3 Ways to Bring the Low-End Back Into the Kick Drum
If you want the kick drum to provide a sound which will rattle your rib-cage, it might be a good move to duck that frequency from the bass part so that the kick can really take over at that point. Equally, if you’re using a fat, rich bass sound, it might be a good idea to warm up the low mid-range and similarly duck the kick here to allow the bass to strut its stuff.
Key Takeaways:
- Part of my issue with the bass drum is that we didn’t capture a good low end in the recording. I actually copied the track and then eq’d it to bring out the beater a little more to help it be heard at all.
- It’s a bit of search and destroy or is it search and rescue, but once you find the right frequencies in each instrument it’s a breeze to create a good balance between the kick and the bass guitar.
- Finding a good place in the lows where the kick really has weight and then cutting those frequencies in the bass and vice-versa is an age old trick.
