Reverb on andy sneap kick sample

[Condenado]

I'm using the kick sample to record my band. I have a dude about using reverb on the kick or not using it. what do you think, it would be better to do it? if it's so, what parametres would you use?Thanks!

I don't use reverb on the kick.

Maybe for effect but rarely otherwise. Fast kickparts sounds really muddy with reverb.

and what about compresion, do you think this sample is already compress or should i compress more?

Whatever makes it fit into the mix.

Well what would be your motivation for compressing it? Are you trying to control dynamic range, or are you just trying to change the sound of the kick?

On that note, why would someone even compress something as transient as a kick if you were using just one sample per track? (alternating tracks between samples, as I do; I don't know if this is common practice)

Reverb, kick, no! Unless its by itself on some sort of 'part' then bugger it methinks

you can try if it sounds good, but I doubt it.

I think compression can give you a bit more body with the sneap kick, but that's just my two cents.

my motivation would be that the kick sounds ok with the rest of instruments in the mix, its sound is perfect without more compression.

I've used that kick a bunch and I always compress it a little bit on faster beats, either on it's own or parallel...one way or the other, it's getting pushed somehow.
