Not quite sure why reverb on kicks is a bad thing.

its a bad thing for the same reason that panning your kick is a bad thing. its a bad thing for the same reason that chorus on the kick is bad. think about it. :roll:

It's fine so long as you make sure you make sure the bass signal & reverb stays mono. Using reasonably substantial amounts of controlled reverb seems like fairly common practise in techno....

Last record that was pressed which I worked on with others had a track with panning kicks. Needle doesn't jump. Thought it sounded fine.

how did it work on a rig, did you test it?

Yeah. It's worked fine whether I'm playing either the digital file or the record. Granted, I really don't have much of a clue as to what goes into mastering for vinyl so I don't know if the engineer would have tweaked the track to make the panning work on the vinyl. But, from what I can tell through listening, the panning wasn't really touch. About all it sounded like was the engineer compressed the track a bit since the volumes were most likely a bit hot.

The only thing I'd heard about panning kicks on vinyl posing was a problem was that, if the kicks were too loud, it could jump the needle. That might explain why I think it sounds compressed. But, hell, here's a link to the track. It came out on Bastard Loud 18 and is basically a dis on a friend, DJ Nevermind.

the guy at the mastering stage probaly mono-fied everything bellow 150hz or so.. so u still get the panning... but if the original add some hint of phasing frequencies on the bass, the outcome of the master might have a slightly less bottom heavy eq!
