Kick-drum Processing Tips
Is the sound of your kick drum letting the rest of your mix down? In which case, find out how to snatch victory from the jaws of defeat with this month's in-depth bass-drum processing workshop.
A lifeless kick-drum sound can bring down the energy level of your whole track, especially if you work in one of the many uptempo rock, pop or dance styles. Despite the importance of this one sound, however, surprisingly few of the tracks we receive for our Demo Doctor and Business End columns really nail it. Fortunately for Logic users, though, there are a large number of tools available which can help polish (and salvage!) lacklustre kick tracks, whether they're part of a live kit sound, or a sample running from a MIDI module or virtual instrument.
