Bass Drum Problems..

First off I am Using Waldorf Attack in Cubase VST 5.2 on a Mac g4 Dual 450mhz Processors.

I am using Bass Drums with a fairly long Decay,Sustain and Reease.
My problem is if the Release stage of the Bass Drum carries over another Bass Drum Note(Which all of the notes carry on to the next one to give it a bommier sound...That note seems to either get VERY LOW or make a wabble sound. It sound like the 2 frequences of the bass drums fight over that frequence range and causes strange wabbling or lowering of the sound.

I've tried to turn down release to about 12% and increase the Sustain to about 90%. I can carry the sound and stop right before the new one begins. But that does not sound right.
I've heard countless songs where the Release of the bass carried over the following not. It helps to keep the bass going, and sounds alot better.

Can anyone help me out by explaining, web articles, ect. on how I can get two of the same Bass Drum frequencies to overlap without any loweing of the volume, wobbling and other weird sounds tht seem to show me that these two frequencies do not seem that they can be played together. The Bass Drum seems to fight for frequency range.

I also tried sampling the Bass Drum sounds and playing them through my EMU ESI-4000 Sampler. And that still does the same as playing through ATTACK

IF anyone could please help with this problem it would be GREATLY appreciated.

Thanks,

Danger-Rus

Seems to me all you need is a kick that keeps a fairly steady level untill the next kick, at which the first one should stop. You could try setting a gate to open at exactly the point where the new drum comes in, but I'm not too sure that would work/be easy.

If you can get the kick(s) into an audio sample you can simply cut the sample at the end of the bar/beat/whatever. That's mostly how I handles these things.
