i've a complete novice in producing so thought i would start my journy with fruity loops (learn the lingo and get to grips with filters etc) before moving on to something a lot more professional

needless to say i've already run into a brick wall. i cant for the life of me work out why my kick drums have no punch to them :bash:

i've spent hours tweaking compressors, pass filters and eqs (although i must admit i have no idea what the settings on the compressors or filters should be set to) with little improvement :cry:

any hints guys?
