kicks

accellent	Date: November 15, 2005 @ 6:49 PM Any good advice on how to get the bass in the kick drum to stand out in a mix without overloading the volume with EQ?
hantu	Date: November 15, 2005 @ 7:05 PM layer multiple kicks... eq them a bit if needed...
zer0th	Date: November 15, 2005 @ 10:21 PM are they competing with bass? if so duck one of your kicks over the bass line, use the peak automater over a kick to control the volumn of the bass. Then when the kick plays theres a little pocket for it to dominate the bass end
DJRunaway	Date: November 16, 2005 @ 1:36 AM Use a compressor is my advise It always works for me Or, adjust the volume of the bassy sound in the EQ mixer in the fx bank (f9)
slimerubik	Date: November 21, 2005 @ 11:40 AM i suggest you use a bass boost like the RBass by Wave. use a compressor to limit your output. then, cut off all undesired frequencies. little advice with the bass boost : make sure you boost a frequency that your speakers can tolerate.
iOrbit	Date: November 21, 2005 @ 6:39 PM Try throwing on some blood overdrive and a distortion filter.. eq that a bit and then slam on a compressor and "brickwall" it. also; LP filter /w high res and automated cut = Lots of fun.
DigitalEntropy	Date: November 22, 2005 @ 12:43 PM throw a little bass boost and use the stereo enhancer. pull the bass to closer to one side and then put the kick closer to the other

GeneHilbert	Date: November 26, 2005 @ 12:58 PM give it it's own sonic territory. boast 80 or 90hz or whatever the character of the BD is, or where you want it in relation to everything else. Drop all the other levels below or to where the kick is present enough for the composition. Let the song guide you - some tunes don't need it out front, some do. Before you start turning knobs - listen to the piece. Often enough the song will dictate.
mdearing	Date: November 26, 2005 @ 1:35 PM Another thing that I can think of is using a low pass filter on the bass guitar, or just remove some the low end from the bass guitar. But eq-ing the kick drum is probably going to be the most effective thing.
EtherEclectic	Date: November 28, 2005 @ 2:42 AM i would suggest aswell as what everyone else said but also sticking to the FPC kicks, not sure if your version has those, but they are awsome quality real kit percussion. i layer those for more kick, adjusting EQ etc. i did a track titled "for all is nothing" i layered 3kick drums on it to give a large bass sound.
DJRunaway	Date: December 9, 2005 @ 10:30 AM Bass boost - 7band EQ - Paramatic EQ - Filter - Compressor Those are the thing you need for a fine outstanding beat, which doesn't override the other sounds !
