconic dance music producers like Afrika Bambaataa, Mantronix, The Prodigy , Fatboy Slim , The Chemical Brothers , Orbital , Leftfield , and many many more.
808 State and the 808 Revolution
The most famous electronic music producers who were influenced by the 808 Frequency that Roland gifted the music world, loved it so much that they named themselves after it – the iconic 808 State.
808 State is an English electronic music group that was formed in 1988 in Manchester. The group, which is composed of Graham Massey, Martin Price, and Gerald Simpson, is widely credited as one of the most influential and pioneering acts in the development of the UK’s electronic music scene. They are considered to be one of the earliest and most influential groups to utilize the Roland TR-808 drum machine.
808 State has released several albums over the years, ranging from the experimental Newbuild (1988) to the more accessible ex:el (1991). They have also collaborated with a variety of artists, including Björk, New Order, and A Guy Called Gerald. Their music has been sampled by a range of other artists, including The Prodigy and The Chemical Brothers.
808 State has been credited with helping to shape the sound of the UK’s electronic music scene, with their influence being felt in a variety of genres , including house , techno, and drum and bass. They have also been praised for their pioneering use of the Roland TR-808 drum machine, which has become one of the most iconic and recognizable sounds in electronic music. Their legacy continues to be felt today, with their influence being heard in the work of modern producers and DJs.
Their quintessential track of the late 80s – Pacific – perfectly showcases the use of the 808 Frequency and is as timeless today as it was over 30 years ago.
