Im looking for a way to eq or mix a live kick drum to get it as fat and almost techno sounding as possible; any suggestions? Real punchy and deep at the same time... thanks for the help!
 
I personal EQ a kick like this:

1)Boost 80Hz - 100Hz for "bass/warmth".
2)The usual cuts in the 200Hz - 400Hz area for that "boxy" sound.
3)Some tighter Q cuts at 200Hz, 600Hz, The point of these cuts makes for space for the fundamental tones of a bass guitar/other.
4)For "attack" I boost around 2KHz - 3KHz.
5)For dance orientated song & "click" sound, boost 3KHz - 4KHz

evening reading that might help.
