Kicks from the Languedoc-Roussillon region have a slightly softer woom in the decay and a gently tone of wood, while kicks from the Midi-Pyrénées are actually spelled "Quique" and have a spike of granite in the attack with some rotten olives in the sustain.

For a real french kick you should try some old barrels from either the Auvergne region or from the Lower-Normandy, layered with a bit of air from North-Calais.

Most french house kicks loose richness and flavour if played to hard. Subtle compression enhances the lifespan.

It is also possible to create a french house completely from scratch. I think this is the way to go in this case:

that's so mean. Someone asks a serious question, and instead of being helpful like anyone else here, you hijack the tread by providing a link to some completely OT and obscure technical thingie no one will understand anyway.
I mean, really. People go to those sites, they try out things, the start using ducking effects and all that and afterwards we go dancing and have to listen to all this....

So many ducking effects to choose from.

I'm intrigued. Where can I find those Ducks you speak off and how do I implement them into an audio effect rack?

Sounds kinky to me, better if was a swan though.

I think so. We reached the sociologic and cultural part. You know, the influence of french house on the development of late eighteen century modal intercomplexity as described by Jellyfish, Monson and Fischer. Essential reading, really.
