I'm having some issues mixing my kick and bass together. I've cut some frequencies inversely to allow these two to sit together, but I'm still having some problems hearing the kick through the bass when the drummer is playing quietly. Unfortunately, the kick was quite boomy (FiberSkyn heads) so there's only so much I can do with EQ. I appreciate the drummer playing with dynamics, as a good drummer should, but it's causing the kick to get lost during the lower dynamics, so I'm wondering if there's a way to boost the quieter kicks to be as loud as the louder parts. I'm having problems getting the right compressor/limiter settings to do this, raising the quiet ones is causing clipping on the track. Can someone help me out, or does anyone have other suggestions to keep the dynamics while helping the kick cut through the mix?
Also, I tried searching for threads on the topic of mixing kick and bass together and didn't find much, does anyone have any good links?
