the right kick...

[The StabbinCabin]

okay so i bought supersonic samples a few months back and have been playing with layering samples and what not

but im not getting that low thud that still has enough mids and highs to cut through the mix... same deal with the tom samples- i dont know if i'm mixing them correctly or what with eqing and compression

can anyone help me out here?

also, does anyone know of a good reverb plugins that do good for emulating a good room sound to fill the gaps in the mix... the reverbs i'm using are wearing on me and sound cheap

but im not getting that [...] to cut through the mix... same deal with the tom samples

how about just turning everything else down?

 

[The StabbinCabin]

ive tried that... same problem

my kick stands out but its all mids and highs

if you listen to "our last ice keez" you should hear what i'm talking about... my studio page is on the friends list but the uncompressed version of that song is a different mix

the toms sound decent i suppose but i dont know what it is... my setup is on the studios page

Ah, now I see it. I still suggest that you turn everything down, its really overcompressed and is distorting a lot because you've driven it against the limiter (I checked the mp3 you uploaded to myspace, and the distortion isnt myspaces fault). Then the kick: try a wide dip at 500hz (ranging from 200 to 800hz) and a small highshelf boost at 2khz and then compress the kick a bit

yeah i think magneto played a big part in that...

thanks a lot man

do you know about any good reverb plugins?

 

[lordcthulhu]

I'm guessing you're talking reverb on snare, toms, etc? Freeverb2 (yes, it is free), or use convolution reverb with Impulse responses (read here)
