Some questions for this thread:

- How to prevent it from being muddy?
- Kick in front or behind the bass? In what situations?
- Do you use subharmonic generators? Wich ones?
- Do you always HP your guitars? And bass?
- How to gel bass and kick together?
- How do you keep your bass at constant levels without automation?
- Whats your approach in kick and bass compression and how do you think it affects the punchiness or body of the mix?
