I am wondering what EQ and Compression settings are being used for Kick Drums.
I am primarily working with Metal bands.
Lets say I am using Drumagog and know I am working with a good Kick drum Sample.
I tend to Boost lightly around 50-60Hz, Cut -12-16dB with a mid Q setting around 350-400Hz, Boost around 4-5dB in 3kHz with a low Q setting and Boost 4-5dB in the 5-7kHz range.
I find the low end or punch lacking and am generally affraid of turning up the low end.
I am wondering what others are setting their Kick EQ and Compression settings at.
Is the low EQ best with a Shelving or set to a certain Q range?
