hi guys,br
br
sorry for my bad english,br
br
im producing tech house… every time i put drum loops over my kickdrum they eat my kick drum… my kick got an nice top and low end and sounding verry fat… but most of time the claps or the snares in the loops killin the punch from my kick drum… if i turn down the volume of the loop to make the kick drum louder the loop goin under in the mix…otherwise the kick drum goin under :-(br
br
if i sidechain the loop with the kickdrum… the snares and claps in the drum loops has got not presence enough!!! but if i listen to the tracks of the pro producers… they always got an big fat kick and loops with snares or claps that sounding also fat… br
br
please help me br
br
Can you attach an audio example of one of your loops and I will try to diagnose.

Loop 1. the kick punch fat through the mix but the loops and snare sounding bad…br
br
Loop 2 the kick lost on presence everytime the snare or the hits from snare or claps in the addon loops hittin… but the snares and claps sounding goodbr
br
but if i listen to the tracks of the pro producers… its like an mix of my loop 1 and loop 2!br
br
they got fat kicks and snare or claps hittin from the addon loops… you know what i mean :-))
you’ve almost answered your own question.br
br
Parallel processing should give you something close to what you want… Its pretty common to really crush compress your drums and mix it in to and clean version.br
br
giving you that really energetic full sound but leaving some of the transients intact.br
br
you can do it in ableton using FX racks or just by routing the same audio to 2 separate tracks.br
br
thany you man… aaahh parallel compression is the key… totally forget this to use :-)br
