Bass Enhancement

[Scarr]

Hi,

I'm looking to add some extra thud to the low-end of my tracks, and I was hoping someone could give me some pointers/suggestions. I'm doing a "rocktronica" type thing, and have been hoping to get that ultra-low sub bass kind of impact that many of the electronic genres have. The idea is to make people's butts physically move, regardless of what the people are actually doing.

I've seen the dbx 120xp popping up in a few producers racks, and have wondered if anyone has had any experience with it. In addition to than that, I'd appreciate any suggestions anybody has.

Thanks,
Scarr

I don't know that DBX unit you mentioned but to get that amount of power in the low end without blowing I reckon you will need a multiband compressor so you can compress the shit out of the lows but not everything else.
