How to get a heavy low-end kick
Added 2024-02-14 20:51:05 +0000 UTCI’ve been reminding myself of some older mixing techniques I used to use a lot some years ago.
Let’s revisit Bob Power’s low end kick technique to give a house kick some extra weight. Will work on any genre.
Try it if you’ve never done this and you may find it can really make your kick feel bigger!

It’s true the DBX160 is real sharp! This technique isn’t that super dependent on the type of compressor, I’d say. Haven’t tried the SBC!

2024-02-15 01:12:02 +0000 UTCnice tip! curious if this would cause phasing / clashing in the lows since its a duplicate "sub" added in. would the compression help mitigate that?
