the kick just works well

2020-01-12 01:11:40 UTC  

the music is created around the kick

2020-01-12 01:11:47 UTC  

so it's not so much the kick in itself

2020-01-12 01:12:10 UTC  

the kick really depends on the music

2020-01-12 01:12:17 UTC  

that's the most I can say, really

2020-01-12 01:13:42 UTC  

Well, when I can finish my mix tomorrow, I will have to send it to you. Then, you might see the issue I'm trying to resolve. What monitors do you have btw?

2020-01-12 01:15:28 UTC  

I have jbl 308

2020-01-12 01:15:29 UTC  

but

2020-01-12 01:15:44 UTC  

Nice

2020-01-12 01:15:47 UTC  

kicks are really hard to get right

2020-01-12 01:15:50 UTC  

if you don't have the room

2020-01-12 01:15:56 UTC  

so it's not really about the speakers at that point

2020-01-12 01:16:15 UTC  

precisely because of the boom

2020-01-12 01:16:35 UTC  

you can create some really good kicks, then put them on some other speakers and they're shit in comparison

2020-01-12 01:16:36 UTC  

Ahh, do you mean to be able to crank the volume?

2020-01-12 01:17:38 UTC  

I have two monitors. I have KRK Rokit G3 5's and M-Audio BX5 D2's.

2020-01-12 01:17:47 UTC  

I don't remember what the name is for some reason

2020-01-12 01:18:13 UTC  

but the lower frequencies gets more affected by the room

2020-01-12 01:18:25 UTC  

so it creates strong peaks because it resonate with the room

2020-01-12 01:18:30 UTC  

and they create blind spoits

2020-01-12 01:18:32 UTC  

spots*

2020-01-12 01:19:10 UTC  

I guess you'll have to try them out on different headphones, speakers, etc

2020-01-12 01:19:14 UTC  

to compare

2020-01-12 01:19:54 UTC  

it's a shitty situation, but there is a reason these guys pay huge sums to have their rooms treated

2020-01-12 01:20:26 UTC  

again, it's possible to get around this, by having others check it, finding out what to look for with your equipment

2020-01-12 01:20:28 UTC  

etf

2020-01-12 01:20:31 UTC  

etc

2020-01-12 01:20:55 UTC  

I'm not saying it's not possible

2020-01-12 01:20:57 UTC  

just harder

2020-01-12 01:21:00 UTC  

and something to keep in mind

2020-01-12 01:21:30 UTC  

Yeah, my room doesn't have the best acoustics either.

2020-01-12 01:21:47 UTC  

Guess, I will have to try lots of speakers.

2020-01-12 01:21:57 UTC  

Go to a mate's house or something

2020-01-12 01:22:27 UTC  

Good thing is I can really crank my speakers due to living out in the country

2020-01-12 01:22:31 UTC  

avicii made a lot of music without ever creating a kick

2020-01-12 01:23:02 UTC  

well

2020-01-12 01:23:06 UTC  

if you increase the speaker volume

2020-01-12 01:23:12 UTC  

you are actually making the situation worse

2020-01-12 01:23:25 UTC  

because the room will affect the sound more

2020-01-12 01:23:49 UTC  

Should I do it at lower volumes then? Not booming?

2020-01-12 01:24:01 UTC  

probably both
