To get your drums fatter without killing all the transients...

Group all of your drum tracks. Drag an empty Effects rack onto the group. Right click and create 2 chains. Keep one chain empty - this will be your dry signal (which retains the transients). Drag some kind of saturation effect onto the other chain and turn the chain volume all the way down. Use a rather extreme setting on the effect. I'd recommend Saturator, Overdrive, Vinyl Distortion, any Bitcrusher, Audio Damage's free RoughRider...CamelCrusher etc. - i.e. anything that brings a some dirt into the mix. I like to just use one plug but I guess you could go crazy and add a bunch. Now slowly dial that chain's volume up until your break starts to fatten up. You should get a nice fat sound without that horrible over-compression that everyone rocks at the mmoment. More like running it through a desk than brickwall limiting the sh*t out of it.

intreresting

you mean - this effect will be applied to both - kick and snare?
and group kick and snare together?

and no compression?

[nylarch]

You can apply some compression to the group as well - this is more for getting some subtle warming / distortion to the whole drum group.

and what about kick layering?
and when i layer kicks how should i eq them after? as i guess they must spike at around 80 HZ in breakbeat music?

and everything lower is for bass??

im speaking of modern nu school breakbeat, with rolling basslines (like in full on trance), NOT that wobble shit )))))
