the less of a kick you should have

or boominess of it

I see

of course if you're gonna mix two kicks together, you should remove the clashing frequencies

what's usually done is having a boom and a "tick", a lower and higher kick

as an example of what I said earlier, you have

where the kick is perceived to be strong, but isn't really

The general idea I have tried to analyse the sample through an EQ plugin to find the bass frequencies and then boost them. So, if the 808 booms (speaker wobble), at say 50hz, I would boost it there and then do the opposite on the kick sample.

Yeah, the kick is more punchy than loud I guess in that song

I think sidechaning is going on there as well, to make the kick punch harder.

the kick just works well

the music is created around the kick

so it's not so much the kick in itself

the kick really depends on the music

that's the most I can say, really

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?

I have jbl 308

but

Nice

kicks are really hard to get right

if you don't have the room

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

precisely because of the boom

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

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

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

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

but the lower frequencies gets more affected by the room

so it creates strong peaks because it resonate with the room

and they create blind spoits

spots*

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

to compare

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

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

etf

etc

I'm not saying it's not possible

just harder

and something to keep in mind

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