Making Kick Drum

[THEMOD]

I usually make the kick with synthesizing (Using the pitch go down drastically)

But I heard that there is a way using EQ, Compression and layering.

Anyone knows about this way of making kick?

Please tell me in detail...

Thanks

I'm guessing the technique you've heard about is layering multiple kick samples using EQ and compression.

What I do a lot is a little bit of both, I'll use a kick sample with a lot of character to the thwack and then layer a synthesized kick for the low end thud.

Basically you would probably want to roll off the low end of the kick sample to make room for the synthesized kick drum, EQ and compress however you like, helps to try to tune the kicks to the same root note if you can but that's not always possible

Thanks! Now I understand what people were saying.
