Fusing the kick with the bassline

[The_Laughing_Man]

To put it simply, it`s all about compression.
In the case of SL Sessions anyway.
Pounding grooves used to do this a lot too.

ive started doing this recently... and it seems to really bring the power out in kicks,

NOT eq'ing.
or minimal eqing. for ages and ages, ive been over eqing everything, and its only now that i believe that without going mad with it, u can really get big drums.

maybe a teeny bit of eq to tuck your bassline under. so thats what ive been up to :)
