like i said you need to identify which contains the nicest frequencies for each eq job.

when i choose kicks ill usually choose some that are already rich in certain frequencies so as to keep eqing to a minimum.

you should also send all 3 to a group bus and compress them together

try these settings - threshold -6, ratio 3:1 to 5:1, attack slow (this lets the initial click thru and release long(ish) (this helps to gel the lower frequencies)

Nice one Guv'nor! will do, im gonna go play with it some more.
